Hi Dave. You're right. The performance of "Nos Galan" is in English, and the lyrics are not the traditional "Deck the Halls." Send me the lyrics you referenced and I'll check them out.


I do have the CD, so I will also compare the lyrics of "Suo Gan" to the ones at the link you provided.


As far as the liner notes, for "Nos Galan" it just says 'Original Welsh (Deck the Halls) arr. Charles Clement (Soho Press)' and for "Suo Gan" it says 'trad. melody, words Robert Bryan arr. G. Guest (Paraclete Pres)'.

Thanks for the info. The Asylum Street Spankers version is in the database. I'd love to get the original Louis Armstrong version in too, but I still have some questions. Was it released as Louis Armstrong & The Commanders, Louis Armstrong and The Commanders, or Louis Armstrong With The Commanders? It seems that the song "Cool Yule" was on the other side, so I'm also not sure if the release title should just be "Zat You, Santa Claus?" or "Zat You, Santa Claus?/Cool Yule"?


Can any other editors help with this?

It does look like a double, but it's actually correct. There are 2 entries because the first release was digital. See http://www.secondhandsongs.com/topic/44870



Also, just as a friendly hint, you should try to direct posts to the editor who made the entry. The Sonny J performances were added by Wally Creek. If you click on the performance and scroll down to the end of the page you'll see "Added by", the editor's name, and the date.
