Bryan Adams is my favorite Canadian (that’s even counting the “You Can’t Do That on Television” cast).
I also really love his version of “Run Rudolph Run” from that “A Very Special Christmas” album I’ve been reminiscing about all season.
And now, for my favorite Bryan Adams song: “Summer of ’69.”
I have always wanted to have a tomato fight.
And now, for the best power ballad this side of REO Speedwagon, I present “Heaven,” which I learned how to play on the keyboard in 1988. And by play, I mean, picking out the melody and forcing it to the be the correct one.
Want more holiday music? The artists I’ve been featuring this month are listed under the disturbing Wham! photo.
Wham! The other outtakes from the “Last Christmas” single are even more disturbing. (Contributed Image)
