影视歌曲：《美国恐怖故事》S02E08插曲 Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

在《美国恐怖故事》第二季第八集中，圣诞夜，利来到一家商店外面跟一名圣诞老人攀谈，圣诞老人没有察觉到死亡在逼近，利掏出手枪杀死了圣诞老人。苏西来到客厅发现穿上圣诞服装的利，，苏西带着利离开客厅来到父母床边。苏西父亲睁开眼睛看到站在苏西身后的利，利绑架了苏西父母，苏西父母被利开枪击毙。而这首《Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree》与圣诞老人相应和，恰好体现出圣诞节的特征。

这首歌出自是著名的美国乡村音乐歌手brenda lee，她从小便展示出了音乐天赋，年仅15岁时发行的唱片取得了很好的成绩。

 【歌词】

Rocking around the Christmas tree

At the Christmas party hop¹

Mistletoe hung where you can see

Every couple tries to stop

Rocking around the Christmas tree,

Let the Christmas spirit ring

Later we'll have some pumpkin² pie

And we'll do some caroling.

You will get a sentimental³

Feeling when you hear

Voices singing let's be jolly,

Deck the halls with boughs⁴ of holly⁵

Rocking around the Christmas tree,

Have a happy holiday

Everyone's dancing merrily

In the new old-fashioned way.

You will get a sentimental

Feeling when you hear

Voices singing let's be jolly,

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Rocking around the Christmas tree,

Have a happy holiday

Everyone's dancing merrily

In the new old-fashioned way.

Merry Christmas!
