Smartphones And Mobiles
Happy holidays from the Motorola family! However you choose to celebrate the holiday season this year, what we love is being able to celebrate in a way that fits you. We know that many of you use your phones to listen to music, and so in the spirit of the season, we put together a holiday playlist to play on your phones.
Take a listen to our full Spotify playlist here:
Just why do we love these songs so much? Hear from a few members of the team:
Kristin Arnold and Lexi Valasek from Consumer Research
?All I Want for Christmas Is You,? Mariah Carey
?I have only one holiday song I like, and I like it a lot. I could listen to it on repeat forever and skip all other holiday songs (seriously, if there was radio station that played only this song on repeat from Thanksgiving to Christmas, I'd listen). Something about this song just makes me smile.?
Michelle Gatsuo from Product Management
?God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,? Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLachlan
?It gives me a warm feeling of holiday spirit which is playful and joyful! This pop rendition combines many traditional holiday songs into one single song. I love both bands and together the harmony of voices is absolutely outstanding.?
Lally Narwal from Product Marketing, and David Schuster from Product Management
?Chanukah Song,? Adam Sandler
?Can't go wrong with Adam. Why? For years I wondered about Harrison Ford's ethnic background. Thanks to Adam, I now know he is a 1/4 Jewish? not too shabby. It?s also a light hearted look at the holiday season and brings a smile to my face.?
Dickon Isaacs from Design
?Decoration Day? by Howlin Wolf
?I grew up in England in a house where my parents were huge fans of American jazz and blues. My dad managed the Marquee Club in London for a few years and during that time booked artists coming to the UK for the first time including Howlin Wolf and Sonny Boy Williamson. Christmas was always a music-filled time at home, with this song always making it's way to the record player. Old blues, old vinyl and a warm crackling fire!?
Heather Dowdy from Product
"What Christmas Means to Me" by Stevie Wonder
?It's a classic song that always brings a smile to my face. It reminds me of all the great memories I get to make with my closest loved ones during Christmas.?
Michael Jahnke, Consumer Experience Design
?Christmas in Hollis,? RUN-DMC; ?The Little Drummer Boy,? Bing Crosby; ?Do They Know It?s Christmas,? Band Aid
?From a classic duet between a Legend and a Space Oddity, a surprise Christmas rap hit for the whole family, and a genuine outpouring of hope from some of the decades biggest stars? these are the songs that say the most about what the holiday season is to me.?
Happy Holidays!
