Sleigh Ride is a popular orchestral piece composed by Leroy Anderson. This piece's original idea was in July 1946 but it was only concluded in February 1948. The lyrics came later, when Mitchell Parish wrote them in 1950.
A curious fact about this song is that although Sleigh Ride is usually associated with Christmas and it's also common to see the song on Christmas compilations, the lyrics never mention a holiday or religion matter.
Ella Fitzgerald, Neil Diamond, Spice Girls, KT Tunstall and She & Him are some of the amount of artists that covered this song.
This Fun.'s version is going to appear on a special Christmas compilation named Holidays Rule that counts with artists from jazz to pop like Paul McCartney or Rufus Wainwright.
"Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling, "Yoo hoo",
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you."
And friends are calling, "Yoo hoo",
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you."
