Growing up in the North East 70s and 80s Lou Monte And Dominick where on every Radio Station Thanks For This one J brought back some Good Memories!!👍👍👍
had to put this on, my husband being Italian especially an Italian from *Brook-a-lyn* we're just relaxing after our Christmas dinner and I told him Babe, you've got to watch this Reactor I watch. You put a smile on his face!!! Again Merry Christmas!
I guess this song has been a Christmas staple in the NYC & Philadelphia areas for decades. I'd never heard it until I'd moved briefly to NJ about 20 years ago. The last few years it seems like this classic is starting to get it's well-deserved recognition in the rest of the country.
Ayyyy, Lou Monte is pretty fuckin good. Never until COVID-19 hit have I expanded my musical horizon's, but Lou Monte just hits the spot. Not even lying to you, it truly is 60's - 80's music that is getting me through this pandemic right now. Wish I knew about all these bands sooner as I now feel I have so much to catch up on haha
Jamel! Watching you sing along to Dominick the Donkey has made my day 😁Shoulders shakin in a Christmas onesie lol it doesn't get any better than that 😅You're going to be driving your wife crazy walking around the house singing this song. Blessings to you and your family Jamel 💚🌟🎄☃️❤️
Omg, you are too kool, seriously every Christmas until.i was 10 , my grandpa would play this and I would dance on top of his shoes, and when lou sang kick my grandpa would try for the rest of song try kicking me off his big steel tip boots. Ty 4 this!!!
Thanks Jamel for reacting to this song. Every Christmas my family would play Christmas songs on our record player (turntable for you younger people) and Dominick the Donkey was always at the top of the list. I still have the 45- 7" record of this song. Keep giving us great music to listen to finish out 2020 and into a better 2021. Phil
This song, Snoopy and the Red Baron and I Believe in Father Christmas by ELP are my 3 go to Christmas songs. Your enjoyment of this song had me smiling ear-to-ear... Merry Christmas
From a " For real" NY Dominic, you just made me smile and Merry Christmas " Buona Natale" and Happy New Year to you and all of yours!!! 😀🙏🤶🏼🎅🏼☃️❄️🥂🍾🎁🎀🎊🎉🇮🇹🇮🇹
If you've never heard Alabama they had 33 number one hits in the 80s. Song of the south, Take me down, If you're gonna play in Texas, High cotton, 40 hour work week, Born country, Feels so right and Roll on are some of their greats. Merry Christmas!
Heard this on XM, and ended up downloading on iTunes. This song is fun to hear in July when songs are on shuffle!! If you have time, take a listen to Santa Claus is Coming (in a Boogie Woogie Choo Choo Train) by The Tractors. Killer piano groove!!! Merry Christmas to you, your family, and your fans!!!
That was fun. Great to get a glimpse into an Italian Christmas tradition, thanks Jamel! And Merry Christmas to you! And thank you for all your reactions this year it has definitely brightened my pandemic experience.
My first time hearing it this year, I love this song. I've had the hippopotamus song playing at work every hour on the hour. That will get stuck in your head and not in a good way. lol
Ha, that used to play several times a day during the holidays on the jukebox in the tavern in the building where I lived. (It was one of those buildings with several apartments and a "corner tap" kind of place that dot the Chicago area landscape.)
I love your energy and the fact that you are having fun. This is a fun Christmas song. Shame on those 4 people who didn't like this reaction, you must be internet "Karen's" ..... Jamel is spreading love to all where it needs to be. Happy Holidays 🎄🌟
In the old days they used to call that type of music novelty songs. Later came "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer," laughed so hard the first time I heard it. I was born in "Brook-a-lyn," really miss all the Italian food and folks.
I liked this song when I first heard it... then my mom wouldn’t stops singing it... badly... We now do everything we can to make sure she doesn’t remember it exists.
Happy Holidays, Jamel!!! I love the hat and the snow! Peace out 2020!!! I hope people don't give you a hard time for takin' too long to get to songs; cuz you're doin' fine! PS: You bring us joy every time we see you!!!
Oh dude, you gotta do Peppino the Italian Mouse, Who Stole My Provolone, What Did Washington Say When He Crossed The Deleware, and Please Mr. Columbus.
I don't know the name of the other song but I was at a restaurant and I don't think it was anywhere near Christmas time but all of a sudden the singer of the song playing on the speaker sounded VERY familiar and after about a minute of trying to figure it out I was like 'GASP! It's the Dominick The Donkey guy!' I mean it probably wasn't COMPLETELY random since it was an Italian restaurant 😅 but still I had never heard any other song by Lou Monte before this song so it was still a very pleasant surprise.
Merry Christmas to all here who enjoy Big J's way of getting all of us here. With peace and love and Keepin Good Music Alive! Thank you Lord for good people like Jamel. They truly make our days enjoyable with his positive Atty-Tude.
Wow I've never heard this song before. I could so see my aunt and uncle singing this song! I know u always try 2 do uplifting songs! U should try Patty Labelle "Come as you are". It's truly a beautiful song!
It’s honestly not Christmas until I hear this song on the radio
Where have I been I'm 55 and have never heard this. Classic.
@@5yearsout me either I'm 62
Came here to say this!
I know, it's my mom's generation, but her crowd introduced me to it, now its not Christmas without it.
My Parents and I share the same belief....LOL
If you're from the New York area, you hear this on the radio all December.
This is one of my favorites! And you are right....it gets stuck in your head but you can't be sad and sing this!
Every Italian household at Christmas 🎄
Most definitely!!! I miss the big get togethers 😭 damn Covid! Christmas Day we always do the Tarantella
Along with Peppino the Italian Mouse!
@@joemercury100 Always!!!!!!!!
If you’re Italian, you know😂😂
Or, Italian heritage. Haw, haw.
Lol yup!! 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
I'm Italian well 50% but still proud of it
Lou Monte did a lot of novelty or humorous songs, many related to his Italian heritage and the culture, ways of speaking, etc.
If this song doesn't make you smile, you have no sense of humor!!!! Merry Christmas xoxoxo
😆 Isn’t it beautiful??!! 🙃 Hope you had a great Christmas....
Allison Krauss and Yo Yo Ma, 'the Wexford Carol'. It's beautiful!
As an Italian American I’ve heard this song every Christmas since I was born and it still makes me smile! 😀
Luigi was my step-grandfather he was a trip

I feel like I have missed out not knowing about this song until now. La la la...........Happy Holidays!!
This song was a must in my household. Lol!! Have a very Merry Christmas Jamel and everyone!
This song was super popular when I first moved to Massachusetts in the early 2000s. Always makes me smile ear to ear.
Growing up in the North East 70s and 80s Lou Monte And Dominick where on every Radio Station Thanks For This one J brought back some Good Memories!!👍👍👍

Boy this one brought me back. I love that you pick all types of music!
Im 50 yrs old and love this song. First time i have heard it. Big Smiles.

And Boston too.
Absolutely. Grew up in South Jersey, just outside of Philadelphia. I've heard this my whole life.
An Italian woman I worked with a few decades ago introduced me to this song. She played to embarrass her son- Dominic!
Ayyyy, Lou Monte is pretty fuckin good. Never until COVID-19 hit have I expanded my musical horizon's, but Lou Monte just hits the spot. Not even lying to you, it truly is 60's - 80's music that is getting me through this pandemic right now. Wish I knew about all these bands sooner as I now feel I have so much to catch up on haha

There's a subset of Christmas songs that gets funnier the drunker you get and this song is at the top of that list.
Being Italian I've always loved it this song.... Brook a leene. Lou Monte was a staple growing up in our life. Thank you for this great song❣️

The Italian neighborhoods in Brooklyn are THE places to be at Christmas. So many lights, so little time.

I played this on Christmas Day for some family members as they never heard of it. Classic fun.

It's 8am here in London, you've made my day J, heck you've you've made my year, and set me up for next year.
I gasped when I saw this title. I love this song but I haven't heard it since I moved away from NYC 20 years ago. 😭🎄🙏
This song cracks me up. I lived in New Haven, Connecticut which has a large Italian population and this song was played everywhere
In the old days they used to call that type of music novelty songs. Later came "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer," laughed so hard the first time I heard it. I was born in "Brook-a-lyn," really miss all the Italian food and folks.
Song from my childhood.. made me smile.
Never heard that before. Cute.
Also, thanks for keeping our spirits up. Bleak year and lonely Christmas. Nice to have a laugh.
Merry Christmas!!! That was a fun video---like you said, a fun 'earworm' to last through the day! lol.
"Christmas will always be as long as we stand heart to heart and hand in hand." (Dr. Seuss)
Thank you for bringing back memories of how much my father enjoyed this song.
All that "Snow" falling☘️💚☘️
A friend of mine, her family holds hands in a circle and dances in the road to this every Christmas
Dude, you are awesome! This Christmas stuff has me smiling in a dark holiday season man. Keep it going!
