    Yes, all of these songs give you that sing a long feeling. I don't know if you remember but the Christmas cartoon Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is supposedly narrated by a snowman the voice of that snowman is Burl Ives and I believe he also sings some songs there too. Just an interesting fact.
