Moments Worth Listening For

The punchy, syncopated horn section entrance on Wonderful Christmas Time that transforms the synth-pop original into a brass-rock anthem.

The smooth, late-night jazz club piano intro on What Are You Doing New Years Eve? before the full band swells.

The unexpected rhythmic drive and rock-leaning guitar solo during the bridge of Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree.
