Macy's Christmas

[rach_howard]

Hi all,
I need help with a Target commercial song that is not Earth Wind & Fire. This is a Christmas song with a woman singing. Part of the lyrics are, (It's Christmas Time Again.) Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? I'm getting really frustrated because Target has three commercials listed on their website and the one I'm looking for isn't there!! Please help if you can.

Thanks in advance,
~Rach

I too had been desperate to find out the name of the song and artist. For some reason (must have been all the red in the commercial) I too thought it was a Target commercial. Turns out it's Macy's.

Over the weekend I went to Virgin Mega Store in search of the song - I even hummed it to various sales people in the hopes that someone would know the song.

No such luck.

I walked into my bedroom just as the commercial was playing, caught the lyrics, googled them and came up with the answer:

Artist/Band: Womack Lee Ann
Lyrics for Song: The Man With The Bag
Lyrics for Album: Season For Romance

Old Mr. Kringle is soon gonna jingle
The bells that’ll tingle all your troubles away
Everybody’s waiting for the man with the bag
‘Cause Christmas is coming again

He’s got a sleigh full, it’s not gonna stay full
Stuff that he’s dropping every stop of the way
Everybody’s waiting for the man with the bag
‘Cause Christmas is coming again

He’ll be here
With the answer to the prayers
That you made through the year
You’ll get yours
If you’ve done everything you should extra special good
He’ll make this December the one you’ll remember
The best and the merriest you ever did have
Everybody’s waiting for the man with the bag
‘Cause Christmas is coming again

Old Mr. Kringle is soon gonna jingle
All the bells that’ll tingle all your troubles away
Everybody’s waiting for the man with the bag
‘Cause Christmas is here again

He’s got a sleigh full, and it’s not gonna stay full
Got stuff that he’s dropping every stop of the way
Everybody’s waiting for the man with the bag
‘Cause Christmas is here again

He’ll be here
With the answer to the prayers
That you made through the year
You’ll get yours
If you’ve done everything you should extra special good
He’ll make this December the one you’ll remember
The best and the merriest you ever did have
Everybody’s waiting, they’re all congregating
Waiting for the man with the bag

Better watch out now!

Thank you so much Jenny!! I guess I need to pay more attention to the commercials from now on and at least get the right company! Thanks again for the information.
