What is this Song?

(I'm cross-posting from the Christmas music thread...maybe y'all can help!)

I'm looking for a recording that I've heard in the mall. It's a piano arrangement of "The First Noel". Doesn't start out that way; it begins with a lovely melody, then goes into it after about two min. It's completely instrumental, and sounds like it may be something from a jazz pianist or something. Seriously, it's on EVERY mall holiday recording for EVERY store, but it's so lovely that I never tire of hearing it! I really want to find out what it is!

I once heard a song whose chorus begins with a high male voice singing either "Knowing youuuu" or "Loving youuuu" and then does this odd whooping thing. It's a fast song, probably rock. Does anyone know what it is or who might have sung it? It's driving me nuts, because without any more lyrics, I can't do a Google search.

That sounds a lot like The Darkness - "I Believe In A Thing Called Love". Could it be?

This one's been driving me nutty for ages. It's on the Turner Classic Movies Christmas ad, and it's by a 50s style doo-wop group. Maybe it was written especially for the ad, I don't know. The lyrics are something like:

Snow is falling and friends are calling,
It's the winter wonderland we knew
In a crazy kind of way,
It is in our hearts to say
A happy happy holiday to you.

(Googling that turns up absolutely nothing.)

Casino Bride, that's the song! Thank you!

This is really obscure. I am looking for a song with the lyrics "My friends all call me something something but my real name is something something." I believe it is from the early 60s. The first something something is like "Hoo doo".

Is it

Double trouble--that's what my friends all call me
(double trouble)
I said, double trouble
T-r-o-u-b-l-e

?

Mad Elf, thanks. I don't think that's it but could you hum a few bars?

I could hear the song in my head but couldn't think of the lyrics. Google turned the above link up. Apparently lots of people aren't sure what the lyrics are : ).

It's a Christmas classic called Sleigh Ride. One of my favs
