I always enjoyed the music in the original version of the movie Die Hard.

I always thought the Christmas song at the beginning of Die Hard with the limo driver, Argyle was a cool modern song for Christmas.

Here is a short video clip of what I am talking about – Argyle don’t you have any real Christmas music? :

It has bothered me for 10-20 years that the song is got to be somewhere out there without being chopped off by the Die Hard movie director in full length.

Well I found the song and it turns out to be a movie clip of the guys singing it and it is well done in the spirit of Christmas – very nice for somewhat modern times of 1987:

The movie also ends with another Christmas song that I have been hunting around for years that I enjoy Very Much even though it is barely a minute in length:

Of course the final song in Die Hard has nothing to do with Christmas – Beethoven’s 9th – Ode to Joy – but I always enjoyed this version:

Well, there's a sig I haven't seen in awhile. How you doin' buddy?

I have a couple different versions of Beethoven's 9th.

The version of 'Let It Snow' was recorded in 1946 by Vaugn Monroe.

There are also good versions on YouTube by Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.

Glad I could help, but I didn't really know it. I just googled 'Die Hard Soundtrack'.

It shows he's getting on a bit if his 'son' is also part of the action but it will hopefully be as good as those prvious, especially if Patrick Stewart is in the film.

Man does this make real mad at me for being so dumb not to include this.

Damn it! I forgot to include this one in the original post - #1 story of 2011 as far as I am concerned:

But I will see your Osama and raise you two Achmed's.

I'll double down on Osama if it comes down to it:

A warning - there is a lot of foul language by the singer - but considering the final outcome it seems o.k. for the year 2011 as a final departure to this dirt bag.
