      i posted this in the blog section.... i think... but figured this may be a better place for all your input. I need songs with either Bells in the title or Bells in the song. I am doing a 4 hour radio slot with a Bell theme on Xmas. Or at least that is what I would like to do if I can gather enough songs. I'll even give you a- as requested by- on the air too! So for example of bells in a song, there are bells in Godspeed You Black Emperor- Moya. Throw em at me.... and if you HAVE the song, even the more helpful. The record library there is good... but sometimes hard to find certain songs.

      Thanks everyone for your help ahead of time!

      These are great and thanks to everyone for attaching MP3's! Super helpful as finding some of these songs aren't the easiest. Loved that last one from the Dominoes- The Bells. Very nice! I am really appreciating all your help. Keep em coming. Avoiding all X mas songs if possible!

      I believe the Mummie's version of 'White Caps' has a buoy bell type sound at the begining.

      Don't know what kinda stuff you play but this is a list of some decent bell related songs off the top of my head... Theirs loads of old doo wop songs that go on about bells but most are a bit boring.

      Richard and the Young Lions - you can make it
      Great bells at the begining of this...
      Echoes - Ding Dong
      Good Doo-wop
      Carter Family - Evening Bells are Ringing
      Nice country song...
      Sonics - Village Idiot
      Great funny as hell, lots of bell!
      Jerry Mcain - Bell in my heart
      (Excello Demos) Great song with Jerry ringing a cow bell all the
      way thru it that they stole from a cow on the way to the studio!!!
      Nicky and the Nobles - School Bells
      Good Rythmn and blues with a kid singer
      Four Blades - Church bells may ring
      More Doo wop
      Cadets - Ring Chimes
      More Doo wop with bongos
      Del Vikings - Whispering Bells/I hear Bells
      More Doo wop
      Terry Corin - My ding dong heart
      Good Girly band doo wop
      The Lurch - Lurch
      Addams family spin off song... Its got a bell at the begining i beleive
      Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Bell Bottoms
      Would this be cheatin?
      John Garts - Sleigh Ride
      Organ version that sorta sounds like the music from Dawn of the Dead
      if its was set at christmas
      The Tokens - Hear the Bells
      Weird kinda "Lion sleeps tonite thing with a Country breakdown"
      Bill Carlisle - Bell Clappin Mama
      Great country/rockabilly with quite viscous undertones of violence!
      Dave BArtholomew - My ding a ling
      Original and best version of this song or you could go with Chuck berrys version.
      Cellos - Rang Tang Ding Dong (I am the Japanese Sandman)
      No bells but they do say Ding Dong... which is the noise a bell makes
      Ventures - Sleigh Ride
