Can anyone tell me the names of these two songs?

Ok, the first one, most people should know (except for me that is). The Christmas song that starts off with "Chess nuts roasting on an open fire, Jack frost nipping at my nose." (The original version, and who sang it)

And secondly, the song that you hear a lot in cheerleading mix's that has this phrase in it, "Bang, bang, chu chu train, let me so you do that thang."


Thanks for the help!

I think Nat King Cole sang that Christmas song. I also think it was called "The Christmas Song".

The second one, no idea.

Cheerleading mixes? What are those?

Anyways, I don't think that particular cheer has a name. If it's the one I'm thinking of, it usually goes like:

Bang, bang, choo-choo train!
Come on, [insert school/team name], do your thang!
Get it, get it, get it, get it!
Got it, got it, got it, got it!
UH! [insert school/team name]’s on a roll!
[and then you clap in a 1, 2, 1-2-3 pattern]

Well, I guess you could call it Bang Bang Choo-Choo Train...

A cheerleading mix..Like the song that Cheerleaders dance to. I know it is a real song, I have heard it before. It goes, "Bang bang chu chu train, let me see you do yo' thang'" I will get a clip of it from a mix if I can find one.

Well then it's most likely called "Bang Bang Choo Choo Train". But, I'm pretty sure it was originally a cheer so there are going to be any number of variations with different words and it may not necessarily have an official "name". But why not ask some cheerleaders about it? It's a well-known one.
