While listening to Rick Braun's version of "Deck The Halls," retitled "Deck Those Halls," my brother exclaimed, "Paul Shaffer and The World's Most Dangerous Band!" He's right that the arrangement of Braun's 2024 release brings to mind the "Late Night (and Late Show) With David Letterman" themes.
I also think that Braun's catchy big band-style instrumental sounds like the band Chicago, with the horn section displayed prominently.
In both cases, the tune swings.
