*** Try the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKlOYWwgRo8 Martina McBride] version. Wow...

** Sticking with Christmas carols, "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" especially as done by Trans-Siberian-Orchestra, and "Do You Hear What I Hear?".

* The hymn "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" tells the story of a climactic battle between the forces of Good on earth and all the devils in Hell. Just as things are looking bad, the music reaches its final verse, where the organ kicks it into high gear as Jesus comes onto the battlefield and utterly routs Satan.

** For even more awesome, try John Rutter's arrangement, with an 80-voice choir, organ, and orchestra. The third verse is just the men singing, in a minor key, and sounds as dark as hell itself. The fourth verse builds back up to full power in triumph and joy.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4_i-6QPjZ0 "Hallelujah, Praise Jehovah"]. It's downright goosebump-inducing when there's a strong bass singer to back up the congregation singing it.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Pmj3iCDxqk "Yehei Yehei"] by The Chevra. It's just five words, "yehei shlama rabba min shemayah" (May there be abundant peace from heaven), repeated through the entire song, but DAMN if it isn't catchy! Also makes awesome dance music.
