1. I give the nod to Loggins

I'm a huge fan of Ms Streisand, but this song is not her best effort, in my opinion. Somehow it reminds me of her rendition of "Jingle Bells" ("upsot?&quot

Thanks for an interesting poll, NurseJackie!

2. Yes... now that you mention it, I see the similarities...

... with this and the double-time tempo of her rendition of Jingle Bells. Good ear!
