Baby, I Love Your Way/Freebird Medley: "Baby, I Love Your Way/Freebird Medley (Free Baby)" is a song by the American dance-pop band Will to Power.  The song combines elements of two previously recorded rock songs: "Baby, I Love Your Way", a #12 "Billboard" Hot 100 hit from 1976 by the British-born singer Peter Frampton; and American Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd's song "Free Bird", which hit #19 on the Hot 100 chart in 1975.  Will to Power's medley of these two songs had more of a synthesized dance beat (as opposed to the rock ballad-like nature of the two original songs).  It spent one week at #1 on the Hot 100 chart dated December 3, 1988.  It also peaked at #2 on the "Billboard" adult contemporary chart.  Additionally, in the "Freebird" section, the line "and the bird you cannot change" in the original version was changed to "and this bird will never change".

Christmas Time (Is Here Again): "Christmas Time (Is Here Again)" (Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starkey) is a Christmas song recorded by the Beatles for their 1967 fan club Christmas record.  After being slated for inclusion in the planned (but ultimately scrapped) "Sessions" compilation album in 1985, the song finally saw official re-release in 1995 on the "Free as a Bird" single (issued in conjunction with the "Anthology" series), for which it was edited from its original 6:17 to a shortened version of 3:03.  The song opens with a light-hearted tune from all four of the Beatles and occasionally cuts to a tale of the Beatles arriving at the fictional BBC house.  This part of the song was cut from the 1995 single version.  The song then closes with a Christmas greeting from all four of the Beatles.  At the end, "Auld Lang Syne" is played on the organ as Lennon reads one of his original nonsense free verse poems.
