| Description: |
"Merry Christmas, Darling" is a Christmas song by the Carpenters (music by Richard Carpenter, lyrics by Frank Pooler), and originally recorded in 1970.
The lyrics were written in 1946 by 20-year-old Frank Pooler. 20 years later in 1966, when he was choral director at California State University, two of his aspiring music students, Karen and Richard Carpenter, asked him (their favorite professor) if he had any ideas for holiday songs. According to Pooler, they had become tired of the standard holiday songs they were singing. Pooler gave them the lyrics of the song he had written from years before, and told them he did not think much of the original melody. Richard wrote a new tune for the lyrics—the tune currently used—in 15 minutes.
