"Jingle Bell Rock" is an
American popular 
Christmas
song
 first released by Bobby
Helms
 in 1957 (after it was recorded in October 1957). It has
received frequent airplay in the United States during every 
Christmas season since then. "Jingle Bell Rock" was
composed by Joseph Carleton Beal (1900–1967) and James Ross Boothe (1917–1976).
Beal was a 
Massachusetts-born public
relations
 professional and longtime resident of South Ocean
Avenue in 
Atlantic City, New Jersey, and Boothe was an American writer in the advertising business.






Helms
recordings

"Jingle
Bell Rock" has been performed by many, but Helms' version is the best
known. The song's title and some of its lyrics are an extension of the old
Christmas standard, "Jingle Bells".
It makes brief references to other popular songs of the 1950s, such as "Rock Around the Clock",
and mentions going to a "Jingle hop". An electric guitar played by Hank Garland can be heard playing the
first notes of the chorus of "Jingle Bells". Backup singers were
the Anita Kerr Quartet.
Helms'
original version, on Decca 9-30513
from October 1957, was re-recorded by him on Kapp K-719 in 1965, and yet again in 1967
on Little Darlin' LD-0038. In 1970, Helms recorded an entire album titled Jingle
Bell Rock
 on Certron C-7013, releasing the title track on Certron
C-10021, with a picture sleeve. He again recorded the song for Gusto Records,
it was subsequently released on their "Power Pak" label. In yet
another re-recording, Helms released a version on Ashley AS-4200 (year
unknown). In 1983, Helms released his last recording of "Jingle Bell
Rock" on Black Rose 82713.

Chart and sales performance

Helms'
original version charted at No. 13 on Billboard's
Most Played C&W by Jockeys chart, a predecessor to the Hot Country Songs chart. It also crossed
to the pop charts, peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard Best
Sellers in Stores chart, and at No. 11 on Cashbox magazine's
Top 60 on the week ending January 11, 1958.
After
the song was featured on the soundtrack album to the 1996 film Jingle All the Way,
the original Bobby Helms version returned to the Billboard country
singles charts in late 1996 and early 1997, reaching a peak of No. 60.
The
Helms version entered the Billboard Hot
100
 chart on the week ending December 24, 2016, eventually
reaching a peak of No. 29 two weeks later.
As
of November 25, 2016, total sales of the digital track of Helms' original Decca
recording stand at 780,000 downloads according to Nielsen SoundScan, placing it ninth on the
list of all-time best-selling Christmas/holiday digital singles in
SoundScan history.

Jingle Bell Rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle
bell rock

Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring

Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun

Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle
bell rock

Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time

Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square

In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right
time

To rock the night away

Jingle bell time is a swell time

To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your
feet

Jingle around the clock

Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle
bell rock

Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time

Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square

In the frosty air
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle
bell rock

Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time

Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun

Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle
bell rock

Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time

Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square

In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right
time

To rock the night away (rock the night away)

Jingle bell time is a swell time

To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling
feet

That's the jingle bell

That's the jingle bell

That's the jingle bell (rock)
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle
bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle
bell rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Woah
