Christmas Cheer at the Sweet Household

I won a 3 CD set of Christmas music in an office grab bag the other day. It's sat on the dining room table since I brought it home, waiting to be digitized. Ben got bored during dinner tonight and started quizzing me with it.

Ben: The London Philharmonic Orchestra is one of three orchestras performing on this set. Who are the other two?
Renee: The London Symphony Orchestra and...I have no idea.
B: The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Which orchestra performed track 8 on disc 3?
R: The London Philharmonic.
B: No! The Royal. Which orchestra performed tracks 2, 7, and 9-12 on disc 2?
R: The London Symphony?
B: No! You're terrible at this. The London Philharmonic. Which orchestra performed track 11 on disc 1?
R: The London Symphony.
B: Yes, but you're still wrong because you didn't phrase it in the form of a question. Okay! Which--
R: I'm not playing anymore.
B: Yes, you are. Fill in the blanks of the title to track 3: We _____ Kings.
R: ......
B: Fill in the blanks: We ______ Kings.
R: ......
B: Come on. You know this. We _____ Kings.
R. Fuck.
B: No!
R: Vote against.
B: Honey, come on. It's one word. Okay, never mind. Try this: God Rest Ye _____ Gentlemen.
R: Drunkard
B: No! And anyway, it would be drunkER not drunkARD.
R: It's Old English.
B: What--
R: Child is this.
B: No! Let me finish! What ballet is track 7 of disc 1 from, The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy?
R: Swan Lake.
B: Don't be a bitch.
R: *erupts in fit of hysterical laughter*
B: I don't know why you're laughing.
R: Because you're getting so pissed.
B: I am getting pissed! Take the quiz!
