If it's songs *by* kids, I hope we get Jordy's "D'ur D'ur Etre Un Bebe."

I'd vote for the Mill Valley song by Miss Whats-her-name's class. And vote strongy AGAINST Playground In My Mind.

Wow, here's an artist and song bustout if there ever was one: Satchmo, Is That You, Santa Claus?

Only version of this I know is Buster Poindexter.

I'm really not in the mood for Christmas songs today, though.

heard an amusing parody of Bruce's "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" on Xmas in Frisko / Soma FM yesterday --  it's by Kevin and Bean called "Christmas Blues (Are Getting Me Down)"

so does this preclude a "10@10 Xmas card"?  Or maybe AL is just so jolly she'll do multiple holiday sets.

I posted the "South Park" version of "Dreidel" on FB today; would love to hear that.

Rudolph! BOS2 Burl Ives!

"10 at 10 For Tots?"
Not sure what this means either, but I don't have high hopes for this set...

And if song #1 is any indication...I've traditionally not been a fan of Bruce but in recent years I've come to appreciate quite a few songs by him (Tunnel of Love, Dancing in the Dark, Streets of Philadelphia, Human Touch, Radio Nowhere, Girls in their Summer Clothes.)  Santa Claus is Coming to town is NOT one of them.

I'm guessing this is primarily tied to the Concert for Kids promo tomorrow, which I am guessing is stiffing at the box office, as they are still flogging the hell out of it a day before showtime. Didn't they usually sell out well in advance in past years (assuming they booked someone of some reknown, i.e. the Pretenders)?

Post by: Tinka Cat on December 11, 2009, 10:22:43 AM
remember this classic alt take of Rudolph??

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer "reindeer"
Had a very shiny nose "like a light bulb"
And if you ever saw it "saw it"
You would even say it glowed "like a light bulb"
All of the other reindeer "reindeer"
Used to laugh and call him names "like Pinocchio!"
They never let poor Rudolph "Rudolph"
Join in any reindeer games "like Monoploy"
Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say "HO! HO! HO!"
"Rudolph, with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him "loved him"
And they shouted out with glee "like toothpaste"
"Rudolph the red nosed reindeer "reindeer"
You'll go down in history" "like Columbus!"
Title: Re: 11 Dec 2009: Kid songs

BOS to Dave Edmunds' take on Run Rudolph Run, spinnin' like a sabre jet.

Considering who wrote this song, hearing lyrics about a doll that can "eat, sleep, drink and wet" is kind of creepy.

We did that, except "football" instead of "Monopoly," and "Whoopie!" instead of "like toothpaste" (though I like yours better).

you mean she corrected herself yesterday? I missed it if she did.

She actually *did* correct herself after today's replay.  She said something like "... and although he often gets confused with Boris karloff -- even by those us her at KFOG! -- that was Thurl Ravenscroft with tune number ten, You're a Mean One Mister Grinch."

So kudos on that self-correction.  -- I'm still waiting for her correx on "expresso," though  ;)

I was impressed that she actually recorded a new close with the correction that they inserted for the replay last nite and today.  Something Dave rarely bothered to do (tho' of course he was out the door after 10@10 whereas AL has to stick around).
