AL mentioned him in her FB post, so be prepared.  I'll suffer thru "Hanukkah Song" if it's the one & only time I hear it this month. We're in the middle of those eight CWAZY nites, after all.

Not one of my stronger categories, although I do like the Natalie Merchant request (hell, Natalie Merchant in any context is good).

The wife suggested Alvin & The Chipmunks, although I admit I have no idea what this song sounds like.

I can't believe you've lived in America your whole life and have not heard it -- when you do hear it you'll realize you've heard it a hundred times, probably.

Someone requested Madonna's "Santa Baby" (hideous) and Sheryl Crow doing "Run Rudolph Run" -- didn't know she'd done that one, but if it's anything like any of her other horrid covers, then "Run!" indeed.

Technically I haven't lived in America my entire life, so I guess I'm excused.  ;D Seriously, you're probably right - it'll be played and I'll be like "Oh, THAT SONG".

Something tells me missing this set because of a toddler class won't be such a bad thing...

anything from that album is very welcome.  It's essential to any Christmas record collection.  I almost requested 'Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.'

this Leon Redbone and Dr. John Frosty take is fantastic.

And it get's added to our banjo song list!  Bonus!

oh noooooo!!!!!  Can we turn off the Festival Of Lights on just this one song?

ETA:  okay, that's a bit harsh. It's actually pretty fun, and I love hearing Who's A Jew?


ok, every time I hear this I get won over,  forgive my initial harsh reaction.  I mean

"Some people think Ebenezer Scrooge is.

Alex Bennett used to say that Jews and gays were similar because he once spent an evening watching TV with gay comedian Scott Capurro and Scott kept saying "he's gay... she's gay..." for every other actor who appeared on screen. And Alex said "change 'gay' to 'Jewish' and you're channelling my 70-year-old aunt!"

The Rudolph TV special is a classic, but let's face it:

Hermie and Yukon pulling out the Bumble's teeth is just plain wrong!

Add me to the list of those who've taken Elf to heart. But the fact that Zoey Deschanel is in it as a blonde no less--and she has a scene in the shower, appeals to other parts of my anatomy. And it also hipped me to her wonderful pipes--the girl can sing.

Funny you should mention this line. I also get a kick out of it, in no small part because Larry Fine was a cousin of my wife's grandmother. What that makes Sarah to him I have no clue. But the fact that there's Stooge blood in my family now is just the coolest.
