19 Dec 2014: it's... Festivus Friday!
« on: December 18, 2014, 08:52:47 PM »
Another Xmas set, accenting the wacky, silly, irreverent stuff. 

AL did this during her first tenure: Kid's Xmas, Festivus Friday and then the Foghead Xmas card.  Then DC came in and said "one holiday set is plenty."  Hope this isn't another rerun from 2009 or '10.  :)

Topically speaking, it looks like we'll get Stephen Colbert.

The 2010 version, for comparison. (back when 10@10 went to eleven, and sometimes twelve...)

Quote
12/17/10- Festivus Friday!! A Slightly Different Take!
(TV: Seinfeld-Festivus-airing of the grievances)
 1.  The Kinks - Father Christmas
(Movie: Bad Santa)
 2.  The Sonics - Don't Believe In Christmas
(TV: Seinfeld: Festivus)
 4.  The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping (BOS-Tie!)
(Movie: Scrooged)
 5.  Brian Setzer Orchestra - Boogie Woogie Santa Claus
(TV: Laugh In- only 34,235 commercials 'til Christmas)
 6.  Stephen Colbert - Another Christmas song (BOS-Tie!)
 7.  Bobby Helms - Jingle Bell Rock
 8.  KT Tunstall - Mele Kalikimaka
 9.  Dar Williams - The Christians & The Pagans
(Movie: Elf)
10. Barenaked Ladies - Elf's Lament
(Look-extra presents!)
Willie Nelson/Stephen Colbert - Little Dealer Boy
Movie: Bad Santa)
Cheech & Chong - Santa Claus & His Old Lady

here's hoping we avoid that KT Tunstall "Mele Kelikemaka"...

Festivus with Jerry Stiller --> Kinks "Father Xmas". A classic track worthy of the designation.

Scrooged --> Waitresses "Xmas Wrapping". Another classic, but fairly LN for me.

Jerry Stiller on the birth of Festivus--> Colbert "Another Xmas Song" uber-BOS2. Brilliant, really.  "please help the Colbert children eat"

Missed the first couple of songs/clips, but comparing this with the Festivus set of a couple years ago, there seems to be a fair bit of overlap, at least in the songs. However, with Christmas sets, it's tough to complain too loudly about what evolved to be Christmas evergreens.

ETA: However, I'll be very surprised if this set goes past 10, recalling that 12 song classic that got edited down to 10 songs for its replay a couple weeks ago.
