Title: 19 Dec 2014: it's... Festivus Friday!
Post by: RGMike 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...)

 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

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

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.

"Little Dealer Boy", Colbert & Willie Nelson.  More genius. BOS5.

It's been a Colbert Festivus Festival, appropriately.

But Cartman will probably get axed in future "classic" replays (excluding tonight's rebroadcast, of course, and this weekend's replay as well).

There is an Imperial buttload of novelty Christmas songs.  Dr. Demento used to devote two shows
to them every December.  My own collection of favorites runs for about two hours.  So while there
are certainly many evergreens, there is no need for any overlap.
