Cleaning wax off your menorah is slightly easier than dismantling an 8-foot tall fir tree

It's the second night of Hanukkah. The fried food is still appetizing. And here's some more Hanukkah songs for you -

The Chanukah Song Part 2  Adam Sandler -




Little Drum Machine Boy  Beck -




The Ballad of Judah Maccabee  Margie Rosenthal and Ilene Safyan -




The Rocky Hora Chanukah Song   The Shlomones -




Swingin' Dreidel Kenny Ellis -




December 7, 1969 -
Another Rankin/Bass production, Frosty the Snowman, premiered on CBS-TV on this date.



Voice actress June Foray was cast for both Karen and the Teacher and had recorded vocals for both characters. However, only her recordings for the Teacher made it into the final special as another actress was called in to replace Foray's Karen, for reasons that even Foray herself to this day does not know.


The original recording of Frosty The Snowman by Gene Autry was his seasonal follow-up to his successful recording of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer in 1949.



This time he peaked at #7 in December 1950.


The Snow Man (1940)




Frosty The Snowman (1953)




Snowman's Dilemma (1960)




The Snowman (1982)



When this program first aired on PBS stations in the United States, the introduction featured a newly filmed introduction by David Bowie instead of Raymond Briggs on the grounds that the animation needed a star.


Two songs from Frozen (if you are easily susceptible to earworms - do not listen to them.)





Really, don't open them if you can help yourself.



And so it goes.
