And here, I promise, is the last set of songs celebrating Hanukkah -
Hanukkah With Veronica Monica -
Hanukkah in Santa Monica GMCLA -
Oy To the World The Klezmonauts -
In The Market For A Miracle A Christmas Story -
Hanukkah Trip Tomer Aaron ft. Yaki-E -
Lighting the Hanukkah Menorah the Hard Way at Technion
Hey, somebody has to clean up all of that wax on the break front. And somebody's got to call the guys who pick up used cooking oil for bio-fuel.
Olden times and ancient rhymes....
A Charlie Brown Christmas is the first animated television special based on the popular newspaper comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz, and also the first Christmas special for the franchise. Acme is proud to ask you to join us in watching the perennial showing of this depressing little special.
Aluminum Christmas trees were marketed beginning in 1958 and enjoyed fairly strong sales by eliminating pesky needles and tree sap. But the annual airings of A Charlie Brown Christmas swayed public thinking: In the special, Charlie Brown refuses to get a fake tree. Viewers began to do the same, and the product was virtually phased out by 1969. The leftovers are now collector’s items.
A mini doc about A Charlie Brown Christmas -
The original broadcast included some brief animated sections which included the logo of Coca-Cola, the show's original sponsor. These have been edited out of subsequent broadcasts and the video release. Right after the opening title, Linus crashed into a sign advertising Coca-Cola after being tossed by Snoopy. (Look at current versions and you'll notice that we never see where Linus lands!) The closing carol originally included the complete verse (instead of fading out) with a final on-screen "Merry Christmas from your local bottler of Coca-Cola" right after the United Feature Syndicate credit at the end.
A Charlie Brown Christmas Vince Guaraldi Trio -
Producer Lee Mendelson wrote the lyrics for Vince Guaraldi's Christmas Time is Here music, and his son Glenn, along with his then sixth-grade class, sang the vocals.
HUMBLE. Charlie Brown Christmas Dance
In honor of our depressed little pal: Let's all get in the mood and have a depressing Christmas -
Did I Make You Cry On Christmas Day? (Well You Deserved It!) Sufjan Stevens -
On Sufjan Stevens’s five disc Christmas album includes songs ranging from true traditional classics to original tunes to a fun ditty called Come on! Let’s Boogie to the Elf Dance! is this song about a dysfunctional relationship on Christmas Day. We all deserve it.
Another Lonely Christmas Prince -
Even though it has "Christmas" in its title, Another Lonely Christmas is as much about Christmas as Led Zeppelin's Black Dog is about dark-coated canines or Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit is about deodorant.
Christmas Just Ain't Christmas Without The One You Love O'Jays -
It is the perfect song for the Christmas love-struck.
River Joni Michell -
Joni Mitchell probably didn't realise that River would become one of her most famous and covered songs. If she had, she might have put it out as a Christmas single, rather than including it near the end of an album - 1971's excellent Blue - released in the summer.
The.Junky's Christmas William S Burroughs -
This Christmas story will be part of ACME's annual viewing along with A Charlie Brown Christmas from now on.
And what could be the saddest Christmas song written:
The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot Nat King Cole -
There's no happy ending, either - Santa never comes for the lad - reminding us to look out for those less fortunate at Christmas time. You may daub your eyes now, you just have a little dust in them. I know you are not crying.
