Hey, have a freakin' Merry Christmas

Today's Christmas countdown - Those gentlemen from Bensonhurst were so moved by our themes concerning Frank and Dino that after much grappa and threatened 'kisses of death', I have be persuaded (forced at gunpoint) to have yet another Mobbed Up Christmas this year. This is not to say that any of these singers are in anyway associated with organized crime.

It's just that Frankie Cervello, Molluschi Vincenzo, Joey Finocchio, etc, 'requested' these songs.


What Will Santa Claus Say  Louis Prima -




Merry Christmas Baby   Dion -




Do You Hear What I Hear?   Bobby Vinton -




O Come All Ye Faithful   Al Martino -




Buon Natale Jimmy Roselli -



After many shots (of scotch) and plates of scungilli, baccalà alla vicentina and fried calamari, the boys want to wish everyone Buon Natale.



And so it goes.

There's none of that Naughty-Nice Stuff: EVERYONE GETS LOOT !!!

It's the Eighth night of Hanukkah.



You've probably run out of gifts at this point, wrap your family's fresh laundry as the gift that shows you've done the laundry. At this point, look up a local oil recycler - it will do better for everyone as a biofuel.


And here, I promise, is the last set of songs celebrating Hanukkah -

Hanukkah With Veronica Monica




Hanukkah in Santa Monica  Tom Lehrer -




The Holiday Armadillo  Friends -




Christmastime for the Jews -




Santa Gey Gezunderheit  The Klezmonauts -



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. 

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.


OK, Frank wasn't the only member of the Rat Pack to sing carols -

today's theme is A Dean Martin's Christmas (Dean died on Christmas day in 1995.)

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas  -




Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!  -




Blue Christmas -




Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer -




What the hell, let's have Dean and Frank sing a song for Christmas -




Ahhh, you can practically taste the Bourbon in the air.

And so it goes.

In a holiday character face-off, Judah Macabee could kick Frosty's butt

Open a window someone , it's the seventh night of Hanukkah.



That oil is a tad rancid

If you can stand it, more Hanukkah songs

Light One Candle  Peter, Paul, & Mary -




Applesauce Vs. Sour Cream  The LeeVees -




Hanukkah (Favorite Time Of The Year)  Too $hort -




Those Were The Nights (of Chanukah)  The Yeshiva Boys Choir -

Maybe I've miscounted, it is the seventh night?


Our second holiday special is in remembrance of The Chairman of the Board.

Whatever else has been said about me personally is unimportant. When I sing, I believe. I'm honest.


Winter Wonderland -




Santa Claus Is Coming to Town -




O, Little Town Of Bethlehem -




Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas -




It Came Upon A Midnight Clear -



There are things about organized religion which I resent. Christ is revered as the Prince of Peace, but more blood has been shed in his name than any other figure in history. You show me one step forward in the name of religion, and I'll show you a hundred retrogressions…I'm for decency - period. I'm for anything and everything that bodes love and consideration for my fellow man. But when lip service to some mysterious deity permits bestiality on Wednesday and absolution on Sunday - count me out.


Christmas with The Martins and The Sinatras -





And so it goes.

Your neighbors are unlikely to complain about how your menorah is blinding them senseless

It's the Sixth Night of Hanukkah

At this point you may want to skip the unnecessary calories and just drink the oil - but not too much. Mussolini used to use this as a torture for his political enemies.


Watch Me (Spin / Drey-Drey) Six13 -




Chanukah Light Ari Goldwag -




A Hanukkah Mitzvah CBS Cares   Mayim Bialik -




Memories Of A Winter's Night A Song For Hanukkah   Dave Koz -




Hanukkah Blessings  Barenaked Ladies -



You should begin thinking about where you are going to store your Menorah? (I don't mean to insinuate that you aren't normally observant. Perhaps you proudly display your heirloom menorah in your living room. I can't be everywhere.)


Here's my second guest programmer - Olivia's favorite Christmas jingles (I had to chase her around the house to get her to give me this list.)

A Marshmallow World  Johnny Mathis -




Winter Wonderland  Darlene Love -




Feliz Navidad   Jose Feliciano -




Here Comes Santa Claus  Gene Autry -




Rockin' around the Christmas Tree   Brenda Lee -





And so it goes

No brutal let-down when you discover that Santa Claus isn't real

It's the Fifth Night of Hanukkah



Impress your friends: The fifth night of Hanukkah is called 'the darkest night', not because it falls on one of the last days of the Hebrew month of Kislev (meaning there is no moon), but because it is the only night of Hanukkah that can NEVER fall on Shabbat

A One Direction Hanukkah -




Sesame Street Sevivon -




Black People Celebrate Hanukkah 'For the First Time' -




Dreidel Bird   The Macaroons -
