I finally had enough time to finish up a sequence that I have been wanting to do, and I added it to the show tonight: an edited version of August Burns Red’s ‘Carol of the Bells.’ This addition gives me 17 total tracks, including 10 songs and 7 pop culture bits. Songs include:
Louis Armstrong- ‘Cool Yule’ and ‘Zat You, Santa Claus?’
Harry Connick, Jr- ‘Rudolph’
Jeff Scheetz- ‘Sleigh Ride’ (edited)
Vince Guaraldi- ‘Skating’
TSO- ‘O Come All Ye Faithful / O Holy Night’ and ‘The First Noel’
Bing Crosby- ‘Let it Snow’
Muppets- ‘Mahna Mahna’
The pop culture bits include snippets from several Christmas movies, including:
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Christmas Story
Christmas Vacation
Miracle on 34th St
It’s a Wonderful Life
A Charlie Brown Christmas
The Muppet’s Christmas Carol
All in all, a decent variety of music, and some fun one-liners to break it all up. It makes for about a 25 minute show, and you get variety even if you only stay for two or three sequences.
