Holiday tunes

I'm not against holiday music, but I always feel like the holiday music hits radio stations too early. Nonetheless, I have a few favourites that I will share with you today. The Simple Plan song should probably be considered a teeny bit embarrassing, but since I don't believe there's such a thing as a "guilty" pleasure, I regret nothing!

Who doesn't want a lifetime supply of Skittles and Slurpees and Eskimo Pies?



Weird Al is always extra special! Not appropriate for small children. LOL



You know it's Christmastime when "Dr. Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas" takes up residence on the TV.



But my absolute favourite has to be from "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer". I always wanted a Charlie-in-the-Box. And what's wrong with a cowboy that rides an ostrich?



What are your favourite holiday songs?

The awesomeness of YouTube

The other day, when I should have been doing homework, but found myself unable to concentrate and looking for a distraction, I took a trip to YouTube, that wonderful home for music videos of yesteryear. It started as a search for my favourite 80s videos, and then veered into more Golden Oldies territory (yes, I listen to those, too).

Here's a sampling of what I found. :D

I wish I'd been here:



Look at that hair!



Probably the best part of YouTube is it's ability to preserve history:



Now go forth, and watch some vintage clips on YouTube!
