Today's Thing-a-Day is another new MisterSeth Song!
From youtube:
A song I wrote today! It was inspired by all of the Thomas the Tank Engine books the toddlers I teach want me to read!
Trains and Helicopters! (x 3) Happen to be best friends!
Trains and Helicopters! (x 3) Happen to be best friends!
Planes and City Buses! (x 3) Are distantly related cousins!
Planes and City Buses! (x 3) Are distantly related cousins.
And when they all get together for a family reunion it's a giant traffic jam!
Trains and Helicopters! (x 3) Just so happen to be the best of friends! Tomorrow is the last Day of my Year of Thing-a-Day Things! (I'll probably make and upload it tonight so it's there tomorrow when I'm out and away from things I can make Things with).
Today's Thing-a-Day is a MisterSeth song called "The Colors of the Vegetables!"
From youtube:
This is a song that was inspired by the book "Red Pepper Yellow Squash" from Scholastic Books! You can buy it here: http://store.scholastic.com/Books/Boa... The order of the colors in the song came from the book too! Lyrics: Red Purple Yellow Green White Brown Orange! (x 3) These are the colors of the vegetables! Black and Blue (x 3) are not included. Red Purple Yellow Green White Brown Orange! (x 3) These are the colors of the vegetables! Pink and Grey (Gray) (x 3) are not included. Red Purple Yellow Green White Brown Orange! (x 3) These are the colors of the vegetables! oh Red Purple Yellow Green White Brown Orange! (x 3) These are the colors of the vegetables!
Today's Thing-a-Day Thing is a list of 10 Novelty Christmas Songs!
I've done nonreligious and religious, now I wanna do the silly ones that we like because they are silly!
1. Christmas At Ground Zero! - Weird Al Yankovic
also this one:
I love Weird Al!
2. Carols of the Bells - Brian Posehn
I just saw this one the other day! It's just awful and I love it!
3. 12 Days of Christmas - Bob and Doug McKenzie
I remember kids in my elementary school classes laughing like crazy as we listened to this tape. I didn't like it very much at the time, but now I think it's wonderful.
4. I Wish It Was Christmas Today - the SNL guys!
It's so dumb it became an instant classic.
5. It's Christmas in Heaven - Monty Python!
God I love Monty Python!
6. Happy Holidays You Bastard - Blink 182/Ben Folds!
This one has ample naughty language!
I loved Blink 182 when they were making albums and look forward to the new one with Matt Skiba!
Ben Folds is one of the musicians that constantly vies for the top spot in my favorites..
7. Santa Clause is Watchin You - Ray Stevens
Dumb and fun. Perfect for this list.
8. Christmas Will Be Soon - Lemon Demon (Neil Cicierega)
The whole I AM BECOME CHRISTMAS album is great. You should go listen to the whole thing!
9. Skank For Christmas - Reel Big Fish
RBF's Christmas Album is also excellent.
Reel Big Fish is my favorite band.
10. Santa Baby! - Eartha Kitt
My favorite version of the song!
It's so good it inspired me to make a parody.
That's it!
All that's left is a list of all the Christmas songs I've written/recorded!
We were eating breakfast when I noticed the shapes in the middle of the drawing (what looked to me like a mouth, nose, eyes, and mop of hair) and added the round head, ears (which ended up making it look like a character from Arthur) and a body.
After I took the pictures I wiped it away before having to talk to a waitress about it.
Today's Thing-a-Day is a bunch of my favorite Christmas Songs!
I will try to get 10 Christmas Songs that aren't specifically religious. We'll see if I can find that many of them on youtube.
1. Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas is You
This might be my favorite Christmas song. It's up there, anyway.
I've loved almost every version I've heard. I've only heard one so far that I did not like. I heard it in the restroom at the mall, and I don't know who it was by.
2. Vince Guaraldi Trio - Christmas Time is Here
Mariah sings my favorite Christmas song with vocals. Vince played my favorite instrumental Christmas song. So sad I had to cover the vocal version.
3. The Drifters - White Christmas
I love this song. It's almost my favorite. It's funny and well-sung at the same time.
It was in Home Alone.
4. Pep Squad - Feliz Navidad
I don't like this song for the talking at the beginning. It borders on racism, but I love the trumpet and the shouting.
5. Lost Dogs - The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)
I do love the original, but the harmonies on this are lovely.
The talking in between singing parts is hokey and kind of annoying, but I love their harmonies.
6. Michael Buble - Santa Claus is Coming to Town
I love the jazzy little "You better watch out..." part near the end.
7. Zooey Deschanel and Leon Redbone - Baby It's Cold Outside
I like most versions of this song. This is my favorite.
8. Jonathan Coulton - Christmas is Interesting
I agree.
This is yet another song JoCo wrote that I wish I had written.
9. NewSong - The Christmas Shoes
JUST KIDDING!
I don't like that song at all.
9. The California Raisins - Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
I love all of the Claymation Christmas Special.
This is the Temptations version of the song. I think directly their version, but it sounds a bit retooled to me. There is a different higher tenor part than the classic Temptations version I've heard.
I don't feel like looking it up. I'm just going by memory.
10. Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmas Time
I hear that people hate this song. I don't understand why.
I love it!
The lyrics paint a comfy Christmas memory picture for me.
I love the idea of someone saying, "How's your holiday season going?"
and I reply, "Oh, I'm simply having a wonderful Christmas time!"
I like that idea a lot.;
That's 10!
I didn't think I'd be able to think of or find that many.
I could probably find more of my favorite non-religious Christmas songs, but 10 is a good number.
Later in the Christmas season I'll probably do a list of 10 of my favorite religious Christmas songs.
I gotta make something to fill out the rest of the year of Thing-a-Day things...
