I still remember when I first saw this on The Muppet Show as a child. An amazing song and beautiful muppets with the spectacular Harry Belafonte. Seems like a perfect song to head into the new year. Enjoy!

Pretty much the only reason I watched Jay Leno back in the day was for his Headlines feature.
Hope you find this as hilarious as I did! XD

I grew up watching Hee Haw - great country music and lots of silliness & laughs.

Came up with a new, little project (like I need another one). It's all because I found out Garret Wang & Robbie McNeil (from Star Trek: Voyager) have a new podcast (The Delta Flyers) where they're watching all the episodes of Voyager & talking about them! I've already listened to the first several shows and they're wonderful! But of course, I ( Read more... )

With so many shows ending soon (shhhhh!) and my internet situation improving, I'm looking for new shows to start watching. I posted this to Twitter yesterday evening and got a lot of responses! Of course, I'd love for my LJ friends (and lurkers) to offer up their suggestions as well ( Read more... )

When I was growing up, Christmas music always meant the Ray Conniff singers, because we had 2 of their 3 Xmas albums on vinyl records (still do!). We'd play their songs over and over again. Nobody else had that same sound, beat, or beautiful harmonies. Enjoy! :D

Don't know why this song popped in my head. Maybe because mom & I started watching Xmas movies tonight.

Anyway, this is a lovely song from the old "Twas The Night Before Christmas" cartoon that I grew up watching each year as a kid. Always had the words to this memorized.
