Fifteen Days/Songs of Christmas Music Mixtape Draft - Links to final mixes in post #1 (1 Viewer)

Bruce Dickinson said:
I grew up in a house where music was always playing.  What LP to put on during dinner was an important job to whomever had it that night.  December was always Christmas albums, some of which have had tracks drafted here already. 

My parents were also huge fans of Saturday Night Live, and always let me stay up to watch it.  I don't always catch SNL live these days, but my weekend doesn't feel complete unless I've checked in on it.

So I dedicate this selection to Mom And Dad.

Round 4.xx:  

"**** In A Box" by The Lonely Island featuring Justin Timberlake

(novelty song)

I first heard this song and saw the video while visiting my parents for the holidays.  They had gone to bed, my wife had called it a night, my 4-year-old was asleep up against me on the couch like I often was late on Saturday nights as a child.  I wanted to explode in laughter, but I didn't want to wake up the house.  It was like an old-timey cartoon where you couldn't make a sound but you put your hand on a hot plate or stepped in a bear trap.  I did my best to laugh into a pillow when I could no longer hold it in, and after the sketch was over I eased the kid down across the couch and I excused myself to the back patio where I laughed my ### off.  And then went back inside and backed up the DVR to rewatch it several times.

Maybe not a moon shot but a gapper to the wall against the shift

In my heart, it's like Ozzie Smith against Niedenfuer: totally unexpected walk-off dinger at a key moment late in the year.  
In my mind, I know it's a dribbler that might have advanced the runners.

"Ozzie Smith is a #### in a box"

How exactly are we defining novelty? I have a couple in mind that are tongue in cheek songs, but just unsure if they are weird enough.

When I started thinking about instrumentals for this draft, one song emerged in its own tier.

When I was in grade school I was forced against my will to take piano lessons.  Because of this indenture, I have a deeper appreciation for music and it is composed and played, can still read sheet music today, was able to lean guitar basics as an adult relatively quickly, and was able to teach my daughter a few basics when she wanted to learn to play keyboards.  So #### you, Mom.

I was never anything special as a piano player.  A couple songs from this soundtrack were about as advanced as I got.

Round 5.xx "Christmastime Is Here" Vince Guaraldi Trio

(Instrumental). 

The nightmares of showing me off to the grandparents and neighbors   demanding I play this every December for whomever walked through the door with two ears and a heart have subsided, and now I can just listen to it or play it purely to enjoy its brilliance.

I always listen to a Charlie Brown Christmas during the holidays. I enjoy jazz piano in general.
