Hey – I was just on A Corporate Time with Tom and Dan on 104.1 FM Real Radio WTKS – and we talked about some of my favorite underplayed Christmas songs – along with a few for Hanukkah. Thanks to the guys for letting me share some good music you rarely hear on the radio! Here’s my full list, including a bunch that we didn’t get to play. I’d also suggest going over to the search bar here and typing in “Christmas” for a bunch of songs that I’ve written about in the past.
Merry merry!
Just a year before Huey Lewis and the News first released music under the name we all know, five-sixths of the band put out a 1979 disco single as Huey Lewis and (the) American Express. Yes, it’s a terrible name.
Disco covers of songs from movies and TV soundtracks were a mini trend. Meco hit #1 in 1977 with “Theme from Star Wars.” At about the same time, studio musicians Wilton Place Street Band had a smaller hit (#24) with “Disco Lucy,” a cover of the “I Love Lucy” theme.
Froot Loops may be a bunch of different colors in your cereal bowl, but each little nugget is the same flavor as the next – a combo of orange, lemon, lime, apple, cherry, raspberry, and blueberry. Mixed together with corn, wheat, oats, sugar, all kinds of food coloring, and milk – Froot Loops are a little flashback to childhood fortified with vitamins and minerals.
