I was going to do a poll for the best stop-motion animated Christmas special but didn’t have time.
Best stop motion animated Christmas special? I suppose it’s Rudolph, but I like the other one too.
I’m just sad that I don’t have any of that bad Christmas music anymore. That was a hoot.
Did anyone see the Christmas episode of Community? That’s my favorite stop motion animated Christmas show now.
All those discussions of bad Christmas music remind me of a conversation I had with our kids while making dinner last night. Is there any worse kids’ song than “I’m Gettin’ Nuttin’ for Christmas?”
No, that would be the absolute worst. Followed closely by Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer.
There was one my business partner was telling me about that I can’t find. He says the Seattle radio station he listens to plays it all the time. “I Know It’s Christmas When I’m Drunk and Plastered” or something like that.
The podcast/radio show Sound Opinions does a show every year on obscure and odd Christmas songs. The songs can be downloaded for free here. My favorite is the old-time country song “Turn Me On and I Light Up Just Like a Christmas Tree” (Side A at 16:30).
I thought the mouths/lips looked weird on the Community stop animation episode. I think maybe it was cuz they made the characters mouth words correctly and in the old stop animated specials they didn’t. So the mouths were moving way too much. But even when they weren’t talking the lips just creeped me out.
It was a great episode though.
