Worth repeating. :approve:

We had an earlier thread on it, but it fell off the page.

I wonder how long it took them to set it up?
 
Oh, but this one I could actually view! The other versions were all done with windows media player, which I refuse to install.

Did you see part two as well? Whoever set that display up definitely had WAY too much time on their hands!

Oh, I didn't know there was already something on this. I don't mind if you want to merge it to that thread.

Yep, there were three threads already merged into one. You've obviously been too busy focusing on the Disney thread to notice the others in here. :smile:

Well, I didn't think there was anything else beyond the Disney thread in here.

It is the only thread that's on-topic in here. I've begun wondering which would win out if we merged it with the TKC thread?

I haven't Evo, because... er... how shall I put this? I thought it was a sexual act!

back on topic. do you think that guy has other songs or does he play that same 3 minute loop over and over and over and over and over?

There was a part 2 with another song. It's supposed to be Jingle Bells by Barbra Streisand, but it sounds like the Chipmunks singing it to me! :smile:

Even if I had to listen to that song only once a night, I think I'd have to choke the living daylights out of any neighbor who subjected me to it.

I hear you. That's horrible. (The 2nd one, I mean.) Is it playing at the right speed?

Yeah, that's the right speed. I'm not a Streisand fan either.

her rendition of j-j-j-jingle bells proves she's J-J-J-Jewish.

Oddly two of the most famous contemporary Christmas songs were written by Jews. :biggrin:

Irving Berlin wrote "White Christmas"

Mel Torme wrote "The Christmas Song", you know "chestnuts roasting on an open fire".

and who could forget "All I want for Christmas is the Gaza Strip"

DEERFIELD TWP. – Just two days after his computerized Christmas light display gained national media attention, Carson Williams had to shut it down last night because of traffic problems.

So many cars have been coming to his house to see the display it has become a safety concern, he said. Last night a car accident occurred in the midst of the traffic jam caused by the display and authorities were unable to get to the scene, he said.

“I’ve compromised the safety of the people who live in our neighborhood,” he said. “So we’ve shut the show down indefinitely.”

This is horrible. Somehow, this clip has struck some previously repressed sick obsession in me. I can't help but play this clip 'just one more time' every so often throughout the day.

I keep thinking "She must die of embarrassment every time she hears herself singing that song", but then I remember it's Barbara Streisand.

Where's Tanya Harding when you need her?
