Kris Kringle! No! Do not give him coal!

I record something for Christmas every year. This was probably the most ambitious, from 2003. From the imaginary album A Silent Night At The Opera. Vocals: Scott Adler, David Bender, Lisa Gallien, David Taylor (lead). Guitar: David Hearst. Bass: Craig McFarland. Piano: Chris Now. Drums: Steve Rosenthal. Spot vocals, recorder, sleigh bells: Tim Walters. Lyrics by Steve and Tim.

This is excellent -- aside from the impressive production quality, the vocal layering works really well. Queen would be proud.

Is this meta enough for you?:

I was laughing and appreciating this so much I just washed out of the poker tournament I was playing in (entry into which was motivated by another metafilter thread just posted). Another 10 cents down the tubes".

Great job on the song!

Quality!

And if this doesn't deserve a sidebar appearance, I guess I just don't understand the sidebar then.

This is so good, I think my car's airbag just blew out in front of a security camera during the break-down.

WOW... The kids love it too - though I had to introduce them to Queen and the original so they understood how amazing this is!

This is probably better than even the original. It means so much more to me. Rock on!
