I was happy to learn that Sammy the Hanukkah Lobster was featured on Much More Music’s Listed program over the holidays! Sure it was as a horrible holiday tune but we were among some good company (and some truly horrible company as well). Regardless, I’m proud to have our work featured alongside Ren and Stimpy, Max Headroom and Gary Coleman.
Here’s the full list:
1. White Christmas – Jingle Cats
2. Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer – Dr. Elmo
3. Reggae Christmas – Bryan Adams and Pee Wee Herman
4. I Want to Rock You Hard This Christmas – The Dan Band
5. Fleck the Halls – Ren and Stimpy
6. Sammy the Hanukkah Lobster – H.B. Steinberg
7. Christmas Time (Don’t Let the Bells End) – The Darkness
8. Jingle Bell Rock – Hall and Oates
9. Merry Christmas Happy Holidays – NSYNC and Gary Coleman
10. Please Come Home For Christmas – Jon Bon Jovi
11. O’ Come All Ye Faithful – Twisted Sister
12. I Hate Christmas – George Patience
13. Don’t Shoot Me Santa – The Killers
14. Zat You Santa Clause? – Buster Poindexter
15. The First Noel – The Crash Test Dummies
16. Merry Christmas Santa Clause – Max Headroom
17. Silent Night – Winger
18. Christmas Magic – Ali Lohan
19. Make Love to Christmas – Ivan Hrvastska
20. Little Drummer Boy – Ru Paul
I was a bit dismayed to hear the female commentator say that Sammy was neither catchy nor fun to watch but after viewing the entire program I found that this was her constant refrain along with “It’s not Christmassy at all!”
Other than Sammy, my personal favorite would have to be Make Love To Chistmas although I’ve always had a soft spot for Max Headroom’s Merry Christmas Santa Clause.
I’m astounded that after 4 years Sammy finally got his due. If you’ve never seen the Sammy the Hanukkah Lobster video it’s available for viewing here.
