Thanksgiving 2014 Promo for "The DJBC Happy Hour" (November 24, 2014)

Tonight, Holiday Songs covered by Artists other than the ones that made them famous, including:
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Mambo" - Billy May
"Joy to the World" - The Supremes
"White Christmas" - Glee (cover version of the Penguins, NOT Bing Crosby, or a Cover OF a Cover)
"Jingle Bell Rock" - Hall and Oates
"Caroling, Caroling" - Fred Waring and His Pennsylvanians
"You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" - Glee
"Little Saint Nick" - She and Him
"Someday at Christmas" - Stevie Wonder
"The Bell That Couldn't Jingle" - Burt Bacharach
"Toyland" - Perry Como
"Here Comes Santa Claus" - Doris Day
"Baby, It's Cold Outside" - Dean Martin & Martina McBride (courtesy of 21st Century Technology)
"Jingle Bells" - Barbra Streisand
"The Christmas Song" - Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass

Tonight, on The DJBC Happy Hour Holiday Classic, it's a Christmas Roadtrip, with Holiday Songs from around the world, and about other places, both real and imagined, from "Christmas in Los Angeles" to "Christmas in Killarney", to "Christmas in Hollis", to "O Christmas Tree" in its traditional German.

Tonight on the show, Thanksgiving (with the Macy's Parade sketch at the beginning), and the Ohio State-Michigan game. The # 3-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes (11-0) have won 23 straight under Head Coach Urban Meyer. Michigan (7-4), which had high hopes early in the season, is free-falling faster than the temperatures, and needs a win over Ohio, otherwise there is a high chance there will be a new Wolverine Head Football Coach in 2014.

Weekend events mentioned include the Holiday Lights Parade in Gahanna, Village Lights in German Village, Holiday Hop in the Short North, the Ohio Statehouse Christmas Tree lighting, the Christmas Corner lighting in the Discovery District, and Mistletoe Market in Grove City.

Also, a look back on the 50th anniversary of the John F. Kennedy assassination, and a brief acknowledgement of the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address.
