As Hopefully the Red Baron Won’t you Know What to this
No Fenders Post, ack Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack!
“Everybody Knows A Turkey and some
Missletoe
Helps to Keep the Season Bright!”
Although neither Snoopy or thou Red Baron will
be taking Off today. Since it feels Nippy enough for another very rare arrival
of Snow here in Bumfiddle’ Florence, which is a rarity due to our proximity to
Sea level Ho Ho Ho!
As once again, the day after Veterans Day. Cool
FM, Eugene’s 99.1FM Radio Station which some of us can pick up sporadically on
Ye Oregon Coast via Florence’s Transmitter. When it’s Not Foggy, Raining, Hailing
out and you’re holding your Elboz’ just right, Oh Never Mind! Began Thar yearly
Holiday Programming.
since they’d is it a Gory Eight weeks or is it
Thee Number Nine? No. 9 Numeral Nein? Of Nonstop, round Ye clock 24/7 Nothing
but Ack Ack Ack Christmas Songs Barrage goes thru New Years.
Although I sort of enjoy this since it’s the
only time ‘O year Yuhs can Hear such Classics as John Lennon’s so this is Christmas,
which is definitely my Numero Uno X-Mas Song!
Along with The Beach Boys ‘lil Saint Nick “run
run Reindeer” song. Or I want A Hippopotamus for Christmas. Alvin and The Chipmunks,
chuck Berry’s run run Rudolf, You’re A Mean One Mr. Grinch along with other various
Classics like Bing Crosby and David Bowies Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy Duet et Al.
Not to mention I always tend to hear some
Vintage Christmas song I haven’t heard before. As two years ago I spent several
weeks trying to figure out that it was The Carpenters singing Sleigh ride from
their 1978 Album Christmas Portrait, but I digress…

But I most definitely got a Smile on
my face when hearing for the very first time ever last November The Ballad of Snoopy’s
Yuletide Dogfight!

As the song is by The Royal Guardsmen, a
Florida Rock Band who later became known as the “Snoopy Band!” As their Snoopy Christmas
song was recorded in 1966. With the song reaching No. 2 on the billboard Hot
100 and was certified Gold in early ’67.
Funniest bit ‘O trivia is the Band
recorded the song without Charles Schulz’s initial permission. So their record
label Up North Eh! In Ye Great White North of Oh Kanaduh’ refused to release it
due to potential legal issues Stateside with Messer Schulz.
So the Band put out a very blatant
re-issue called Squeaky ant The Black Knight Up North Eh! Which also became
popular in Ye Frozen Tundra before Schulz gave his permission for the song.
Hence, naturally I got a Wild Hair to
“See” if I could find said Squeaky and The Black Knight Great White North “Import”
version, for which I was super Surprised that it came up almost immediately, Ja
Volt!
