The MOB has an excellent version of “Rock Lobster” in its library, and I know we’ve recorded it, but I don’t have that recording even though I’m quite certain I did at one point. Oh, well. Other than noting that I love barbershop quartet music, I don’t think I have anything else to add.
Entire song list report: Started with “Sleepyhead”, by Passion Pit. Finished with “Smackwater Jack”, by Carole King, song #4788. That’s an appropriately holiday-week-shortened 45 tunes. Now go get ready to listen to the prancing and pawing of some little hooves, and enjoy the rest of your Christmas Eve.
