The Disney Family Singalong

[Daniel]

Here's the lineup:

Andrea Bocelli—“Silent Night”

BTS—“Santa Claus Is Coming To Town”

Michael Bublé—“It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas”

Ciara—“Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”

Chloe x Halle—“Do You Want to Build a Snowman?”

Derek Hough and Hayley Erbert—“Hey Santa” and “Jingle Bells”

Julianne Hough—“Whistle While You Work” and “Let It Snow”

Adam Lambert—“Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”

Leslie Odom Jr.—“What’s This?”

Katy Perry—“I’ll Be Home for Christmas” and “Cozy Little Christmas”

P!NK—“The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)”

Kerry Washington—“Joy to the World”

Well, there's one Nightmare song! Surprised they didn't get Josh Gad to sing a song from Olaf's Frozen Adventure.

So-so lineup. I would say I'm most looking forward to P!NK, Katy Perry and Andrea Bocelli.

Happy they squeezed in a Nightmare song, and if it wasn't for that song and Snowman and Whistle I would have had no idea this was a Disney related special based on all those songs. And performers.

Well, there's one Nightmare song! Surprised they didn't get Josh Gad to sing a song from Olaf's Frozen Adventure.

And a Frozen song too!...Whodathunk?
Gee, whoever said this would just be generic Christmas songs, because there "weren't any" classic Disney holiday tunes?

(And as Bill asks, why are they doing a holiday singalong where they can't promote their own product?
Well, because....they...STILL can't figure out what else to put on the free networks during the Pandemic.)

[Daniel]

The newest iteration will be Schoolhouse Rock! Here's the full lineup:

Black Eyed Peas – “Three Is A Magic Number”
Derek Hough and Hayley Erbert – “Figure 8″
Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen – “I'm Just a Bill”
Julianne Hough – “Interplanet Janet”
The Muppets & Fortune Feimster – “Unpack Your Adjectives”
NE-YO – “Verb: That's What’s Happening”
Raven Symoné and Kal Penn – “Interjections”
Retta – “Ready or Not, Here I Come”
Shaquille O'Neal and Boys & Girls Club of Atlanta – “Conjunction Junction”
Stars from Disney’s Broadway and touring productions – “A Noun is a Person, Place or Thing”

No Lolly, Lolly? Boo. Yay for Muppets!

[Ben]

Awe, no Conjugate The Verb from Monty Python?

[EricJ]

No attempt to do "Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla" live?

A bluesy delivery of "Mean Ol' Number Nine"?

And, ahem..."The Preamble"??

[Ben]

Well, once they work out how to use apostrophes in dates, eh, Eric…?

[Daniel]

Mean ol' number nine are part of the lyrics for "Naughty Number Nine". One of my faves. That's how I learned to do 9s!

[EricJ]

Most of the Multiplication songs also taught some concept of math:
"I Got Six" demonstrates math word-problems, "Little Twelvetoes" explains the Base-10 number system, "Zero, My Hero" goes into hundreds and thousands, and "Naughty Number Nine" shows different ways to check your work.

...And then, all most Boomers can remember is "I'm Just a Bill", so they can joke about their own lives with it.
