Music Appreciation: Duboce Triangle w/ Orphan G - You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch.

The season's last Christmas song.

Duboce Triangle w/ Orphan G - You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch

The beat/coffee house incarnation, no less.

Got this one from last year's special holiday version of Cover Fight, a division of Song Fight. It won, which is no surprise. It's somewhat truncated, though, and leaves out my favorite lines, like the one about the "three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce." Ah, well. Can't have everything.

I have more holiday songs than this, although this will the be the last of 'em I post for three-hundred and sixty-five days or so. I considered putting up Run DMC's "Christmas in Hollis" or Fuel's cover of "We Three Kings" instead, but I figured we, as a civilization, already owed Dr. Seuss one after running a train on his life's work, Hollywood style. Now a generation of semi-illiterate kids'll probably grow up thinking of the Cat in the Hat as a cheesy Mike Meyers vehicle, instead of a surrealist children's book. Kind of unfortunate.

Anyway, I've got presents to sit and stare at for about half an hour before I get to open them, so I'll leave it at that. Happy holidays.

No lyrics. We all know how it goes.

Old Navy has been playing remixes of the original Mr. Grinch theme, with all the original vocals and almost-phat beats.

They ought to build a power station over Seuss' grave. He's probably spinning fast enough to light the entire eastern seaboard.
