Christmas Name that Tune: "Tails" really is.............

[Ed note: Whoops! I'd originally written this last night to post after I went to bed, but messed up the post options date so instead of waking up this morning to see that this had posted and revealed the answer, I had total Future Posting Fail. Sorry!]

Someone guessed it! Faster than I did back in the day when it was of critical importance to the kid, too... Way to go, Teresa!

I had hoped to find the Muppets clip of this song to share with you as the big reveal, but alas, it doesn't seem to exist online. So, I'm going with the original, but trust me, if you can get your hands on a copy of John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together, you'll love Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem's version. Animal and his RUN RUN REINDEER alone make it worthwhile. (Teresa - that is one of the Smith family's favorite Christmas albums as well, and has been one of my favorites since I got it on vinyl back when it was a new release in the 70s!)

Well, way up north where the air gets cold
There's a TALE about Christmas that you've all been told........................



Little St. Nick is the TAILS of Kiddo's oddly named request!
