"My World is Beginning Today"

No, I'm not on drugs and this post - Christmas post may seem strange.

I use "YouTube" links a great deal in my postings. I can be at my computer for hours looking for unique or rare subject matter.

For those of us fortunate to have grown up in the early era of "stop animation" specials (i.e.- "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer", Santa Claus is Coming to Town, etc.") there is my personal favorite musical number and it's GAY, GAY, GAY!

Who could forget the buxom (shocking), red-headed, school teacher, Miss Jessica from: "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" letting her hair down (with the help from some crafty (and gay) woodpecker hairdressers. The late Robie Lester was the voice of Jesssica as well as other notable animated characters.


I could go on for days about this number. It is important to note the behavior of the animals and the animated psychedelic effects. Most important however is this sweet song that is now deleted from current DVD versions of the story.

  • Well, MY three day weekend is beginning today, so queue the woodpeckers.....nahhh,don't go there. Be safe!
