That’s on the Xmas mix CD I did when Casey was a baby. Top ten for sure.

I love Duke’s nutcracker album.

Don't you have to disclose your conflict of interest on this?

btrwkart.bsky.social•73 days ago

Which one?

shysterb.bsky.social•73 days ago

Isn't this the album your father played on? (And yes, I am asking here rather than getting up from my desk and walking into the family room.)

I wasn't sure if you meant that or that I went to Temple.

But no, this was a year or two before he was in the choir.

Fairytale of New York. Second place is Christmas in Hollis by Run DMC.

I will not be taking questions at this time.

“Me and the wife were just trying to have a nice night out listening to the NYPD Choir, but the words of ‘Galway Bay’ were completely drowned out by this couple having a loud, drunken and homophobic argument behind us.”

I watched a making-of documentary. Apparently for the video the NYPD choir didn't actually know Galway Bay. They had to sing something they all knew. The song that they sang was the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse song...

THERE IS NO NYPD CHOIR

sheepbop.bsky.social•73 days ago

Not until 2023 :)

That’s pretty awesome

When the NYPD band passed us at the Thanksgiving Day Parade this year, I yelled out “PLAY GALWAY BAY!”
