All Christmas Animal Songs

by | Dec 25, 2013

We presented something a little different—a very special edition of “Talking Animals” you might say (we wouldn’t say that, but you might!) South Korea's Trainers and Animals Prepare For Christmas PerformanceIt didn’t make sense to devote Christmas morning to a regular edition of the program, particularly conducting a guest interview (much less two!) on that show. But, since animal songs constitute one of the key elements of “Talking Animals,” I decided to go all in.

With Flee’s help–both suggestions of songs and selections from his vast music collection–I fashioned a collection of Christmas-oriented animal songs to play that morning. Sure—as you can see–to pull off this conceit, I needed to rely heavily on various versions of “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer,” but hopefully involving some interesting artists, as well as some less obviously yuletide critter tunes. Here’s what I played Christmas morning:
