What is the weirdest thing you’ve found in your Christmas tree?

Aubrey thought a stray cat had snuck in the house through the doggy door and into the family’s Christmas tree, only to find out that “cat” was actually a huge raccoon. The journey is quite breathtaking… (p.s. there is a curse word or two in this video)

Her friend Kelsie was so inspired she wrote a song about it

Reminds me of this scene in Christmas Vacation

Which also reminds me all of us here at 101WKQX did a table read of the movie for you.  Merry Christmas!  <3 Lauren

Watch Dave Grohl’s Hanukkah cover songs of Drake, Beastie Boys, & more

As we near the end of Hanukah during an emotionally-draining year, it has been exciting to pull up the Foo Fighters Youtube channel with Dave Grohl and music producer Greg Kurstin covering different Jewish artists. The tandem of drums and keyboards in one room just having fun with a wide range of artists, all getting the touch of Grohl’s voice and beats. You have to hope they do this next year! We will update this post

SABOTAAAAAAGE! Imagine if we got to see this live again?!

This maybe the most surprising but catchiest in the group as a sendup to hip hop heavyweight Drake’s ‘Hotline Bling’ with a very unique yet on-point rendition. It’s still very catchy.

Mountain “Mississippi Queen” ya know what i mean!

The prolifically weird Peaches joined this cover of her sex anthem ‘**** the Pain Away’. Maybe use headphones on this one.

Influential song writing giant Bob Dylan gets a lively tribute here.

90’s alternative from lasting player who grew out of the 90s!

The Knack’s ‘Frustrated’ is a very underrated late 70’s treasure.

Elf is an alternative holiday classic

‘Elf’ in recent years has cemented its status as a demented holiday classic. The film sees Will Ferrell as ‘Buddy’, an oversized elf for Santa who learns he is indeed a human and he goes on a search for his real dad is in New York City. The fish-out-of-water scenario lays up some slam dunk comedic moments from his junk food indulgence, being extremely out-of-touch with reality, and much more than all lead to a genuinely heartwarming third act. These videos dig into why the movie which helped establish Farrell as a movie star following his memorable run on ‘Saturday Night Live’, is held in such high regard since it was released in 2003.

In a new Netflix special, ‘The Holiday Movies That Made Us’ recaps all the wild going-ons behind the scenes of the film. Yes, Ferrell just heckled unknowing people on the street for some awkward laughter. It makes you wonder how that would go down if you did that in Chicago on State street, right?

One of the more memorable scenes from the movie was that wild brawl with Artie Lange playing a surly Santa and Farrell not understand why this impostor was entertaining children’s holiday wishes. Some of us have gotten pretty dramatic after a few too many drinks and told someone they “sit on a throne of lies” right?

In their ongoing spoof series, ScreenJunkies lays down how ridiculous the premise for the film actually is. Wait, who turned down this lead role?

In 2018, Ferrell shared with James Corden that he thought the film would ruin his career at first.

OK, if penguins like the movie it has to be good right?

You should not expect a sequel to ‘Elf’ even though Farrell has publicly gone on the record saying he is not interested reprising the role.

This remixed trailer is done so well to make the movie into a creepy thriller that adds evil with a dark music score and jumpy editing.

In 2014, in an animated TV special for NBC with throwback stop-motion style with Jim Parsons played ‘Buddy’ and Mark Hammil as his Scrooged-up dad. Yes, it’s a musical but it still stays true to the original premise. A fully-produced stage musical started on Broadway in 2010.
