ROCKNOCEROS
WRAPS UP THE YEAR
WITH A THREE-MONTH CELEBRATION OF
'HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM ROCKNOCEROS'
WRAPS UP THE YEAR
WITH A THREE-MONTH CELEBRATION OF
'HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM ROCKNOCEROS'
Washington, DC's award-winning power trio for kids and families, Rocknoceros, continues its 10th anniversary celebration in high spiritis with the November 24 release of an exuberant holiday album, Happy Holidays from Rocknoceros.
"This Thanksgiving" is a big, bold, exuberant ode to Thanksgiving, all done up in three-quarter waltz time. "The Dreidel Song" dresses up the ubiquitous Chanukah number in a Caribbean rhythm and imbues it with an energy that never lets up. On "Oh Christmas Brie"Rocknoceros engages in a bit of "cheesy" conversation to the background of a piano bar style "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear."
In the spirit of "Winter Wonderland" and "Baby, It's Cold Outside," "Snow Day" celebrates the weather while celebrating the season. Updated lyrics grace the beloved carol melody "Wenceslas" and, like the original, narrate a tale of generosity that embraces the joy of giving at Christmas time.
A one-of-a-kind Rocknoceros version of "Up On The Rooftop" evolved from the band's holiday shows, while the treasured Christmas poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas," is given a special Rocknoceros treatment that could only be described as "the works" on "The Night Before Christmas." For a grand finale, the Scottish ballad "Auld Lang Syne" is combined with "Enjoy Yourself (It's Later Than You Think)," with the guitar providing a funky fade-out that escorts a soundtrack of New Year's frivolity.
