What’s the song playing under the start of Vin Brue’s story, around 15:42 or so? It doesn’t seem to be listed in the credits.
Thank you!
Your Name, that’s “Sha La Da La La (Christmas Time)” by the Sha La Das! 🙂
—John LaSala
Thank you again! It sounded so familiar, but I was utterly unable to place it, so I appreciate you solving the mystery.
(it turns out that the Menahan Street Band played as the backing band for the Sha La Das on that one song, so that’s what I was recognizing).
Who sings the the most wonderful time of the year? Hilarious!!!
Oh gosh. That’s a found footage thing. Most likely came from one of Matt Bomarr’s annual roundup of random stuff found on YouTube or rare record stores! Sorry I can’t be more helpful! – Kevin
