Oh, hey there.

00:00:02.589 --> 00:00:03.413 align:center
You startled me.

00:00:03.936 --> 00:00:04.961 align:center
I was just getting lost in

00:00:05.002 --> 00:00:06.329 align:center
the liner notes of my favorite

00:00:06.389 --> 00:00:08.500 align:center
Christmas album of all time.

00:00:09.300 --> 00:00:10.144 align:center
Switched on Santa.

00:00:11.430 --> 00:00:14.383 align:center
Recorded in 1969 on Pickwick Records,

00:00:14.865 --> 00:00:18.180 align:center
it features exclusively the Moog Synthesizer.

00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:22.501 align:center
No brass, no strings, no woodwinds.

00:00:23.266 --> 00:00:25.337 align:center
Common now, but revolutionary at the

00:00:25.398 --> 00:00:25.860 align:center
time.

00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:28.109 align:center
But before you add Switched on

00:00:28.170 --> 00:00:30.077 align:center
Santa to your collection, and by

00:00:30.158 --> 00:00:31.342 align:center
add to your collection I mean

00:00:31.383 --> 00:00:34.174 align:center
press play on YouTube, take note,

00:00:34.515 --> 00:00:35.660 align:center
it's not for everybody.

00:00:36.460 --> 00:00:37.705 align:center
It's kind of weird in an

00:00:37.846 --> 00:00:40.597 align:center
Alice in Wonderland does Christmas on

00:00:40.677 --> 00:00:42.886 align:center
Mars kind of way, but it's

00:00:42.966 --> 00:00:44.995 align:center
guaranteed to be a conversation piece

00:00:45.055 --> 00:00:46.340 align:center
at your next holiday party.

00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:48.250 align:center
Be careful though.

00:00:48.814 --> 00:00:49.983 align:center
If you play it too loud,

00:00:50.044 --> 00:00:51.757 align:center
your parents might think you're tripping

00:00:51.777 --> 00:00:52.140 align:center
balls.

00:00:52.740 --> 00:00:55.409 align:center
So for 2026, let's all be

00:00:55.469 --> 00:00:55.951 align:center
grateful.

00:00:56.553 --> 00:00:58.701 align:center
For each other, for our friends

00:00:58.781 --> 00:01:01.470 align:center
and our family, but especially for

00:01:01.511 --> 00:01:02.875 align:center
the Moog Synthesizer.

00:01:03.437 --> 00:01:04.260 align:center
Merry Christmas.
