A NEW TOOBWORLD TRADITION FOR THANKSGIVING


I've decided this should become a Thanksgiving tradition....



Now if you want to learn more about this TV crossover classic which was a charity production for "Children In Need"....

From Wikipedia:
"The Official BBC Children in Need Medley" is a single by Peter Kay's Animated All Star Band. It is the official Children in Need Single for 2009, and was released on 21 November 2009. The song was shown for the first time on Children in Need 2009. The cover art is a parody of the cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles. The single has sold over 452,000 copies in the UK, earning it Gold status from the BPI.

According to a news interview, Kay conceptualized the single while working with the director. The director said that he would "love to do something like that" but he and Kay regarded it mostly as a joke.

After some time away from the subject, Kay brought it up again, this time with the actual intent to produce it. The director said that he and Kay "just sat down one lunchtime and wrote a list", with as many characters recorded on it as they could think of from their childhoods, as well as some modern favorites and non-British characters. The song was recorded at Hullabaloo Studios by the Voice and Music Company.

The project was carried out in top secret at the request of executive producer Kay. Celebrities and voice artists who voiced characters' original vocals were brought in without being told details of the project. When contacted by Cartoon Network Studios, Casey Kasem agreed to take part on the condition that Shaggy was shown to be a vegetarian and asked not to be given credit as he was officially retired.

The single raised at least £170,000 for Children in Need after more than 265,000 CD, DVD and download sales by mid-December 2009.[6] 

The single is a medley of multiple songs played out in the following order:


  • "Can You Feel It" – originally performed by The Jacksons (1980) (0:00–1:08)
  • "Don't Stop" – originally performed by Fleetwood Mac (1976) (1:08–2:27)
  • "Jai Ho!" from the film Slumdog Millionaire – originally performed by A.R. Rahman and The Pussycat Dolls (2009) (2:12–2:41)
  • "Tubthumping" – originally performed by Chumbawamba (1997) (2:41–3:00)
  • "Never Forget" – originally performed by Take That (1995) (3:00–3:18)
  • "Hey Jude" – originally performed by The Beatles (1968) (3:18–3:37)
  • "One Day Like This" – originally performed by Elbow (2008) (3:37–4:30)
Happy Thanksgiving!
