Happy Music Monday! Today Scott's giving us five instrumentals. So we can all better focus on the music, Scott's saying nothing. He totally didn't just forget about this until the very last second. Nope! Not at all! He completed this particular Music Monday all the way back in December! Ha ha! Here's the first song.

David Bowie - A New Career In A New Town

Four more inside, after the jump. Join us, won't you?

Frank Zappa - Watermelon In Easter Hay

Music Monday: Happy Hanukkah!

Happy Music Monday! Even though Jewish songwriters are responsible for nearly every major breakthrough in modern pop music, there's only like five to seven Hanukkah songs out there! So let's make a deal, readers: if you know a Hanukkah song that Scott couldn't find, put it in the comments.

Eyal Bitton - Rock Me Maccabeus

I don't normally let singing YouTubers qualify for Music Mondays, but I gotta make a small exception here. This Falco parody covers the history of the Maccabees and that's pretty important to this time of year, I think. Plus if I gave the top spot to Adam Sandler again I might get throttled by a loyal reader.

More to come after the jump! Happy Hanukkah!

Music Monday: Cheery Christmas

Happy Music Monday! There's a lot of absolutely terrible Christmas music, isn't there? Today Scott's goal is to give you a respectable Christmas mix made of very good Christmas songs. Such as this one:

Duke Pearson - Sleigh Ride

This album on Blue Note is basically the greatest Christmas album ever. It's so good! If you like this, you'll like everything on it. Play it over and over. Santa will thank you for it.

It won't get better, but it'll be pretty good. More Christmas to come after the jump.

Bonnie Guitar - Christmas Time Is Here

Happy Music Monday! As the year comes to a close, it's a great time to recap all our favorite songs of the year that was. Of course Scott's made a list of his favorite five. You should start in on yours now, then you'll be ready to post them in the comments. Ready? Okay! Let's go!

Tom Vek - Sherman (Animals In The Jungle)

Love this song. Love it. THERE IS NO CHOICE YOU WILL LOVE IT OR I WILL COME TO YOUR HOUSE WITH A STICK.

Four more songs, after the jump. Don't cross him, people. He's loco.
