Paul McCartney - “Wonderful Christmastime” (near-acapella)
Vince Guaraldi - “Linus And Lucy” (instrumental…duh!)

Sometimes I think that there should be a person that sits in my home, solely to make sure that I don’t do mixes like this!

When I got the McCartney Years DVD, I immediately started searching the center channel of the surround mix for acapellas. While there really are not many usable acapellas for mashups, there was one…the one I really wanted. Yay!

I had planned on making a whole Beatles “Love”-type mashup, with a lot of Beatles songs over the Macca acapella, but nothing sounded right…until I rediscovered the Peanuts track.

In the end, the simple idea wins.

Special thanks to Nora for having what is apparently the only DVD copy of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” in Los Angeles County.
