Well, that is pretty much The Hallmark Channel and they're doing well enough with it...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:25pm
Becky:

haha, no "In late November 2021, WLBR switched to a 24/7 Christmas music format, replacing WROZ in Lancaster as an official Christmas station in Central Pennsylvania and the entire Lebanon Valley. The station returned to its Classic Hits format on December 27 at midnight."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:25pm
Becky:

The news to me is that Central PA needs an "official Christmas station".

Well, if you leave it up to the amateurs...

(except the x-mas tree ones, that might infringe)

Can WFMU be named the Official Silver-Haired Fox Station of the tristate area?

Imagine the loon crowing at the top of the hour with that ridic fake radio voice: You are listening to THEE official Central PA chrismas station….w elllllllllll beeeee efffffff!!
  8:30pm
dano59:

The temporary/seasonal 24/7 Christmas station is time-honored but largely unnecessary in the Spandorify era, if the aim was to serve retailers with ready-made Muzak.
Pity about WLBR today tho.

@Destroit I can't imagine what the local radio ads (still) sounded like at 'holiday' time...

Disney fans will also know Thurl as the parrot with a silly put-on German accent in the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room.

Oh yeah that’s Thurl.
He is credited on Grim Grinning Ghosts and many other Disney/novelty records.

i have the disney haunted mansion record with thurl ravenscroft

Becky:

This is the record in question
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:39pm
Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz:

One of the busts in the Disney World Haunted Mansion has the face and voice of Ravenscloft, and I believe he also sang the Haunted Mansion song "Grim Grinning Ghosts." Paul Frees worked on that song too. There are some other cool hidden references to him in and around the attraction.

I’m more surprised Desi Arnaz never did this one

Ex Disney manager here, knew the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room fact

Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz:

Ha, figured some of you would beat me to those facts. I don't think I knew about the Tiki Room fact because I'm more familiar with the newest version of the attraction.

the haunted mansion has the ghost song. i also have child's introduction to the orchestra
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:44pm
Becky:

It really brought me joy that even in all revamps of the Haunted Mansion, they've left Thurl's amazing expressive ghost bust in there. So cool.
Avatar 8:44pm
PuraVida:

THIS is the Haunted Mansion voice which is Thurl's. I spent 4 years in Florida in management at Disney World.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:44pm

Dotty Robbins is not a Thurl record (to my knowledge).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:45pm
ultradamno:

So, this song is the Hit The Road Jack woman doubling down (rather than answering)?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:46pm
Becky:

@ultradamno, the correct sequence is Hit The Road Jack>Come Back Jack by Nina Simone>I Changed My Mind Jack
  8:46pm

and the haunted mansion book has a character that looks a lot like shrek

Answer to an answer. All credit to Sheila B who I first heard DJ that sequence.

Answering and answer song...how many extended conversation string records are there?

The Cat Came Back/Hit the Road, Cat was a local variation on the theme by the Black-Eyed Susies
