The Funny Music Project is the spot where many an aspiring Weird Al Yankovic put their latest wares on display for all the other aspiring Weird Al Yankovics to either admire or mock. After they've been up for a while, FuMP slaps a price tag on them. The best of them get collected up and pressed to CD for sale in the Funny Music Project web store.
It's actually a lot better than it sounds.
Anyway, I like to stop by once or twice a year to see if anyone is taking on the holidays. This year brought a double treat (think of it as a 2 sided holiday single). The Christmas side from The Camryn Manheim Steamroller is "Reindeer Direction" sung to the tune of Kermit The Frog's "Rainbow Connection". The Thanksgiving flip side is "Butterball", done to the tune of "Pinball Wizard". Stop by the Funny Music Project and download them both free. You should also be able to find them (as well as a few more I didn't think were as well done) at the Internet Archives--"Butterball" here and "Reindeer Direction" here. Sadly, there was no cover art, forcing me to create the image you see here. I hate when that happens.
