+ | *This song came about due in large part to Len of Jawbone Radio wanting to be able to play Christmas music on his podcast. Joining forces with fellow podcasters C.C. Chapman of Accident Hash and Big Mike and Just Sue of the Extra Super Action Show, Len originally contacted several other musicians including the band Cruisebox, who had had a moderate hit with their song "On A Podcast" the previous summer, to record a podsafe Christmas song. This collaboration was nixed due to scheduling conflicts. C.C. Chapman introduced Len to Jonathan Coulton, telling Len that Jonathan had the right kind of "quirky vibe" for the project. The rest was history. This song is credited with starting the Visual Thing A Week phenomenon, as Len was looking for a way to thank Jonathan for working him into the song.
