You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch

Day 2 of 20 Days of Christmas

Yesterday, I shared a classic original interpretation of a Christmas song, so today I'm hitting the other end of the spectrum and sharing a cover of a classic Christmas song.

When Aimee Mann released her tasteful, telecaster filled Christmas album, One More Drifter in the Snow, she took on the whimsical "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch." I admit, I had serious reservations about how she could possibly pull such a song off-- the original is ubiquitous at a cultural-DNA level, after all.

Aimee's secret weapon: friend and Troubador-frequenter, Mr. Grant Lee Phillips himself. Classic childhood awesomeness becomes still classic adulthood awesomeness! Enjoy!
