Christmas Mashup 1 - Over the River and Through the Wood (but everyone sings it) (LANGUAGE WARNING)

(TURN UP YOUR VOLUME TO HEAR THIS)

It's the "Grandma Song" -- well you know, the Cartmans singing it -- but it's taken to the max but in a good way! How about a mashup of an all star-studded edit of "Over the River and Through the Wood" for this Christmas season?
It's everything in between bringing this song to life: Eric and Liane Cartman, Larry Groce, vocals from an arrangement by Jeanne Parson, the Noteworthy Singers, the Northmen, The Kid Connection, Baby Genius and the California Kids, and Danny Kaye and the Andrews Sisters all singing along with an instrumental (which matches the lyrics sung) containing a woodwind arrangement capturing its lively, bouncing rhythms and high spirits--this Christmas, this song is sure to have everyone singing! Sounds like fun, isn't it!?

Original description: "Over the River and Through the Wood" is a Thanksgiving/Christmas poem by Lydia Maria Child, originally published in 1844 in Flowers for Children, Volume 2. The poem was originally published as "The New-England Boy's Song about Thanksgiving Day" in Child's Flowers for Children. It celebrates the author's childhood memories of visiting her grandfather's house (said to be the Paul Curtis House). Lydia Maria Child was a novelist, journalist, teacher, and poet who wrote extensively about the need to eliminate slavery. The poem was eventually set to an American folk tune by an unknown composer. The song is sung during Thanksgiving or Christmas; however, this song is more associated with Christmas since the word "snow" is sung in the first verse.
