@PAPIPEGUY: Upwards of 300,000 went on, give or take. And this year we'll try to do away with that "not too scary" part. ;)
@Random: I can't speak for Christmas, but you can look forward to something similar to what you suggested happening somewhere right around the end of October.
Proud to say I fronted a Cape May, NJ cover band and we covered THIS tune. Great fun to sing. And crowds always loved it despite NEVER having heard it before. We prided ourselves on playing great, obscure tunes like this and turning them more mainstream.
I haven't seen anything this difficult to read since James Joyce's Ulysses.
