Beautiful Downtown Burbank Christmas music video

Burbank, the Media Capital of the World, now has its own wassail song for Christmas! I started with the tune of "Here We Come A-Wassailing" and added a few embellishments that reflect Burbank's long movie history and some long-running TV series produced here and we've got a wassail song (instrumental) that can take its place among Gloucestershire Wassail, Gower Wassail, Somerset Wassail, Cornish Wassail and all the rest. Was hail! ("Be in health")

Hot babes in Santa suits (no, baggy Santa suits)! Snow! Adorable kids! Ballerinas! Christmas lights! Fireworks! The music video mashes clips from YouTube videos and other images by Burbank residents and visitors. See if you can find yourself and your friends in the video!

Many thanks to the following individuals and groups for the use of clips from their videos. (YouTube user IDs are given except where noted.)
