    A couple of years ago when the local football team was going to play the team just south of us (BITTER rivals for many decades) for the playoffs one of the local rock stations played the song The Bears Still Suck EVERY 15 - 30 minutes for a week.

    It made the national news who interviewed the DJs who started it.

      There's a song from Frozen besides Let It Go?

        I just got an email from the Bed and Lotion store. "Frozen Madness" covered in ads for Frozen stuff.

          If I hear one more coworker talking about how they have to get a Frozen doll for their daughter/granddaughter/niece/whomever for Christmas but Menards is always out or doesn't have the one they want and OMG it's the worst thing ever!!!, I'm going to vomit velveeta and a pound of hamburger on them. Pretty sure.

          I'm over it.

              I won 2 tickets to see "Disney On Ice" featuring a "Frozen" extravaganza here in Los Angeles.
              I gave the tickets to someone at work for his kids. I like the movie but I don't need to OD on it. LOL

                Many years ago, I heard about a radio station doing something similar with "Louie, Louie" - they had a (IIRC) 24 hour marathon of it without playing the same cover version twice.
                Oh, that brought back a memory.

                Three or four Christmas Eves ago, driving up from Topeka to my brother's home in Nebraska, listening to Christmas music on the radio (since there was nothing else on any station I could get on the trip).

                In the space of that three hour drive, I heard no less than five renditions of "Santa Baby". All by different artists. One of them a man.

                Surreal trip.

                  Actually they don't have any of the toy rights or any of the rights beyond the actual movies. Lucas kept those. It's why he let them have movie rights. He can market all the materials and do all the merchandise but not have to worry about messing up the movies himself. He kept video game rights as well. Disney can ONLY do movies.
                  Do you have a citation on that?

                  My understanding is that he sold Lucasfilm Limited, as in the whole thing, for a little over 4 billion dollars. They have complete rights to all LFL properties, not just Star Wars, but Indiana Jones and anything else they have.

                  That Disney also owns the merchandising rights is why they declared they were rebooting the canon and that 30+ years of expanded universe materials were no longer canonical and you'd now have to buy the all new novels and comic books instead (with the new comics of course done through Marvel as Disney's comic arm, instead of Dark Horse, which had done Star Wars comics for over 20 years).

                    Menards doesn't have Frozen dolls? Next you'll tell me that Toys-R-Us is out of stock on 4x8 foot sheets of 1/2" plywood.

                      I saw a FUNNY commercial on TV the other day

                      It was for one of the major nation-wide pet stores. It featured an Olaf doggie chew plushie toy. The dog in the commercial was happily chomping away at it.

                        Interestingly enough, for what it's actual purpose is, Menards does have an actual toy area this time of year that's pretty lush in comparison to other stores. I think it's so they can compete with Farm and Fleet's infamous ToyLand.

                        Do remember, though, I live in ButtSex Egypt, so there's no Toys R Us for at least a good 90 miles in either direction.

                          That's my understanding, too. No way Disney would have bought Star Wars without merch rights. That was one of the criticisms, as I understand it.

                          However, George always held everything close to the vest with SW when he still owned it. He had to vet everything, I mean everything that came out.

                          That included all artwork for the Star Wars RPG. A friend of mine did a few inked pics for one of the supplements (great work btw), and he had to wait forever to get paid because it took Lucas so long to give his work the thumbs up.

                            Would they have needed those rights to make a mouse-ears cap based on R2-D2's dome? If so, then they apparently had those rights when my sister visited there in October and picked up a couple presents for me.
