Today is the day that I, once again, set my ringtone for the holiday season. This is my ringtone, straight from a Gap commercial.
Here is Luscious Jackson, performing their fantastic "Let It Snow", interpolating a little play on Gary Numan's "Cars". This was performed live on Jay Leno's Tonight Show. It's not the same without Carson.
They did release a real live video for this song. It's cute, but it doesn't include "Sleds", which is pretty amazing. Still, here it is. It's a cute video - Jill Cunniff and Gabby Glaser make sure we know they aren't REALLY in snow thanks to their wardrobe - and a good version of the song.
Of course, this song was first performed as part of a Gap Christmas ad campaign, where Gap took artists they used through the year in their hip commercials and had them reinterpret Christmas tunes (This is Luscious Jackson's original commercial). It is THIS version that is my ringtone, and has been for many Decembers. 30 seconds is enough to realize genius on this song.
