please remember abba's christmas super-megamix

Technically my remembrance of this could only last a few hours so far, since the first time I heard it was today. But it's worth the seven or so minutes of mega-Christmas to hear them try to say "figgy pudding" with their Swedish mouths.

I can't find it online so you will just have to trust me.

please remember rockapella

How does it feel to be a group of Brown alumni singing a cappella on a street corner? Probably pretty great once you move on to Folger's coffee commercials. But we best remember them as the resident beat-boxers of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? I can't imagine the show being nearly as gripping without a theme song that is one of the most well-known in television history, according to the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences. Unfortunately, nostalgia doesn't make me hate a cappella music any less, and neither does geography.
