Soundtrack Songs (Holiday Edition): You’re a Mean One, Mr Grinch

Thurl Ravenscroft: You‘re a Mean One, Mr Grinch

[purchase]

I grew up in a Jewish home, so I don’t get nostalgic for most of the old Christmas specials. Still, there were two that we always watched: A Charlie Brown Christmas and The Grinch. Yes, I know the full title is How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but every year there was that one special night when the cry went up, “Hurry, The Grinch is on!” The song is further proof that the bad guys always get the best stuff to sing, even during the holidays.
