Hey everybody,

"Santa Stop Here" is a fun new original Christmas song and video by Josie and Bob. We hope all you kids at heart and the kids you know and love will enjoy it. To see the lyrics - click "more details" on the video.

It's kind of a Spector girl group meets Springsteen feel good song. Or maybe not LOL but it was fun.

Josie on vox/harmonies. Mixed in Tracktion. Video by Bob.

Drums RockClassicBrit
Bass Hard Rock 995

Nice song!

I was going to add a couple "constructive" criticisms, but my 9 year old daughter (who should have been in bed hours ago) is standing next to me, is smiling and dancing along with video.

So it look like you've connected with your target audience.

That is so cute, Josie.

How was the 'animation' made?

dcuny's daughter said it all!!!

Yours is more in the true spirit of Christmas And it's a little less cynical than mine last year.
How was the animation done, it fitted wonderfully?

David, Kent, Alyn & Noel,

Thanks so much for listening/watching the video. Josie and I are really glad you enjoyed it.

For the video, we used a combination of vintage and newer footage, which required editing to fit the song. The video was produced in iMovie 11.

Hi Bob:

That's a great resource. Which providers are those? I'll bet other BIAB users would use something like that when creating videos for their songs.

Thanks.

Hey Kent,

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and I see Bob already answered your question.



Hey John,

Thanks for watching. Bob put in hours of hard work and did a fantastic job on this video. We're getting him a director's chair and a megaphone for Christmas so he can fling his arms in the air and yell cut at the computer. LOL!

Hey Alyn,

Glad you enjoyed it! We thought animation would fit the lyrics making it more fun to watch and enhance the beat. Bob and I can tell you this without hesitation - Christmas songs are hard to write.



Hey Noel,

So glad you like it! We believe we have something really special with this song and put the time and hard work into it. Thank you for everything you said.

Yes she did! Great song and video. I really like your vocals on this one. It sounds like you were having fun singing it.

Two thumbs up.

Love writing the love songs but it was fun to do something a little different and get in the kid spirit.
