Laughing All The Way
by Charles Rice Goff III
In 1993 Charles Goff III assembled five very different interpretations of the Christmas classic, “Jingle Bells”, and released them through Taped Rugs Productions on a cassette entitled “Laughing All The Way.” A variety of instruments, sound samples, and recording techniques give each version of the song its own distinctive flavor. Taped Rugs re-released the contents of the cassette on CDR in 2004.
Dave Hughes of Modern Dance said of the collection:
“Laughing All The Way is one hell of an alternative Xmas album to be playing as the kids (or parents) open the pressies. I'd probably need the rest of the mag to describe the stuff that's going on... needless to say, this is weird, well weird, but... fun!”
Jerry Kranitz of Aural Innovations wrote:
“On the surface it sounds like "Classical Jingle Bells" is being played as a straight acoustic guitar song. But it's embellished by weird backup bits, and also some of Charles's more passionate singing, an offbeat style which I happen to be a fan of. "Celebrity Jingle Bells" sounds like a twisted tape spliced version of a Bing Crosby holiday television special. And indeed the parade of voices that bob and weave throughout the mix sound like they were indeed pulled from TV shows or holiday song record albums. "Noisy Jingle Bells" is exactly as described. Ditto for "Spacey Jingle Bells". Can you picture Robbie the Robot in a Santa Claus outfit? Finally, "Joker Jingle Bells" is pure chaotic fun that includes the old Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg lyrics. This was really funny to hear because right around the same time I heard this, my step-daughter’s 6-year old son was singing the same, having heard it at school, and was in stitches when I played the Charles version for him. The young reviewers laughing comment... That's silly papa.”
All five Jingle Bells interpretations are included in this archive:
1 Classical Jingle Bells
2 Celebrity Jingle Bells
3 Noisy Jingle Bells
4 Spacey Jingle Bells
5 Joker Jingle Bells
