Allan Sherman | The Twelve Gifts of Christmas

Allan Sherman makes his MotD debut with “The Twelve Gifts of Christmas” (1963)! Key change at 2:30, but this one is worth listening to the whole way through. Have a good weekend!

Tom Lehrer | Who’s Next

Here’s something a little different: this is the genius Tom Lehrer’s “Who’s Next” (1965), featuring FIVE modulations: 1:06, 1:21, 1:35, 2:02, and 2:17.

Fascinating Aida | Cheap Flights

Fascinating Aïda have been described as “Absolutely Fabulous meets Noel Coward, as sung by the Andrew Sisters.” Here’s their rendition of “Cheap Flights.” One of the key changes is at 1:25, but you have to watch the whole thing!

Randy Rainbow | You Can’t Stop His Tweets

As I’ve said before, I try to stay away from politics on this page as much as possible, but Randy Rainbow came out with a new video today, and it’s too good to resist posting. The whole thing is just brilliant, but for our purposes here at MoTD the important moment is at 4:21. Enjoy!

Bad Lip Reading | Christmas is Here

We try to generally keep MotD a politics-free zone, but this is just too good not to share. You have to watch the whole video, but pay particular attention around 1:30 for a modulation by baby wail!

Yeo Valley advertisement

Modulation of the Day would like to present the 2011 commercial for Yeo Valley, a large farming operation in the UK. There is a modulation, around 1:20, that you don’t want to miss. But don’t miss the huge number of boy band cliches which are served up throughout!
