Merry Christmas With the Moms and Dads: Yuletunes Eclectic & Inexplicable XVIII — Hall Deckening, Part One
WARNING: THIS IS NOT AN EPISODE OF THE BELOVED AND INFLUENTIAL PODCAST "A DEGREE ABSOLUTE!"

In the discography of Prince, may he rest in power, this would be the Emancipation edition. It’s the Tomorrow Never Dies entry, in EON productions James Bond parlance. I guess I could look up which Marvel movie was the 18th, but when I started this project, there were no Marvel Studios marvel movies. That’s how long I’ve been doing this.
