Trivia/Info
- This song features a toy piano.
- John Flansburgh on the song in a 2001 interview:[1]
“Feast of Lights” is pretty dire. But I think it reflects an emotion that only comes up at Christmas time… I mean, holiday time. There’s another song in our history that kind of runs parallel to that track, called “We Just Go Nuts At Christmastime.” […] Our Jewish friends reached out to us. There was this compilation record being made by one of the original owners of the Knitting Factory, and he was collecting a bunch of Chanukah songs. Because he felt like there should be a Chanukah record. “What about Chanukah?” So we cooked up the track, to revisit the “We Just Go Nuts At Christmastime” concept, but in a way that was clearly masked from our actual family and relations.
- When played live, Linnell has sung altered lyrics including, "We'll listen to electronica and we'll pass the chocolate coins," "Just you and me and Monica and a bag of chocolate coins," and "I got you a melodica."
