With lines like “Take a look down on Madison, glistening one second with shattered glass and boarded up windows,” it’s clear that “It’s beginning to look a lot like Seattle” isn’t your run of the mill Christmas jingle. The song has been making the rounds locally, and listener Tyler Miller joined the Dori Monson Show to discuss what inspired his Seattle Christmas parody song.

Listen to his Christmas parody songs and his interview with Dori below:
