Dori Monson Show's Profile Picture

BY DORI MONSON SHOW


The Dori Monson Show is on KIRO Newsradio (weekdays Noon-3).

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.

“A lot of songs around this time evoke images of home, being with friends and family — all of the things that the state is deciding we’re not allowed to do this year,” he joked.

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

Listen to the Dori Monson Show weekday afternoons from noon – 3 p.m. on KIRO Radio, 97.3 FM. Subscribe to the podcast here.
