What could be more Christmassy than sitting under a Mike Love bauble, holding a Mike Love drinkware piece with your loved one?

Hmmm...

Jon Lovitz's "Hanukkah Harry" gifting socks to Victoria Jackson and a pair of slacks to Mike Myers?

Come to think of it, I'm almost surprised Mike and or/Brian have never done a song about Hanukkah. Seriously!

 :lol

At the very least Mike should do a summer/surf arrangement of The Dreydl Song or Ani Purim with reverb-drenched guitar, picked Fender bass, and plenty of "oohhh laa laa laa, Dreydl Dreydl laa laa" harmonized backing vocals.

I mean, seriously, you can hear Mike doing a solo bass break on the words "I made it out of clay...now Dreydl I shall play" answering the harmonized "Dreydl Dreydl Dreydl" chorus, right?

As far as a Mike original, with lyrics about Hanukkah...The lyrics practically write themselves! Just mention the beach, girls on the beach, sand-sun-surf, tie it in with some Holiday phrases, and you have "Hanukkah In Kokomo".  And Mike can even get a custom made Yarmulke with the Beach Boys logo for the video shoot. Why not?  ;D

I am floored that the graphic designer doesn't have one decent picture of Mike's book to market with this set...or that they didn't spend more than 10 seconds photoshopping the cover onto an actual book. It legit looks like I'm being sold a box of cereal with 'Good Vibrations' written on it.

If Brian can have the Party! chips, Mike can have his own sweetened cereal, complete with marshmallow "M" & "B" bites

If you mail in 10 box tops, you get a free hat.

Not to spoil the fun, but that looks like the audiobook version (Penguin Audio logo on the corner), so the box look makes some sense. Still a pretty bad photoshop though.

Good catch! Before I posted that I looked at the other photoshopped items in his online store. No version of this book is getting any good treatment haha:

Those poor photoshops of the book make the inclusion of the Wouldn't It Be Nice lead sheet a little less cringe-worthy...
