“Real humans. Really singing. Sometimes out of tune, but we try our best” – That’s the tagline for University of Illinois’ Ring-A-Carol Hotline. Returning for its 60 year, you can call 217-332-1882 from December 10 to 17 to have one of 9 songs, listed below, sung to you. The pandemic has changed things a bit, so the songs were pre-recorded.
The line is open 24 hours and they get calls from all 50 states as well as around the world. They logged over 8,000 calls last year from children to adults of all ages.
The nine pre-recorded songs you can choose from include:
- All I want for Christmas Is You (Mariah Carey)
- You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch
- Last Christmas
- Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer
- Jingle Bell Rock
- Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer
