It's only 2 hours a night on weekends to minimize traffic in the neighborhood. If you want to see the show in person, please visit / magicallightshows for the address and schedule!

This is hands down the best sequence I've ever seen in pixels. The separation between the different elements picking up all the different instruments and rhythms, the house outlines playing with tempo, the use of color to convey the calm dry feel of the verses then the break to color swirls for the chorus - and when the candy canes came in for the little keyboard riffs I almost exploded. So, so, so well done.
And for the first time I actually want 30k pixels and hundreds of props. Damn.
Agree 100%.
Agreeeeed!
*I Went to GEICO and got MORE!*
If memory serves me, I think the one I was most impressed with was Enter Sandman by Metallica . . . It’s hard to remember, I binged on these a couple weeks ago. 😂😂
I was trying to say that too but you articulated that much better than I ever could.
Ok, did anyone notice that the Christmas tree blinks while he’s waiting for his next verses?! Amazing!
Ha that’s cool. Never noticed that
He's cute💗
The blinking eyes on the halloween pumpkins during the Metallica song were epic as well!
Wow, didn't notice...
The software allows you to set eye blinking to “auto” haha
You’ve won the Xmas light wars again.
He also did a metallica song with the same lights. It seems he changes up the song every week.

He Really Is Good, But That Electrical Bill Is HIGHHHHHHHHHHHH
@@amandakochmit8820
Anyone who puts lights up has a higher electric bill. But this is LED so they don't use as much power as regular lights. So may not be as high as you think.
@@amandakochmit8820
LED lights use 1/10 the power of CFL lights.
It’s crazy how you can feel nostalgia for an era you didn’t live through.
You did, just in another body...
@@mikej6565 A female is born with all the eggs they will ever have. So technically, we are all as old as the day our mothers were born. I'm 28 but the egg that made me has been in existence since the 1960's. Just a random fun fact I thought I'd share. :)
I really miss the 80’s. At least this is the next best thing. Great job you did.
sooo... its not just me having a flashback then?
...oh thank god...
I grew UP in the 80's. This song came out when I was a little kid in the 80's
Still a favorite 80's song!! Gorgeous show!! Talented person!!!
2020 isn't all bad now that we have this video.
Ikr
*I Went to GEICO and got MORE!*
❤
Lol I agree
Uh sorry but the 80s and 90s and 70s music sound way better than now believe me the ones back in those times actually had the sounds unlike the ones we have now you can actually tell the difference.
that Spiral effect on the tall tree is gorgeous.
My God I read your comment before I saw what you were referencing. I am betting this video doesn’t do it full justice, yet it looks amazing. That and the equalizer on the garage!
That's one way to say that it looks like crap, but the tree is still decent.
Agreed. But I love the 'singers' above the garage, too!✌😺

lol
The fact that the singing Christmas tree even blinks with his eyes really freaks me out.
It's OK, you're having a flashback
@@MAILLADY2010 Lol😂😂😂
Awesome! Now if you could do Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded me with Science" or Toto's "Africa" You'd have a Fan for Life!! 👍😎
YOERICK
Great song choices. I agree.
Yes!!
Oh, man. "She Blinded Me with Science" has so many interesting possibilities with those lights.
@@terrib627 I know, that's what I was thinking! LOL! 🤣
This is awesome I think alot of people will appreciate this 👍 love the 80s classics.
The only song that was successful for them
I am glad that this happens every year at this house. At least they brought the 80s back where it was a bit more peaceful. This is something I think we all need right now.
Half my my brain: 😳How does this magic work? How do you choreograph this awesomeness?
Other half of brain: 🤨Hush Janey, let's not let logic ruin the magic!
This is one of those things I'm pretty sure the behind-the-scenes stuff could only make better!
It’s not that hard, if you know assembly code.
@@rmcgraw7943 It's done in Assembler language? Well, roll me out and call me a biscuit. I actually took Assembler back in the Cretaceous period. I would have paid more attention if I'd known this was what I could do with it.
@@rmcgraw7943 I'm not tech savvy at all.. 😆
@@terrib627 I'm just happy when I plug in my strand of Christmas lights and they all light up.🤣
When a Concert lighting specialist is bored:
NO SHIP
😂😂 yeag!
Oh wow. Three for three this year with my favourite things!💜 P.S. I adore the singing trees, but the bouncy arches at the front fence line are my favourite, every time.
I also LOVE the mini trees!!! But, the garage door and the big tree are just sooooo cool.
@@itchyprince3793 Agreed, it's all so epic - the garage door portraits on the Avengers one blew me away. But the front arches are just so catchy and stimmy, I could watch them for hours. LOL
Mine too
@@JustAnotherBuckyLover yeah me too 😂🤣😂 they’re just so mesmerizing
Well that had my feet tapping within seconds, that tree is an awesome singer.
"Ok, we need to pick the Christmasiest song we can think of for this light display."
"Hmm....Ah Ha!"
"Perfect!"
"No, no, that's not the song. I-"
"TAAAAKE OOOON MEEEE!"
*I Went to GEICO and got MORE!*
That had me wondering as well. It's just a light show during the holiday season and not so much a "Christmas" light show.
No more Christmas music!!!!!! This is perfect. Christmas music has been on since Oct 31st. So sick of it. This still gives you your Christmas but limits the corny music
Every question I had about "how is he gonna do THIS part of the song" was answered in spectacular fashion.
This is utterly amazing. I love how well everything syncs up, the use of colour, and especially the effects for the vocalists! The tree spiral is amazing too!
Oh the 80’s. All the neon. Love it.
Cool!! This is one of my favorite 80s song!!
Best Song of The 80s! Jolly Good Show.
😆👏
If I lived in that neighborhood, I SWEAR I'D BE OUTSIDE DANCING TO THIS! COOLEST LIGHT DISPLAY EVER!
Just stunning, no other words for it! Respect from the UK!
Can we PLEASE go back to the 80's?? Awesome display!!! Garage door synthesizer woohoo!!
wow! I wasn't born in the 80s but the vibes on this is nostalgic.
This is the coolest Christmas music display ever made!!
The 80's best decade ever!
I am a self confessed underwhelmed guy nothing usually impresses me but I have to say I was smiling allot at this. Well done great house and light show ✌
I absolutely flat-out love these light shows!!!!!🥰🥰
Never a dull moment at this house😁
Thank you for putting smiles on people's faces after such a crazy year!
Поющие ëлки это просто шедеврально! Глаз не оторвать!
Brilliant.. Wasn't expecting a 3rd light show for Christmas 2020. You have out done yourself this year. Thank you.
Best channel CZcams has ever recommended to me! You know what would be an amazing one to do is The Finale Countdown especially as 2020 comes to an end everyone will be happy
OMGosh, this made my day. One of my favorite songs. 🥰🥰🥰
I remember when this song came out on MTV, I still like it & your light show makes it more enjoyable.
WOW, THE DETAILS. AMAZING 😍
Awesome video for this fantastic song!
You: Sleeping
The Lights: TAKEEEEEEEE MEEEEEEEEE ONNNNNNNNNNNNN!
*DED*
Ok, now I'm just waiting for him to rick roll us.
Puleeeeeasssse
Yes, it would be so funny, and maybe during one specific filming the owner is outside dancing
And we would enjoy it.
I don't think people understand how much work these takes
Greetings from Germany... thats amazing 🤩
Tom,
You are the hero 2020 needed!!
Love the Christmas tree back up singers, hilarious!
alright, now this one. 10/10 for song, 10/10 for execution
Amazing beautiful and lovely, 😍👏🏻👌🏻one of my favorite songs
I told my wife we are doing Christmas lights like that i don't care what it costs
Gl dude
The 8 moving spotlights on the roof alone run right around $10,000. Guessing you'll need another $2000 in controller hardware. The rest is peanuts in comparison.
@@n0esc Exactly. And I'm pretty sure you need some kind of special permission to use those spots as they are CLEARLY large and bright enough to mess with air traffic.
What did she say after she stopped laughing? 😁
@@jeffjames4064 "I want a divorce."
Perfect ♥ I love that song and been 25 years since I hear it last. Time flies!
The tall tree's spiral & the singing face! lol
I love the Hamilton light show they did!!! Sooo awesome!!
serotonin on it’s highest level
How can a complete stranger make me so happy!😍😍😍😍😍😍😂😂😂😂😂💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
Perfect for this year Rest in piece
Idk if its just me but this Rolling tree 🌲make me laugh so much 🤣
Thank you for working so hard to bring people joy.
This light show is phenomenal!!!
The singing trees kill me. Very nice!
That's what I call rocking out I vote for you too win👍🌟🌟🌟
Gotta love those 80s love that song also
Never knew A-Ha had a Christmas album!!
Who are these genius ppl???? Amazing
This is the best thing I have seen this year.
Thank you so much. Your light shows are awesome. I'm passing them on
This is the coolest way of getting in the spirit thank you I appreciate you!!!
Brilliant lovely song As others have said the tree spiral and the graphic equaliser on the garage doors are the best!
Wow.
Didn't know how much I needed that.. but I'm still Smiling!
I literally thought about this song yesterday.. and it's why I played this to begin with.
But this is AmaZing! It reminds me of when I was a kid growing up in a small college town.
One of the professors at the university would synchronize his outdoor Christmas lights with Christmas carols and hymns!
The off duty police would have to direct traffic around his neighborhood from dusk to midnight because folks would come from everywhere to see his Show.
Thanks. I needed that. Gr8! Vid.. even gr8!r memories 🤗!
Blessings & Happy Christmas 🕊!
This video alone just turned 2020 around!
Hi Tom. I am a Norwegian and you are the most amazing man ever. And this effort to fund an embrace for families - yes I subscribed. This is magnificent in every possible way.
Both of my favorite things.. holiday lights and 80s music!
The tree with the tooth..... lol
I love it
Great job
A beautiful take on a song that warns of the dangers of Scandanavian Motorcross Gangs!
今年もありがとう！
That was extremely awesome! I loved the fact that it wasn't your typical Christmas song! You did an amazing job. Keep up the excellent work!!
I was having such a bad day, and this just turned it all around. Thanks for making this world a more fun and brighter place!
The good ole days when you could walk around as you pleased without a mask!!
Wow... Somebody is really involve into Christmas decoration. I love it.
That is FANTASTIC!! One of the BEST ever!
Whoever did this just saved 2020
Amazing, Xcellent, Marry Happy Enlightened Christmas to all !!!
Extraordinary. Greatest Christmas
Great idea to associate this music on this show ! My daugther and I love this music !!! Thank you from Montpellier, France.
Wow.... Amazing job and love the singing tree's.... Would love to even have the strip lighting.
This song perfectly fits light strings
Thank you so much for this upload. Not to mention it's gorgeous but then again so is Morten Harket of A-ha. Perfect choice!!
I really like the fade out at the end. Cool
Was waiting for the Christmas tree to pull me through the screen and go off on an epic chase...
Am I imagining things or does the singing tree in the far left window have a tooth? Just one tooth?
He does...🤣
How many teeth do trees NORMALLY have?!?
And the middle tree has mean looking eyes.
Kinda reminds me of meatwad!
With all these elements, I had to watch a number of times to catch them all. Thanks for pointing them out. 😄
This is my favorite one of my favorite songs Love it !!!! You're a treasure sir
Yes sir!!!! Love this song!!!!!!
Thank you. Absolutely beautiful.
Simply put. Just friggen amazing. 😯😯😯
I love this song! ❤️
Awesome! Great song choice!
I can’t wait to see what he does this year in 2021
They've actually got this wired up to their neighbour's bed-side light switch.
I really needed to see something this awesome right now. 🎄
You know it's been a rough year when an Aha lightshow makes me tear up. I hope we can come see it in person, but happy to donate for all your creativity.
Best time of the year !
Ahhh Vegas at night...wait thats not the Billagio? Lol...nice job homeowners for making me smile 😃
So glad that this is not the house next door... but man, that's awesome!
