Description
Jól í Latabæ display imageReleased in 2001 as a sort of 'listen-along' story album, Jól í Latabæ (Christmas in LazyTown) featured equal parts narration and holiday tunes —Some that would go on to find their way into the television version production, and a few others that certainly should have. Songs like Glanni's (Robbie Rotten) sorrowful, ‘Aleinn um jólin’.
All alone on Christmas Eve, a freezing Robbie leaves his lair and can't quite help but notice all of the warmth and festivities going on at the Mayor’s house. As he insist the rejection doesn't matter and that he's alright being by himself, Sportacus feels otherwise that no one --not even Glanni Glæpur-- should be alone on Christmas. To date, it is the only lone example of a duet done between the two of them.
"Merry Christmas, Robbie."
Want to hear this song? It is featured @ my BING BANG INTERNATIONAL LT music libraries here; Track number #16

ALEINN UM JÓLIN
(Alone on Christmas)
Glanni Glæpur og Íþróttaálfurinn (Robbie Rotten & Sportacus)
(Sportacus) You know what is said about men
who often loose their way?
When they see a light at Christmas?
You know what is said about he who
often stands alone?
That he becomes someone on Christmas.
(Robbie) No one sees me, I don’t care.
Though I see a celebration when I’m (freezing)
out here. I want to be in peace and quiet for
Christmas.
...That’s why I’m alone on Christmas.
(Sportacus) If it is true that black becomes
white. And cold becomes warm on
Christmas Eve. Then it is possible for
you to change and finally find (love) peace
on Christmas.
(Robbie) What is it to me? I’m tough!
Sneaking in the night and stealing
from you. I want to be in peace and quiet for
Christmas.
...That’s why I’m alone on Christmas.
(Together) In the town square all is still
and calm. I face towards the lights and
the fresh fallen snow.
Then I listen to the sound.
Which fills the emptiness in me
on Christmas.
(Sportacus) Do you know its message?
“You shall love your neighbor”
Throughout the year
beginning now
on Christmas.

OMG! merry christmas indeed! that is seriously THE. CUTEST. DRAWING. EVER!
i love seeing Robbie happy!!! it just makes my heart all warm and fuzzy inside!
i have that "alone at christmas" song already, and it's just so (beautifully) sad! i was a little shocked (in a good way) the first time i that heard it... like "WOW, this is from lazytown?" it's the only one i've got from the christmas cd, but i'm sure that it is the best of the bunch anyways... because Stefan's voice is just really AMAZING on it.

Yeah. It really isn't the song that you think you would hear coming out of Lazytown --- I guess that's why it inspired me so. I don't believe I was aiming for 'happy' when I drew Robbie in this one. I wanted something that suggested thought and being content.
Thank you. I'm really glad you like it

When I did this picture I was imagining a great big fluffy, worn comforter -- warm & fuzzy. Seems to have worked.

Christmas in the Summertime is always nice
Oh, poor Robbie...I really haven't seen that episode - Amazon is a month late on that delivery - but I've heard it was great. And this pic really looks like something Sportacus might do ^_______^ It really gives ya the warm fuzzies!

Shinjuchan In reply to NestTheEchidna [2006-09-07 14:24:58 +0000 UTC]
And I'm afraid you never will see it. First, because it wasn't ever a episode or even a play. It was like a 'listen along' story w/ music. But secondly because Jól í Latabæ came out wayyyy prior to the current TV series edition were all seeing on Nick Jr. The CD was available only in it's native Iceland and that been sold out now since hell froze over. ><
Still, yes. I really just thought while I was listening to it that it really would be something Sportacus might do. Poor Robbie sounded so cold the poor thing!

Not really. -- That's why I uploaded it.
P.S. I wanted to say this before but then forgot --you thought I was talking about the TV series episode 'Secret Santa' at first right? Just wondering cause you mentioned Amazon.

Wow, Sportacus looks young.. And Robbie ^w^..! LOL, you're going to be nudge by SportaRobbie fangirls soon XD;;;..

Shinjuchan In reply to Loralit [2006-09-07 14:36:44 +0000 UTC]
Thanks. I actually 'did' have it drawn up first in my traditional method that's been seen so much in the SC, but I really wanted something more cute and unique to itself so I ended up with this.
Anyhoo -- Well they can going 'nudging' all they want too.
*lol* Still .. hmmm .. I guess it does come across a tad on the 'slashy' side. I truthfully wasn't trying to be though. I just personally felt sorry for Robbie and thought he really needed a damn blanket and a cup of hot cocoa. Everyone was at the mayor's house and Íþróttaálfurinn was the only once that wasn't so he became the likely choice. ^^

Aside from that and any principals of general respect, I also –out of habit-- just don’t care to do what I see as ‘bandwagon’ subjects. For example, I avoided MegatronXStarscream slash like the fragg’in plague on the account that everyone and their nieces were either writing or drawing about it. It was blasted everywhere! When I write or draw I enjoy the sense that I’m doing something that isn’t so commonplace and right now there’s just a smorgasbord of SportaRobbie floating around.

Yeah, I know what you mean but the fandom had to be develop from some group or another D:... Yet, there are times when the fandom gets over stocked by weirdos that need to feed from it XD;... Its true! As for me, I guess was going by yaoi side... and crap, that side of myself of myself is very power to say the less D:...

Shinjuchan In reply to Loralit [2006-09-15 12:20:14 +0000 UTC]
And that's okay. I have no problem with yaoi, etc. ^^ I just don't like the mass overdose on one pairing/subject only so I'll always try my hand at doing something maybe just a lil' less common.

Yeah, lately I've heading on Hentai pairing D:.. I guess I'm extreme into hopeless romance stuff again XD;..
Current fave pairing at the moment: Sportacus/Stephanie (like duh XD), Mad Hatter/Alice (I blame *bri-chan for that) and Tamaki/Haruhi (Ouran, you gotta love it )!

Oh yes. ^^ I love his lil' jingle bobble from the plays so much that I said hell with it and put it in here. That and I went 'cute' for this rendition of them.
Oh yeah. Oh last thing -- yes. More pre-Nick jr. music yes. I'm still converting over to MP3 so just be patient with me.
