Wizards in Winter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Wizards in Winter" is an instrumental by Trans-Siberian Orchestra, released on the 2004 album The Lost Christmas Eve. A clip of the band playing the first few seconds of the song was used in a commercial for its most recent concert tour, and the song is often used to open their live shows.
[edit] Internet phenomenon
During the 2005 Christmas season, electrical engineer Carson Williams set up a Christmas light show in the front yard, driveway, windows, and roof of his house. It took him about two months and 3,000 lights. The lights were synchronized to the song, and the show was free for anyone passing by who tuned to a specific low-power FM frequency on their car radio.
A three-minute video of the show playing circulated widely on the Internet, and also spawned many others who imitated the style of setting their Christmas lights to this and other songs. It was later adapted by Miller Brewing Company into a 30-second TV advertisement for Miller Lite that aired on U.S. stations in late 2005.[1]
This video later became available on iTunes as the music video for this song in January 2006.[2]
