@Barney Good Lord. I remember watching this when it originally aired, and at the time I was pretty sure neither of my parents had the faintest idea who David Bowie was. Worlds collide & all that stuff.
@jst1ofknd BC Clark song was the Christmas song the marching band played in our local parade this year. Of all the Christmas songs every written that’s what they went with and you could hear people in the crowd singing the song.
Wrong season?
@Barney Besides Alice Cooper no one’s ever done much about that season.
@Barney This was one of my favs! And oh so true!
Final Bing Crosby Christmas special. David Bowie arrives at 10:16 mark.

@Barney @LaVikinga Same. I remember thinking “What the…? This is a duet I never would have imagined happening.”
@Barney @macromeh It was oddly cool to watch it and it brings back memories of when Christmas was still excitingly magical and fun.
Oh lord I hated that harmony coke commercial. In HS we made up our own lyrics to that tune. I mean…the whole stinkin’ high school did.
I’d like to build the world a home,
but where would that home go?
Another larger world I guess,
would that work,
seems like no.
I’d like to teach the world to fish,
And not just give it fish,
'Cause then it could fish,
for its own fish,
Whenever it wants fish.
I’d like to teach the world to sing
the songs of Manfred Mann.
I’d like to buy the world a Coke,
But first shake up the can.

@lseeber We usta sit around and get drunk and do that with Donnie and Marie.
Wow… some of those are a real blast from the past!
The little girl (2:12), sitting on Santa Bob Newhart’s lap, was that Melissa Gilbert of Little House on the Prairie?
