22 Days ‘Til Christmas!

  1. There aren’t enough drunk entertainers vamping their way through songs they clearly couldn’t give two shits about, these days. (All while never putting their cigarette down, no less.) That’s what’s *wrong* with this country, I tell you!

  2. Diego Ibarra says:

    I love how Frank’s attempt to bust Dean up laughing backfired, then later claimed both of them.

  3. I call foul. This is a winter song, not a Christmas song. It’s an odd pet peeve, that I actually wrote an article about it once, but winter songs can be played anytime, while Christmas songs are exclusive to Christmas.

    Yes, my mind works in weird ways.

  4. Black Rabbit says:

    All I have to say is, right this moment on television, Conan O’Brian is reading a copy of Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose.

    Go cry about it, Scrooge.

    I love that Dean couldn’t even be bothered to put his cigarette down, despite the fact that he’s not going to be able to smoke it while singing. Simpler times.

    I think someone lost a bet.

  8. KDBryan says:

    Thank you so much for this. That was delightful.

    This has officially bumped the Los Straitjackets surf rock cover version down to the Silver Medal version of A Marshmallow World.

    Ring-a-ding-ding.

    Nothing says how much The Tonight Show has changed in 40 years than that, right there.

    (I hope Conan will recover; it’s plainly something that shouldn’t be attempted without grain alcohol.)
