Another Musical Advent Calendar Bonus!

DateWednesday, December 15, 2010 at 8:14PM

The Bing Crosby/David Bowie Little Drummer Boy has become a classic Christmas-time video. That, of course, means it's up for satire, and Will Farrell & John C. Reilly recently put their spin on it ... almost word-for-word, up to the ending .....

The Washington Post has a good story about how the original video came to be.

(You can see previous songs in my Musical Advent Calendar here. Email me or comment below if you have a tune suggestion!)
