OK, Music Choice, stop freaking me out man. I just checked the track listing of "Holly Dolly" and saw that "Peace on Earth" was the next track I'd be writing about. So Bing's Pah-Rum-Pum-Pum-Pums popped in my head and not 20 seconds later the classic Crosby track "The Little Drummer Boy" was playing on my TV. Time Warner has really come a long way with their DVR technology - now it's reading my mind.
I can no longer hear Pah-Rum-Pum-Pum-Pum without thinking of my friend and colleague Nick St Angelo. He's been a bit punch-drunk since the birth of his baby girl, a condition which I anticipate replicating very soon. Apparently he threw on the VH1 Classic in a haze one sleep-deprived night and saw this video. I imagine that it would have freaked me out, as well.
And so... our first Video Daily Double!
Bowie would wait nearly 30 years to find a way to top this landmark TV appearance. But somehow, he found a way, thanks to a little fat man with a pug-nosed face. No, not Santa Claus, but Ricky Gervais.
As a side note, Erin chose the track listing and I merely put them together in the order in which she wrote them down. I think it turned out great. Pah-Rum-Pum-Pum-Pum!
