25 Days or Less of Christmas Songs - #16: The Twelve Days of Christmas

Released on their 1981 album The Great White North, Bob and Doug McKenzie's version of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" has since become the definitive version of the classic Christmas song. It's a real beauty, eh? I mean, you can't even turn on the CBC these days without hearing it between hockey games. I was going down the road the other day to get a two four of Molson, right, and some buddy was like, "hey, you ever hear the version of "Twelve Days of Christmas" with John Denver and the Muppets?" And I was like, "take off, you hoser." That's a true story, eh.

Thank you for using "eh" properly. I hate it when people throw it on anywhere, thinking that canadians just throw it out there in any old fashion. THere are RULES you know! But, of course you do, because YOU are canadian. THe end.

I'm not convinced that Keith S. knows what a 2-4 is.

I wonder what the world would have been like had they made that planned sequel to Strange Brew a couple years ago?

Not to risk hyperbole, but surely it would have prevented the current economic collapse, cured cancer, shot Ann Coulter in the face, and ushered in a new era of enlightenment. Just a guess though.
