Wake Me Up Before It Snow, Snows

Wake Me Up Before It Snow, Snows

Posted by Lisa Christiansen on Dec 16, 2009

I know Christmas music has already been a big topic of conversation on the blog. But what about Christmas videos? If the song is big and cheesy already,  the video is going to be just that much better, right?

And for the perfect classic nasty/good one, I would have to vote for Wham’s “Last Christmas.” This has everything: fake snow, friends and love – poor George, pretending to be hot for this second rate Lisa Bonet. Had to be rough.

But then again not quite as tough as seeing yourself with that hair, and I’m not being specific here; no one gets out of this video unscathed – male or female. I’m glad I can not recall a time when exchanging his and hers broaches was a good idea.

If you’ve got any favourite bad Christmas videos, do share. CBC Radio 3 blog editor John Paolozzi was supposed to join me for Missing Links today but is sickly. So we’ll have some joy to send his way when he returns.

    Hard to top WHAM! I'm not even going to try. I even thought about it for awhile... They take the cake.

    I see Lisa Bonet bumming around the streets of Vancouver every so often, she must live here or something, but it's always in the winter, our crummiest season!

    Oh yeah, but as for videos, Run DMC's "Christmas in Hollis" (as featured in the classic Christmas movie, DIE HARD) is my personal fave.

    Sorry, this needed to be done properly. It's an edit of some Star Trek TNG episodes with dubbed-over dialogue that completlly different to what the characters are actually saying, yet looks like it'd be just what the characters are saying.

    Peovincial Pronounciation

    I would just like to state that I never chastise anybody for mispronouncing Newfoundland.  In fact, many Newfoundlanders mispronounce Canada.  They pronounce it like this:

    The Mainland.

    ;)

    Love it. I don't think I can top "Last Christmas" either.

     

    I know Canada doesn't have Target stores, but have you seen their weird "recession-busting" ads this Christmas? Very surreal. Especially the one with parents arguing in front of their kid about what "Santa" could purchase this year.
