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.
