if they actually sang that, it wasn't bad at all. But yea, the comedy was in the PERFECT recreation of the dialogue and mannerisms of Bing and Bowie. They both did a helluva good job! Merry Christmas to all!
A parody of my favorite Christmas song? Thought I would hate it because of Will Farrell. My respect for Farrell has gone up a couple of notches. (still in negative territory, though)
hehe that's just like the real thing between Bing Crosby and David Bowie until the end. I'm going to play both of them simutaniously to see if they can match.
*shudders* then *laughs* Creepy-Weird...! Anything with Will Ferrell is funny to me. Ha ha...! I've only watched clips of the original and I'm going to watch it now. Merry Christmas everyone!
@edwardburdsall It was the other way around, Bing never heard of Bowie. I wonder if he would agree to all this if he did. Anyway, Ziggy was the early seventies, the duet was '79 I think.
@ArranoGris The original was already a little bizarre, especially when you were a kid back then, like me. These two just bring the weird out by recreating it.
That was funny. Can I die now? Seriously, that was good. I'm off to listen to the original...thanks for the memories (oh, that was Bob) Merry Christmas!!
The comedy is in how accurate they are recreating it from the way they are dressed to Bing's stupid laugh... O&A bought this to my attention. Very Funny
@oilthatgate What makes it funny is just how similar it is to the real version, down to the facial expressions and such, that's all. It's subtle. :) Will Ferrell's accent is funny too.
first of all, John C. Reilly, what a magnificent voice
and second. david bowie would probably do exactly what Will Ferrell does at the end haha
