Thin White Christmas



Around 1:28-1:38 Bing has a couple of "What the fuck am I doing?" moments, but puts all his reservations aside and slays the perennial holiday classic with the Thin White Duke himself. By slay I mean that no one ever needs to do this song again. Ever. "What about a band who wants to liven up a show during the holiday season with a cover?" Stand there and put the CD on. Don't say anything, don't play anything. Just stand there and shut up. Probably the only Xmas song I can hear more than once during the season and not feel like smashing the speakers to bits.

Saw this for the first time: Bowie sings ""Heroes"" on the same holiday special. He puts his mime training to good use here, by making love to himself in-between his own face(s). This would be cooler if it wasn't basically a rip off of the promotional video for the single.
