Bob Hope :: New Years Day


Squeaking this in on the last day of January... Procrastination! It's probably my biggest flaw. Another track off the Bob Hope Holidays record.

Coming up next is a really cool record of Bob Hope and Bing Crosby On The Vacation Road To Minnesota. I know right? Cool!

Song posted very soon!

Christmas TV Burnout!

Happy New Year everyone! Well another Christmas has come and gone... Bummer eh? Now that all of you have put away your Christmas music collections, I have finally got this mix together and posted it. If you don't get it now, I'll make sure it is still posted next Christmas. I hope you enjoy it. I've picked my favorite clips and arranged them in an order that seems to make sense. Now it's back to trying to fix all of these broken links. Wish me luck.

Christmas at the Clampetts



Alright. It's almost Christmas and I didn't get through as many Christmas sitcoms as I wanted to so I'm going to have to start posting these in rapid-fire mode... This is a really funny episode, but most of it's spent talking about a boat and a TV that Mr. Drysdale gives them for Christmas. Granny and the gang can't figure out for the life of them what they are for. Not a lot of soudbytes.

Bob Hope :: Christmas Day


Ahhh. My first record share in about two years... Feels good... I'll start posting more again soon. I'm just not set up for it right now. After Christmas I want to get back to at least one record a month. This first record is from Bob Hope and it's called Holidays from 1973. Each track is about a particular holiday so I decided to share one called Christmas Day. Some great Bob Hope stand-up comedy about old Hollywood. Enjoy.

It seems he just can't get it together because he is so sad that the kids in his depressed neighborhood never get a Merry Christmas. He gets kicked out of his local bar, shit-canned from his job, and with his last hope, he wishes he could make the people in his neighborhood happy even if it's for one day. Soon after he finds the real Santa's bag and becomes a real Kris Kringle.
