30 or So Songs of Xmas #16

Picking 30 great Christmas songs is hard for me. Which reminds of a line from a song I was going to include at some point anyway.



Today's song is Bob and Doug's 12 Days of Christmas. I remember from my high school days staying up super late on Saturday nights to catch SCTV, which came on after Saturday Night Live. SCTV was a Canadian show, and Bob and Doug were originally created as a farce to fill 2 minutes of required minimum Canadian content for Canadian television. The skit became popular and wound up on the US version as well.

Bob and Doug eventually resulted in a comedy album (which this track is from) and a now classic movie. The cartoon version must have come much later.
