It's Christmas Countdown Time
In which Sir Percival lets us use his piano when he's not around.

I would be remiss if I didn't include this, and the sooner the better really. Let's go all the way back to 1977 and enjoy David Bowie's surreal duet with Bing Crosby. It's just inexplicable. Bing Crosby died a month after filming this. That makes it a little bit creepy in addition to being really flippin' weird.

I like the dialogue in this one. One wonders how they managed to exchange this banter while keeping straight faces. David Bowie comes across as being culturally ignorant, and Bing Crosby condescends all over Bowie's type of music (some of it is really fine).

There are 31 days until Christmas, kids. Santa's watching you.
