Christmas Music Advent Calendar Day 5: (Swayze Edition)

We've been talking about Christmas music for a few days now, and I'm sure you have your favorites. White Christmas. All I Want For Christmas is You. Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer.

And those are great, sure. They're classics for a reason! But..... There are plenty of great songs out there for Christmas that are just...not right. But they're so not right, they're perfect.

One of my favorite television programs of all time is a little thing called Mystery Science Theater 3000. If you haven't heard of it, you probably aren't friendly with me. I'm just saying. I've loved this show since 1991. I was all of eleven years old and my life changed for the better. It's smart, it's fun, and it's just perfect for someone like me.

I have several of the shows on DVD and on an external hard drive... and VHS. Yes, and I still keep them. I also will put on an episode at night from time to time when I go to sleep. I LOVE THIS SHOW. I think we're clear. It ended about 1998 after a few incarnations. There have been a few spin offs, and now there's a reboot on Netflix that's pretty good.

Here's one of my favorite segments from the first era, known as the "Joel Years." You don't need to know much about the actual show to enjoy the song. It's self explanatory. But if you do wanna know about the show, there's a pretty good Wiki article about it.

Anyway, this show and this song I have told you about before, because, well, it's great, and I think you should listen to it again. You don't have to, but... I think you should.

"What, like a good action sequence don't belong at Christmas?"

Have a Patrick Swayze Christmas,
