Episode 12: Rock & Roll and Puppets
Description
Alright, it's time to talk about the two weirdest Christmas Carols of the '80s. First up, it's Scrooge's Rock 'N' Roll Christmas, a truly bizarre TV special starring western actor Jack Elam as Ebenezer Scrooge, who has to not only change his mind about Christmas but also rock 'n' roll. Will the music of Three Dog Night, Mike Love, and the mysterious Bridget change his mind?
After that, it's Buckaneezer Scrooge, and you know what? Just listen to it. No description will do this absolutely baffling adaptation justice.

Quick correction: I blamed Mike Love for the added lyrics to Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, but as VanityWilde pointed out, the Carpenters did them first.
