Oh, Magoo.
“Oh, Magoo. Once again, you’ve mistaken something for something.”
– Homer Simpson
The holiday season means plenty of holiday music. Everywhere. You can’t get away from the stuff. There’s Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas,” Elvis Presley’s “Blue Christmas,” Johnny Mathis’ “Do You Hear My Tremolo,” that God-awful Mariah Carey Christmas album, The Vienna Boys Choir of Repeated Head Trauma’s “Little Drummer Boy” – and if I have to hear Jessica Simpson and her hubby butcher “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” one more time, I may go nuts with a weedwhacker.
So, I’m doing my best to contribute to the insanity.
It’s a well-known tradition that every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings.
It’s a lesser-known tradition that every time Jim Backus sings, an angel denounces God and His works and is cast down from Heaven to spend eternity in the Inferno.
This means that Cartoon Network’s Christmas programming is directly responsible for the increase of evil in the world, as they have insisted upon showing Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol in which the lovable ol’ blind coot goes through the whole Ebenezer Scrooge shtick – complete with original musical numbers.
And, for your listening pleasure (and the increase of evil in the world), Your Pal Doug – who routinely offers out-of-print vinyl as free mp3 downloads – will give you a complete mp3 copy of Mister Magoo’s Christmas Carol – the original motion picture soundtrack.
Hurry up and snag it now – I don’t know when he’s going to change it out.
