Do They Know It's Advent?

Word Magazine's Advent Calendar.The Man in Black in a field of white. Diana + (Flo and Mary) in Santa hats. "Weird Al"'s post-apocalyptic Xmas. Thin Pistols/Sex Lizzy serenade Kenny Everett. Grace Jones uncrated for Pee Wee. And that's just the first five days.

3. "Weird Al" Yankovic, with a number he probably came to regret as time passed.

No, I think he's still prouder of that one than this one.

Thanks, the sobsister, that's a great find.

Also, in reference to the Thin Lizzy/Sex Pistols thing, can someone explain Kenny Everett to me? He seems to have had Britain in some horrible fake boobs vise lock around 1980.

This is the best. Sending it to my kid who is far away. Thanks.

God almighty did that Tom Waits Christmas song bring a surge of joy to my wizened heart.
