Ding dong! It's a Christmas song! (Windows Media) Günther has returned to put the tra-la-la and ding-ding-dong back into Christmas.

Hmm, lame. I can't seem to download either one. The first one just downloads a 1kb file, and the second can't be found.

How strange though, because I was just telling a friend about him the other day and had to track down a copy of his goofy video for them. Odd timing. I hope I can get these to work later.

For those having a hard time watching the video, here's a Google Video version of the "Ding Dong Song". There's also an avi version available. It's very large, though, so it might take awhile. Either should be more cross-platform friendly.

Oops. Here's the Google Video version.

Ah. Nevermind. The huge avi has parts of the video, but it's crosscut by a Rocky Horror cast mocking the video.

When Rocky Horror fans find something they can legitimately mock, then you know it's gotta be painful. ;-)

insomnia_lj: I don't think the version you linked to is the Christmastime one, is it?

Looks like the video links in the FPP are set to stream, which explains why it failed to download fully.

I used WM Recorder to download the stream for "The Christmas Song", which is now available here. (Windows Media, 3.9 MB) For those who haven't used rapidshare.de, scroll down, hit the "Free" link, and wait about 20 seconds until you get a "Start Download" button. Maybe someone else can host a Torrent for it.

Addlepated: Nope. His new song is basically a Christmas song parody based on his video for "The Ding Dong Song", which has been memed across the internet for several months already, as it's incredibly (and intentionally) eurocheesy.

You have failed to touch my tra-la-la. Abort, Retry, Fail?

This, however, was worth it.

Speaking of Christmas songs, today I heard PinkStainlessTail singing Jingle Rock Bell on the local radio, WPRB. Well, I don't know if it was PinkStainlessTail, but it certainly was Jingle Rock Bell.

I lived in Princeton for a number of years, so I find this truly hilarious and warming at the same time.
