    As a long-time Hammer Films fan, I find this mildly disturbing.

      The thing is he's probably more popular now than he ever was back in the days when Hammer were pumping out a new horror flick every few days.

      After finding that video, I've discovered that he's also recorded a heavy metal concept album based on the life of Charlemagne and has done guest vocals for a number of metal outfits.

      He's even received a "Spirit Of Metal" award from Metal Hammer magazine.

      Not bad for a 92 year old.

      Keep on rockin' Sir Christopher.

      So that blind people can hate them as well.

    Come on. As if it weren't bad enough that Boris Karloff did a Children's cartoon, Basil Rathbone chased a ghost in an invisible bikini, and Peter Cushing played The Doctor.

    All my childhood idols are fallen...

    sigh

      Another old fart whingeing about how much better things were in his day.

      Step out of the way grandpa, and let us young folk have our fun.

        Wha-evah,

        Feh. We had the best schlock.

        Remember, we're the same generation that brought you 'Buck Rogers (co-starring Ming the Merciless),' 'Barbarella,' and 'Buckaroo Banzai.' Not to mention that whole 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' thing.

        Yeah. That's right. You're welcome.

    Yikes!

    I have always said that my music tastes were very eclectic and concerning Christmas music, all goes. I mean I even have a lot of country songs in my collections.

    But that, that, monstrosity won't be added.

    I'm sorry, but since you creeped me out with a Christmas song, I feel I must reciprocate...

      Why, it never was any trouble at all, Paul!

      I do have to tell you though, every time I hear Johnny Mathis singing The Christmas Song, instantaneously a picture of you Christmas shopping and singing along to that song rather loudly, flashes through my mind, lol!

    Well, that wasn't a very cheery version of Drummer Boy. I think I'll stick with the classics like the Nat King Cole and Mathis posted, along with others.
