Some holly-jolly heebie-jeebies...

Quick question: Has any YouTube vlogger ever done a second take? Just curious...

Soundbites found a yuletide offering of yore on YouTube: Cosmic Christmas, a 1977 animated special about three aliens who come to Earth looking for the meaning of the holiday and become involved in goose theft! They steal old peoples’ memories and use them to redecorate living rooms! Mars Needs Handicrafts! They look like Wise Men but are TOTALLY NOT WISE MEN. They’re more like most inane government-funded research study. “Have we come to Christmas yet?” Your intergalactic tax dollars at work.
It came from Canada! When I was a kid, Cosmic seemed to be on every channel, all the time. Why? Because people who do drugs watch TV all the time. The aliens are totally freaky. When they move they leave trails, and that one dude’s face totally changes colors and stuff. Their spaceship sounds like Keith Emerson. Pretty scary if you’re a kid, and unfortunately, by the time I got into drugs the thing was out of rotation and (perhaps because of the drugs) I had no idea what it was called.
So bravo to Bill for the nostalgia trip. You can catch Cosmic in four parts (1-2-3-4) on YouTube, or in one big chunk on Google Video. See you in the 79th Mervent!
