Scrooge’s Rock ‘N’ Roll Christmas (w/ Ken and Scott)
What’s up, dudes? I've got Ken Kessler from Sounds of Christmas and Scott Leopold from Holly Jolly X'masu here to talk the wonky version of “A Christmas Carol!” Yes, it’s “Scrooge’s Rock ’N’ Roll Christmas” starring Jack Elam and ‘60s/‘70s musical acts!
Airing in 1984, the special shows Ebenezer Scrooge in his counting house. Enigmatically, a young girl goes through an unseen time slip à la the Real Ghostbusters and winds up in his place. Subsequently, she attempts to enliven his Christmas spirit with a magical snowglobe that grants wishes. Her wish: teach Scrooge about Three Dog Night.
The rest of the show is the duo arguing about Christmas and rock and roll, and watching various bands and singers. Everyone from Merrilee Rush to Paul Revere & the Raiders show up and sing Christmas songs and carols. Mary MacGregor and Mike Love sing “Do You Hear What I Hear?” while the Association sings “Sleigh Ride.” The acts change Scrooge’s tune, and all’s well that ends well.
Bobby Goldsboro? Got him. Mike Love? Much maligned, but he’s there too. Bridget? …Bridget?!?! So hop on your sleigh. Shake your magic snowglobe and sing along to this episode on “Scrooge’s Rock ‘N’ Roll Christmas!”
