Bob and Doug McKenzie do The 12 Days of Christmas...plus a bit of the new Canadian TV cartoon series. For those unfamiliar (maybe too young...), Second City TV (70s/80s) was produced in Canada and had to kowtow to a regulation about having Canadian content. Regulars Dave Thomas (not the Wendy’s guy) and Rick Moranis (before he “shrunk the kids”) said, “What, do you want to have 2 minutes of guys drinking beer, wearing toques, and
frying backbacon?” Thus the idea.
The regular sketches got good response and soon there was an album, Great White North, which featured the hit single Take Off! (feat. Geddy Lee of Rush) and this version of “12 Days of Christmas”. On the album version there’s a bit more dialogue at the end (”Now, that was a beauty. It...it MOVED me.” “Yeah, I think it’s right up there with...Stairway to
Heaven.”) There also was a movie, Strange Brew.
