Roboty Christmasy Celebration: Day 4 of 6
Today marks the beginning of the second half of the special Roboty Christmasy posts here on You Sound Like A Robot. This and the following two entries shall be transfered to your brain stem via the interwebz at rapid succession: one today, one on Christmas Eve, and a final entry on Christmas Day. Day number four of our hoilday-rific celebration is brought to you by two legends: David Bowie and Bing Crosby. The two recorded a song combining the classic Christmas song “Little Drummer Boy” and a newly written tune designed for Bowie titled “Peace on Earth”. The arrangement originally aired on the ’77 special Bing Crosby’s Merrie Olde Christmas…

Bing died just a month after the song was recorded. The track was later released as an LP and has since become a staple for Christmas radio and compilations. Though the song combines two quite different artists, it somehow fits. Enjoy the track, below the ads…
