Is there anything weirder than an awkward pairing? Probably (as evidenced by some of the selections from this column over the past year), but nonetheless, today we have one of the more notorious examples of odd holiday bedfellows, courtesy of David Bowie and Bing Crosby, who collaborated on a peculiar duet of “Little Drummer Boy” back in 1977. It’s a remarkable segment, considering the two legends couldn’t have been more different in terms of background/style/etc., which probably explains their subtly tense (albeit polite) exchange before partaking in a somewhat surreal and cringy duet together. Check it out in all its awkward glory below. And, as a special holiday bonus, we’re including a parody of the infamous exchange by Will Ferrell and John C. Reily, which really plays up the passive-aggressive vibes to hilarious affect. Enjoy:

Takes a real wanker like Will Ferrel to ruin something classic and some entitled twat named Zach to insult it.
