What Do You get a Wookie for Christmas?
What can you get a wookie for christmas, when he already owns a comb?
What can you get in a hurry for a furry kind of friend like that to take home?
Let’s give him love and understanding, good will to men,
wrap it all up in bright colored ribbon and give it to him all over again!
This is the most impressing song in the infamous 1980 album “Christmas in the Stars” which features not only Anthony Daniels reprising his role as C-3PO, but also the first recording of Bon Jovi, credited as “John Bongiovi”. It’s not easy to listen to this compositions from Yale University professor Maury Yeston – especially the beeping and distorted voices of the droids are really annoying. But try to get one of the rare copies – ranging between $ 50 and $ 200 for yourself. Amazon link here.

May I present to you “Fugly Duckling”: “Our bottom line is fun! Were not going to be the next Metallica, so we go out there and kick ass having fun. We are the formula for the Ultimate All American Band, two of us are active duty air force, all four of us love Star Wars. We drink blue, we sweat white and we bleed red.”
Actually there was an All-American Band and none of them were active duty officers. I further like the patriotic ambition to align your metabolism to the colors of your nation’s flag. I drink black, I sweat red and I bleed gold!

100 Worst Cover Songs
Robert Berry runs retroCRUSH.com – a website that has recently celebrated its 5th birthday on the 22th of June and is always worth a visit. Oh, and retroCRUSH’s got a podcast, too. Robert published a list of the 100 Worst Cover Songs ever and really collected 100 examples, most of them with YouTube clips. The title above is number 100 and it’s the plain truth – no photoshopping! You can hear a sound example here:
Don’t forget to visit #93 “I Am The Walrus” by Jim Carrey, #65 “You Really Got Me” by Sanjaya Malakar, #43 “I Saw Her Standing There” by Kids Incorporated or #22 “My Generation” by Hillary Duff. (She really sings “I hope I DON’T die before I get old.” If I were Pete Townshend, I’d personally torture here with her own records until she goes mad. No, too fast… )
