Ah, the Blue Christmas, Porky Pig version. Long before 24x7 Christmas programming on radio stations for a couple of months (yes, that is a thing here in the States), that Porky Pig version of the song would occasionally be heard on Top 40 and Rock radio stations. Aha! Just found the source. I knew it was a comedian, but I didn't know who. It was Denny Brownlee on a Birmingham, Alabama radio show: Porky Pig's Blue Christmas - The Birmingham News.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I'd forgotten what the Elvis version sounded like, so hearing Tiger La Flor was a breath of fresh air.
I didn't realize it was a knock-off Porky! I thought it was the genuine article. Also, not at all known over here, so it was completely new to me.
