    That had to have been the funkiest Silent Night I'd ever heard, but I don't think they quite pulled it off. The gravitas of the original is kind of hard to turn funky. That looks like a local production up in Milwaukee or something (given the Wisconsin shirt a kid was wearing).

    The Little Drummer Boy is more believable, since I've heard enough different versions of the song that it fits better.

      The clip is from Chic-a-Go-Go which, as you might guess from the name, comes from Chicago. It is (Or was, I assume, although the Wikipedia article talks about it in the present tense.) a children's dance show that airs (Or aired...) on public access cable in Chicago in the nineties (And who knows, maybe does still, although I very much doubt it.)

      Public access cable is a great source of weird music clips on YouTube.

      At least in Cincinnati, if you lived within city limits you could sign up to take a course on video production using public access cable equipment; the idea was that the general public could create local content that would be viewed by the same community. My wife took the class when we lived within city limits, but then we moved outside of the city so she was unable to take advantage of these capabilities.

      As you've guessed, the quality of public access is all over the place, both to its detriment and to our amusement.
