Because it’s Christmas-time, and because I like strange and silly and obscure Christmas music — like the conversation I had yesterday about The Royal Guardsmen and “Snoopy’s Christmas” — I thought it only fair to point out a Christmas song that I’ve liked since I first heard it.<\/p>\n

It’s “Winter Wonderland,” done in the style of Led Zeppelin’s “Misty Mountain Hop.”<\/p>\n

The musical duo behind this completely mental — and completely entertaining — admixture is Fleming & John<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When I first heard the song three years ago, after I’d moved to Baltimore, the song was easily found on their website. Alas, no longer.<\/p>\n

Some may find it surprising that I like the song, since I’m not really a Zeppelin fan. I mean, I have their CDs, and I listen to them occasionally, but that’s about it. Really, if I want to listen to “Stairway to Heaven,” I’d probably listen to this version:<\/p>\n
