Only John - I'm sorry, his stage name was Chase Bottom and mine was Hat Thomas, thus the band name - knew which Beatle it was and he wasn't telling. Not even sure which instrument he played, but I played guitar and John played guitar and piano. I woke up laughing my ass off. Hands down the most hilarious dream I've ever had.

absolutely dead on, I was 15 back in "77" when the original aired and was a fan of both Bing and David it became one of my most favorite holiday songs Will and Johns timing is impeccable even the set was constructed with a lot of prop duplicates i overlaid the original and played them together... very nicely done I was unaware of both John and Wills singing ability Will needs to do Ziggy next

I remember watching Bing and Bowie do this when I was a kid. Even then, I was durprised at how tender the pairup was and how t hey didn't play it for laughs. This tribute to them is just as tender and is played nearly as straight, except for the end. It is actually quite poignant and touching.

I appreciate that they performed this with respect. Good work, gentlemen. Bing Crosby was the best american singer, ever.

I saw Bowie live around 30 years ago when he played all of his back catalogue from the 70s and 80s one last time. Each and every performance was a chart hit. A body of work that was sheer brilliance.

If you want to see more of John C Reilly's talent, you can hear him sing in the movie Chicago where he really excels with his singing talent.
