Haha, funny "White Christmas" Billy Idol parody. I'm guessing this isn't somebody I'd know...

New to me as well, but didn't Mr Idol actually do his own parody?
Dunno, didn't sound like him to me. Or maybe you just mean he's a parody of himself...

well, he did do the tune on his Xmas album, but he didn't didn't make the "White Wedding" connection, sadly, which at least would've been amusing.

Turns out the White Christmans/Wedding mashup was by December People, a bunch of Bay area based sidemen that are headlining the SoundwavesTV holiday special. So a little gratuitous self-promotion there from DW. Song was OK, not BOS though.

And speaking of DW, he mangled Kirsty MacColl's name in the backsell -- pronounced it "Kristy" (like that's never happened before, but still...)
Let's get right to it.
