Tori Amos也唱過這首歌，再另外一張Cd裡頭，那張Cd（Alternative Christmas Hits）我一直很想買到，不過大概不用心，所以一直買不到…話說回來David
Bowie這首也真夠屌的，一開始就是David Bowie式的戲劇化開場，David Bowie在鄰居家裡，一開始的門鈴聲David
Bowie去開門，而來的 Bing Crosby 卻被David Bowie誤認為新來的管家，在兩人有趣的交談之後譜出一段美麗的琴聲與歌聲…
David Bowie – 橫跨60′s,70′s,80′s,90′s至今的摩登Bowie，前兩個禮拜看電影台看到一部片裡頭赫然出現Bowie的身影，那部片叫做名模大間諜，超級搞笑的片；片子裡頭是說兩個死對頭名模一開始的諜對諜到之後的攜手共創未來…..David Bowie只出現過一下子，是在比賽時的裁判，他一出場可真是嚇了我ㄧ跳（帥到一個不行）。 題外話名模大間諜的電影原聲帶我也很想收藏說……….裡頭有Moby將Michael Jackson的 Beat It改成雷鬼….還有片尾的音樂不知是誰演繹的，那電子樂很屌…
ps. 我替朋友們查過了，名模大間諜在這個月30號21:00的CINEMAX有重播。
Bing Crosby – 橫跨20′s ~ 70′s年代的超級歌手/演員平克勞斯貝，唱過許多膾炙人口的歌曲，White
Chrismas就是他寫的；1944年得到第一做奧斯卡最佳男主角（"與我同行"與英格麗褒曼）。

DB: Hello… you’re the new butler?
BC: Hahaha! Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve been the
new anything!
DB: What’s happened to Hudson?
BC: I guess he’s changing.
DB: Yeah, he does that a lot, doesn’t he? Uhm… Oh, I’m David
Bowie, I live down the road.
BC: Oh!
DB: Sir Percival let me use his piano if he not around. He’s
not around, is he?
BC: I can honestly say I haven’t seen him, but come on in!
Come in!
DB: But uh…
BC: Come on in!
DB: Are you related to sir Percival?
BC: Well, distantly…
DB: Oh, you’re not the poor relation from America, right?
BC: Ha! Gee… news sure travels fast, doesn’t it? I’m Bing.
DB: Oh, I’m pleased to meet you. You’re the one that sings,
right?
BC: Well, right or wrong, I sing either way.
DB: Oh well, I sing too.
BC: Oh good! What kind of singing?
DB: Mostly the contemporary stuff. Do you eh… do you like
modern music?
BC: Oh, I think it’s marvelous! Some of it’s really fine.
But tell me, have you ever listened to any of the older fellows?
DB: Oh yeah, sure. I like ah… John Lennon and the other
one with eh…Harry Nilsson.
BC: Mmm… you go back that far, uh?
DB: Yeah, I’m not as young as I look.
BC: Haha, none of us is these days!
DB: In fact I’ve got a six year old son. And he really gets
excited around the Christmas holiday-thing.
BC: Do you go in for anything of the traditional things in
the… boy, household, Christmas time?
DB: Oh yeah, most of them really. Presents, tree, decorations,
agents sliding down the chimney…
BC: What??
DB: Oh, I was just seeing if you were paying attention.
BC: Haha!
DB: Actually, our family do most of the things that other
families do. We sing the same songs.
BC: Do you?
DB: Oh, I even have a go at ‘White Christmas’.
BC: You do, eh!
DB: And this one. This is my son’s favourite. Do you know
this one?
BC: Oh, I do indeed, it’s a lovely theme.
And they told me pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
A new-born king to see pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
Our finest gifts we bring pa-ram-pam-pam-pam
Ra-pam-pam-pam, ra-pam-pam-pam
Peace on Earth, can it be
Years from now, perhaps we’ll see
See the day of glory
See the day, when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again
Peace on Earth, can it be
Every child must be made aware
Every child must be made to care
Care enough for his fellow man
To give all the love that he can
I pray my wish will come true
For my child and your child too
He’ll see the day of glory
See the day when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again
Peace on Earth, can it be
Can it be
BC: It’s a pretty theme, isn’t it?
