Some people hang the holly, others decorate the tree, and a few even terrorize the neighborhood with off-key caroling.
Not us.
Here at Quick Stop Entertainment, we’re celebrating the holiday season by giving a little something back to you, our readers (you know who you are).
Every weekday leading up to the holiday break, we’ve got uber-exclusive gifts provided by a whole range of artists, actors, comedians, and studios. One a day, straight from them to you (and you can check out last year’s fun here).
Ain’t that cool?
Today we’ve got an exclusive holiday tune from Neil Innes and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.
It was during the Jurassic period (the late ’60s) that Neil was a member of the legendary Bonzo Dog Doo Dah-Band, madcap purveyors of esoteric music (Who else would revive music hall standards in the age of rock? They did it, and it worked!). Their biggest hit was the deceptively poignant “I’m the Urban Spaceman” (While the credited producer on that track was one “Apollo C. Vermouth,” he’s better known as Paul McCartney… Sir Paul McCartney, these days).
Well, it’s 30 years later, and the Bonzos are back with a new album – Pour L’Amour Des Chiens.In fact, Neil sent us over an exclusive preview track from the album – “Scarlet Ribbons”, performed by Bonzo Vernon Dudley Bohay-Nowell – just for all of you Quick Stoppers. Be sure to head over to the official site, www.bonzodog.co.uk, to snag your own copy of the album.

I just discovered “Scarlet Ribbons” – and it is absolutely gorgeous! I hope I’m not supposed to be laughing; actually, my eyes are sorta damp. Thank you for a magical moment. Seriously.
