First up, it's Scrooge's Rock 'N' Roll Christmas, a truly bizarre TV special starring western actor Jack Elam as Ebenezer Scrooge, who has to not only change his mind about Christmas but also rock 'n' roll. Will the music of Three Dog Night, Mike Love, and the mysterious Bridget change his mind? After that, it's Buckaneezer Scrooge, and you know what? Just listen to it. No description will do this absolutely baffling adaptation justice.
