Many people know this as the "Porky Pig" version of Blue Christmas. The vocalist on this recording is none other than Dennis (Denny) Brownlee. The recording started with two DJ's named John Boy and Billy. John suggested Denny record a Christmas song, and they decided to record Denny singing in the style of Porky Pig. After the record started getting airplay locally, it took off and sold a few thousand copies. Fast forward almost 3 decades and the song is both revered and hated all over the internet. Most versions of the recording found online chop off the introduction and speed the recording up considerably. Here, at the proper original speed, is the original full recording of Blue Christmas, as released by Seymour Swine And The Squeelers. I've had this video sitting around for a few years. I meant to post it back when I had created it, but I never got around to it...until now. I actually love this recording a lot. Sure, it's a far cry (literally) from anything I've ever posted, or will probably ever post again, but bear with me. If you don't like it, don't listen to it. Surprisingly enough, though, I have played this disc a number of times on my shows at
