I utterly, utterly love Los Straitjackets' take on "The Little Drummer Boy".

I have the feeling that George R. R. Martin may have seen this movie.

I laughed out loud at the scene where Joan buys all her witching supplies as the song builds and builds towards the climax of the scene—a shiny new MasterCard being placed on the store counter.
