Friday Afternoon Videos: White Christmas

We know, it’s not Friday, but Houstonist is in the holiday spirit, and we received several good holiday-video requests, so we decided to extend Friday Afternoon Videos for the whole week this week. (Plus, it’ll help everyday seem like Friday!)

We want to thank Houstonist Flickr Photo Group member Jeff Balke for telling us about this video last month. Going lounge seems to be the thing to do if you’re an aging rock star. But who’d thought that punk rocker Billy Idol would be doing the same so soon? His version of “White Christmas” is a far cry from “White Wedding.” Actually, it’s not too bad. We think that Dean Martin’s soul must have finally found a home in Idol – but Billy kept his sneer and cat-just-ate-the-canary grin for himself.
