00:00The

00:30Good evening, and welcome to London's world-famous Christmas squad.

00:38Tonight, Herb and I will be your hosts on a...

00:40On a tour through the magical musical world of Christmas carols.

00:45We're going to hear some really wonderful music.

00:48Right, Rex?

00:49Thank you, Herb.

00:51Thematically speaking, we'll be looking at Christmas carols as they relate to specific traditions of...

00:57Yeah, songs about Christmas, trees and stacks of gifts, reindeer and jingling bells, holiday ballets, Santa Claus, universal joy, and Christmas snacks.

01:07There is not a carol about snacks.

01:10First up is that beautiful and haunting American classic, We Three Kings, composed around 1857.

01:19Here we come, a waffling, a wanna-lisa green.

01:23Here we come, a waffling, so fair to be seen.

01:26Love and joy come to you, and to you you're waffled, too.

01:30Pardon me, pardon me, but you're making a lyrical error in that fine old Christmas carol.

01:36Now, the key word, my good fellows, is waffling, not waffling.

01:41Well, uh, what the heck's waffling?

01:43Uh, waffling, yes.

01:45You know, she's so smart. What's a waffle?

01:46Yeah, I thought it was waffling.

01:48Uh, hers?

01:48No, it tastes like waffling.

01:50Ooh, ooh, and I want one with extra butter, please.

01:54Uh, anyway, uh, We Three Kings, based on the journey of Kings Melchior, Caspar, and Balthasar.

02:02We Three Kings of Orient are Bearing gifts we travel so far

02:21Field and Fountain, Moor and Mountain, following yonder Star of Night.

02:33Star of Wonder, Star of Night, Star with Royal Beauty bright.

02:40Westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to that perfect light.

02:50Born a king on Bethlehem plain, gold I bring to crown him again.

03:00King forever ceasing, never over us all to reign.

03:07Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

03:37Prayer and praising, all men raising, worship Him God most high, oh.

03:50Star of wonder, star of night, star of royal beauty bride.

03:58Westworld leading, still proceeding, guys to their perfect light.

04:04Glorious now, behold Him on rise, King and God and Sam replies.

04:15Alleluia, alleluia, earth to the heavens replies, oh.

04:27Star of wonder, star of night, star of royal beauty bride.

04:37Westworld leading, still proceeding, guys to their perfect light.

04:46Oh, yeah.

04:53Wasn't that delightful?

04:55Besides, Rex, maybe waffle is an old word that means waffle.

04:59After all, what could be more Christmassy than a thick stack of syrup-drenched waffles?

05:05As usual, Herb, there you go, letting history take a backseat to your stomach.

05:10The ringing of the bells at Christmastime is a holdover from early mid-winter celebrations.

05:16When the earth was cold and the sun was dying, evil spirits were very powerful.

05:21And one of the ways to drive evil off was by making a great deal of noise.

05:28As making noise was also fun, bell-ringing ceremonies became a part of the spirit of Christmas.

05:33Next on our program is the exquisite Carol of the Bells.

05:40This isn't driving you off.

05:44A good evening.

05:48Tonight our concert is with the Paris Bell Harmonic, the house orchestra here at Notre Dame Cathedral.

05:54I have a hunch that will give us a wonderful performance under the baton of Maestro Quasimodo.

06:51Oh.

07:21The

07:35I love this man.

08:05Magnificent! Who was that conductor?

08:24Oh, I don't know. But, you know, his face sure rings a bell.

08:27One of the most beloved symbols of Christmas is the Christmas tree, festooned with lights and ornaments...

08:39And candy canes and popcorn chains.

08:43Yes, of course, Herb. The Christmas tree has come to represent the focal point of the Yuletide celebration.

08:50Oh, Tannenbaum, an exceedingly well-known...

08:53Ladies, ladies, please! The correct refrain is WASO, not WADO!

09:10Oh, Happy New Year!

09:14I like one of those purple ones.

09:17Strawberry, plain, apple, clay.

09:22The Simple and Lovely Christmas Tree Carol

09:25Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree

09:40With faithful leaves unchanging

09:44Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree

09:49With faithful leaves unchanging

09:53Not only green in sun and green

09:57But also winter, snow and sleet

10:01Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree

10:05With faithful leaves unchanging

10:09O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

10:39Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree, your leaves will teach me also.

10:53Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree, your leaves will teach me also.

11:01Let hope in love and in the ways of precious things, I hear your kiss.

11:10Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree, your leaves will teach me also.

11:31It says here, wassail is derived from the Celtic word for lamb's wool.

11:43Must be an old sheep-shearing song.

11:45It's not a sheep-shearing song, you bonehead.

11:48Wassail comes from the Anglo-Saxon wassail, which means be in health, so...

11:53Next on the show, my own personal favorite, Interpretive Ice Ballet.

11:58The carol angels we have heard on high had its origins...

12:04And we are more than honored to have the prima ballerina, Dame Margot Pontoon.

12:09Oh, and her world-renowned partner, Rudolph Nerves on Edge, interpret the carol for us.

12:28Okay, let's go.

12:43It's cool.

14:13Oh, what I'd give to ice dance with that Margo.

14:37There's no ice thick enough for the two of you.

14:41Our next number was composed by a 15-year-old boy who sought in song to express the true Christmas spirit.

14:53Isaac Watts wanted a carol that expressed jubilation.

14:57Here we come a-wallowing, a-wallowing so green.

15:03Here we come a-wallowing so fair to be seen.

15:09What?

15:09Joy come to you, and to you.

15:12Uh, Herb, I believe we were discussing young Isaac Watts.

15:16Right.

15:17The young genius based his carol around a single word.

15:22A word that best expresses the love and kinship that are at the very heart of Christmas.

15:28The word that he chose was...

15:30Joy!

15:35Uh, yes.

15:38Joy to the world.

15:40Joy.

15:41Joy.

15:42Joy.

15:43Joy.

15:44Joy.

15:45Joy.

15:46Joy.

15:47Joy.

15:48Joy.

15:49Joy.

16:11Joy.

16:13Joy.

16:15The Lord has come

16:20Let earth

16:23Receive

16:25Her King

16:36Let every heart

16:38prevail

16:41Let every heart

16:43Prepaid room

16:46And heavenly nature sing

16:48And heavenly nature sing

16:50Talk about joy

17:13We're talking about joy

17:16We're talking about joy

18:17It's wassaling, I tell you. It's wassaling.

18:22I do believe it is waffle.

18:25It's been my impression.

18:27Our next carol is that fabulous and incredibly popular Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

18:34Interpreted by that singing and dancing sensation, the California Raisins.

18:40They're cool, too, but they're saying you're awesome.

18:43Good crowd for Christmas Eve, fellas, man.

18:46Wouldn't you say?

18:47They fly.

18:49No kidding.

18:50I really enjoyed that.

18:51We put on a really nice one.

18:52Good job.

18:53Ooh, they like that grapevine.

18:56They're deserted out here, though.

18:57Did you see that big old grapevine?

18:59Excellent.

19:00Good guy.

19:01Uh-oh.

19:04There goes the last bus.

19:06So call me a cab.

19:08Hey, man.

19:08You're a cab.

19:10No sweat.

19:11It's Christmas Eve.

19:13Next reindeers do any minute.

19:15Oh, man.

19:16Come on, man.

19:17You know, there's Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Dixen.

19:34Oh, but do you recall the most famous baby of all?

19:48Oh, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had a very shiny gold.

19:58Oh, and if you ever saw him, you would even say it flowed.

20:09Oh, the other, other, other baby, used to love me calling me.

20:19Oh, they never left for Rudolph, joining in a crazy game.

20:30Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say, oh, yeah.

20:40Hey, Rudolph!

20:41Come on, come on, come on, come on, bring God my sleigh tonight, yeah.

20:50Then I will rain, dear, love him.

20:55And they shout it out with me.

21:00Come on!

21:00Come on, come on, come on, bring God my sleigh tonight, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
