About 5 years ago CBC aired a Christmas special called "The True Meaning of Christmas Specials" directed by, produced by, and starring Dave Foley.  It had cameos by Mike Myers, Jason Priestly, Elvis Stojko, and more Canadians.  My favorite bit out of the whole show, the one I can still remember clearly, was when Dave Foley played David Bowie against Joe Flaherty's Bing Crosby.  It was great.  They even had "Bowie" tell "Bing" that his name is pronounced "Bowie" not "Booie".  My problem now is, I can't seem to find a clip of it.  They showed on CBC for a couple years every Christmas but then the year I was going to tape it for a friend of mine who loves Bowie, they didn't show it.  I've searched everywhere for a clip (YouTube, Veoh, Daily Motion, even some not so legal sites) but I can't seem to find one.  It's not even out on DVD in Canada (or anywhere for that matter) otherwise I would buy it up in a second.  So since I can't seem to find the Dave Foley clip, you get to see the original David Bowie/Bing Crosby performance.  Still a good clip but I would have love to have shown you the other one too.
