This song, R2D2 We Wish You a Merry Christmas, is notable not only because it's a Christmas carol directed toward a robot, but also because of the primary singer on the track. You see, this album was recorded in 1980, and it was produced by New Jersey's Tony Bongiovi, who asked his cousin (employed as the sweeper of the studio floors at the time) if he would do the honors. That cousin's name was John Bongiovi, and this would be his first professional recording. Later that name would be cut down to the more familiar... Jon Bon Jovi.
And now you know... the rest of the story. About how Jon Bon Jovi sang a song to R2D2. Merry Christmas!
