December 1, 2011 - Grinch 2000

As we begin December, it's the perfect time to celebrate the best parts of the season, which include:

• Crass commercialism
• Dated movie tie-ins
• Surreal live-action bastardations of our childhood animated holiday memories, and
• Busta Rhymes

And so, we present to you... Grinch 2000!  (Either click on this link to open up Quicktime within your browser, or save the file to enjoy this horrible song on your own computer!)

Yes, it's that Jim Carrey/Busta Rhymes duet from Ron Howard's How the Grinch Stole Christmas that we all loved 11 years ago!  Oh, wait... "love" and "Ron Howard's How the Grinch Stole Christmas" don't belong in the same sentence, do they?  Equal parts nonsensical Busta rapping and Jim mugging (in his trademark Grinch voice!), they continually namecheck each other and sort of tell the Dr. Seuss story.  This is apparently where we were musically at the turn of the 21st century.

We'll be back tomorrow to open up Door #2...
