Reader James left this link on a previous post of mine, a clip from A Charlie Brown Christmas overdubbed with a song by heavy metal band Tourniquet. Sorry, I don't listen to a lot of metal, so I couldn't tell you the name of the song, but I'm sure one of you will tell me in the comments. I usually break out my Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack album around this time of year, but maybe I should download this song from iTunes as well and add it to my Christmas playlist. I don't know what's being sung, exactly, but I'm sure it has something to do with loving Jesus, goodwill towards men, and sipping apple cider around the fireplace ... with SATAN*.
Just for fun, I also included the Charlie Brown / Outkast mashup that hit the Web some time ago. Dance your pants off.
*Some readers pointed out that Tourniquet is a Christian metal band, so my joke doesn't really make sense. I will try to do a better job in the future of pretending I care about Christian metal and its place in the annals of modern music.

What's the deal with the woman doing the "smelling my own arm pits," dance. And what's going on with the guy trying to kick his own hands. Clearly drawn by people who don't dance.

I think this is GREAT! I LOVE the silly dances they do.
Apparently 'Alan' has never seen "A Charlie Brown Christmas" before. ((Or he's a complete moron))

The Outkast version is the best. Well done. As to the "drawn by people who dont know how to dance" comment. Who cares? Its great and fun to watch.

"A Charlie Brown Christmas" was produced in the early 60's. Charles Schultz created the Woodstock character several years later (even the Woodstock rock festival took place years after "Charlie Brown Christmas").

Woodstock is not in "A Charlie Brown Christmas" because it was made in 1965, several years before that character was introduced to the comic strip.

The Outkast one was way better, more entertaining but they're both good. Also, it's obvious that some people out there have never seen "A Charlie Brown Christmas" before, such a sad thing.

Charlie Brown is still the standard for morals in childrens cartoons.Charles Schulz should have won a Nobel Peace Prize......he is a hero to me and millions of "kids" everywhere! God Bless Peanuts!

I was raised with Charlie Brown and the crew, what people are going to start saying that this should not be permitted like Christmas and so forth.
They are all children and they dont dance that great and I should know my daughter tries to dance at home and it is fun to watch as she tries different moves

At the end of the heavy metal clip, there is a statement that all materials are copy written. For future reference, the correct term is Copyrighted.
