I don't get it.  

Neither one of those guys are funny.  What is that supposed to be?

Are you referring to Buzz and Snags?

Yes you do. Yes they are.
It's a parody of Bowie and Bing as you well know.

We both hate Ferrall's politics and his hatred for everything Trump.

I know it's supposed to be a parody.  But I don't think they understand the meaning of the word "parody"

Doing the same thing basically as the video and then acting like assholes at the end doesn't work as parody in my book, ya dig?

I do dig. It's just that the original was the weirdest pairing in our lifetime. Ground Control to Major Tom meets up with America's grand old crooner that by family accounts was an abusive Dad.

It was.  And one of my favorite Christmas songs today even though I don't care for the song itself.

Actually searched pretty heavily a week ago from the numerous You Tube videos with the fireplace setting. Came across this beautiful song but had no playlist to identify the correct title nor the singer. Knew it wasn't the raspy tone of Nat King Cole and it bothered me not knowing.

Turns out it was 90+ year old activist/socialist calypso artist Harry Belafonte.
And it's gorgeous.

I agree. That sucked. The singing was good but not funny.
