Our friends at Mistletunes uncovered this one, and we all owe them a great debt of gratitude for doing so. This is a straight up novelty record--the kind they don't seem to make much anymore. On some level, this Sci-Fi hoedown is intended as a children's record, but, like a Bugs Bunny cartoon, there's certainly enough here for adults to chew on and enjoy. "The Night The Hippies Hijacked Christmas" tells the story of a couple of good ol' boys who witness an invasion more frightening than aliens and Al Quaeda combined. Danged dirty hippies! The Amoeba People are favorites of the Dr. Dimento Show, for obvious reasons, and their Christmas "A" side has been featured on his program. But what about the "B" side, hmmm? Well, "Christmas Ferret" is no Hippie invasion, but it's quite a bit of fun, nonetheless. Pick this one up on Bandcamp, space cadets, then prepare to defend the 'Murken way of life.
