Krampus - Christmas Special 2021

But It Was Aliens

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Krampus. Krampus may well predate the year zero yet Krampus has become the somewhat twisted counterpart to Saint Nicholas. How did they become pals? What’s the difference between Saint Nicholas, Santa Claus and Father Christmas? Who were the parents of Krampus? Can you fight Krampus with the gifts Krampus brings? How many Krampus, or Krampi, even are there? What does Santa like to eat whilst doing the rounds? These are just some of the questions we ponder today. But not only do we ponder, we also have some legitimate video evidence to analyse today to which you will find the links below. Warning: the second piece of footage, is vicious. Along the way we also explore some of Greybeard’s employment history (you can’t prove it). What is the best slang word for penis? All that and more on this week’s file. Christmas hog for one and all.

Music:

Music created via Garageband. Additional music via: https://freepd.com - thank you most kindly good people. You may also have noticed amongst the standard Christmas folly, a rendition of Frederic Chopin's Nocturne No.2 in E-flat Major. Chopin passed away in 1849 and so this music is now in the public domain. This song brings back happy memories for Greybeard as it is in the opening of Kev’s favourite Christmas movie, Bad Santa starring Billy Bob Thornton and Tony Cox and directed by Terry Zwigoff. What. A. Movie. We also snipped in an extremely swift clip from the themes to the original animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, composed by Chuck Lorre and Dennis Challen Brown and from the theme to He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, composed by Shuki Levy, Haim Saban and Erika Lane courtesy of Mattel. Right after those, there was a clip from the theme tune to the animated television series Thundercats, composed by Bernard Hoffer and owned by Warner Bros since 1989. They don’t make animated series like they used to! Finally, we included two songs from one of our well-documented favourite ever video games - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The Title Theme and the Legend of Hyrule theme. These themes were composed by Kōji Kondō. Thank you to all the folks behind Zelda from Nintendo once again.

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.
