Video: Jack Black and Jason Segel Team Up for 'Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy 2010'

Jack Black and Jason Segel have gotten together for a mostly faithful cover of David Bowie and Bing Crosby’s 1977 medley of "Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy 2010." All proceeds from the sale of the single, which will be available on iTunes starting today, will go to Blue Star Families, a nonprofit organization that "seeks to connect, support and empower military families by offering solutions that make military family life more sustainable."

An animated video for the song is available on CollegeHumor.com.

“V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F.”

Fishbone | 1985

Quite a few musicians have utilized initials for song titles -- Michael Jackson's "P.Y.T.," Abba's "S.O.S.," Donald Fagen's "I.G.Y.," etc. But the more curiously initialed tune has to be "V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F.," short for "Voyage to the Land of the Freeze-Dried Godzilla Farts." Fishbone's original guitarist, Kendall Jones, explained to Rolling Stone, "When Norwood [Fisher] wrote it, he introduced it to the band saying, 'Man, I've been hearing about all these Nazi right-wing groups on the news saying the Holocaust was staged. So what if America said it never dropped two atom bombs on Japan, that it was actually Godzilla popping a couple off?' Only Norwood would come up with something that out." The same year "V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F." was released, the film Godzilla 1985 appeared in North America.
