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.

“Baby Got Back”

Sir Mix-a-Lot | 1992

While watching a Budweiser commercial during the Super Bowl, Sir Mix-a-Lot thought the skinny female models in the ad didn’t represent reality. So he wrote this ode to ample bottoms, featuring its famous to-the-point lyric: “I like big butts and I cannot lie.” MTV banished the video, featuring shaking booties and sexually suggestive fruit, to 9 p.m. or later. “I thought my career was over,” he told Rolling Stone. “Then I called Rick Rubin, and I told him the video was banned, and he was like, 'Great!' We sold another 2 million records.”
