You see kids, back in the 1980’s there was a cable channel called MTV. It showed music videos like this. Years later they stopped showing music and resorted to start running shows about pregnant teenagers. I guess music was considered obsolete by then.
There’s this channel on cable called VHS Classic that plays all the videos that MTV did back then. I watch it with my siblings because we are generation Z and didn’t have that growing up.
Mark Goodman and his ex-wife Carol Miller. Alan Hunter and his ex-wife Jan and Martha Quinn. I believe JJ and Nina were not present for the taping. John Lee Hooker played Santa Clause.
What really matters is that John Lee Hooker was black Santa Claus..all the original VJs were there...they had to be by contract plus there was free coke all night long
This song and Chuck Berry Run Rudolph Run, Brenda Lee Rocking around the Xmas tree, The Boss Santa is coming to town, The Waitresses Christmas wrappings, AND Bryan Adams Reggie Xmas. That is all I need for the Holidays.
Love this even tonight, I feel really great today like it is Christmas, After cleaning the church today (For Ash whensday) I started feeling this happiness, and Joy and most of all at peace within my being, content relaxed. What else can I say,I did something I totally enjoy, Spent alone time with God the Father andJesus Christ his son by the power of the Holy Spirit It was like my very first Christmas So Merry Christmas All John3:16:')
Another of my favorite Christmas songs as I don't care much for those traditional Christmas songs, these are the only kind I listen to especially one from George Thorogood. Merry Christmas !
On the contrary, Brian Setzer does a pretty good job keeping the R&R themed Christmas going. My daughter has gone to some of his Christmas Eve concerts.
Three years ago at the BSO Christmas show here in Calgary, I finally got Setzer’s autograph to complete a three concert, eight year odyssey. All the Stray Cats on my original Built For Speed LP. The man is a class act, and puts on such a great show!

I watched this on MTV back in '85. It was great. MTV made a Christmas video in '84 too. They both were called MTV's 1984/1985 Christmas Bash. 1985 had Bryan Adams & Pee-Wee & with all the original VJ's. (Mark, JJ, Martha and Alan) I forget the others) They were/are both great. Have them on VCR tape, still watch them every so often. (search for Bryan Adams - Reggae Christmas if ya wanna see it.)
@@David_Theisen his was the first Christmas song video made for and played on MTV in 1981. They had no idea what they were doing because MTV was so new. They just winged it and it was well received by the MTV audience. Ahhh, the good ol days when MTV played music! I would watch for hours!
All the comments are great. Seen George a few times. Kids today..Never heard of him. Rap Crap and Hip Hop is all they know. Justin Bieber Xmas album they will be lined up for that one...
Here is my top five ever: Enjoy. Rolling Stones Prince Michael Jackson George Thorogood U2/Garth Brooks If that's not the best top 5/6 ever then you are ootta of your mind. I dare you to try and come up with something better.
RIP Hank "Hurricane" Carter. Merry Christmas brother, we love and miss you!
Indeed
Now that's what i call a Christmas song. Merry Christmas everyone.

So, the bug in the corner says VH1. Curious.
"what do you mean Mtv had no reality shows or Commercials?!"--all the young folk at work. 😂

ok boomer
Actually, something called the TH-cam killed the video star. Who wants to wait around for what you want to see when you don 't have to?
George Thorogood needs to reissue this song onto vinyl and CD, this is a excellent Christmas song!!
This song is on a cd. The cd is called "Classic Rockin' Christmas".
Needs more play. Agree. Thorogood never gets the proper respect.
One of my favorite Christmas originals!!!!!!🎸🎸🎸👍👍👍
When MTV W-A-S MTV!!! Glad I was lucky enough to have lived through it!
This is a excellent Christmas song 🌲🌲🌲merry Christmas George, rock to the bone 🌲🎸🎸🎸
One of my all time favorite Christmas songs! :) It just doesn't get better than this.
I never heard this song until today 12/17/2021
It's an older song, but fantastic!
So good this song is classic Destroyers
I've never heard this b4 either great track
Yeah, saw this 12/6/2022. Re-record also some recommended. This deserves a high five.
I remember watching this when it debuted on MTV during their Christmas show. Good times. 50 points for every VJ you can spot and name
Looks like they're all there Alan Mark Nina and Martha and the late JJ all popping up somewhere in there
Mark Goodman and his ex-wife Carol Miller.
Alan Hunter and his ex-wife Jan and Martha Quinn.
I believe JJ and Nina were not present for the taping.
John Lee Hooker played Santa Clause.
What really matters is that John Lee Hooker was black Santa Claus..all the original VJs were there...they had to be by contract plus there was free coke all night long
@@johnmichaelpelech4743 Thanks for that, I have often wondered who Santa was! :)
Love, love, love!
One of the best Christmas songs!
A classic from when watching TV around Christmas time was fun. George sure knows how to belt them out!
Now this is a Christmas party.. We need to get back to this
What could be better than John Lee Hooker dancing in a Santa suit ???
Now that was the real Christmas and how it used to be!! Such really great years!.
Awesome song George merry Christmas guys see you 2023

Thorogood Never Gets the Proper Respect!
Never short changed
Well ignite 👍! Is this a 1983 party ?
Damn this is Bad Ass. This is how we party for Christmas. They don't make music like this anymore.
On the contrary, Brian Setzer does a pretty good job keeping the R&R themed Christmas going. My daughter has gone to some of his Christmas Eve concerts.
@@93qketq8 And Joe Bonamassa does a mean Christmas boogie as well th-cam.com/video/SWpImlU7s74/w-d-xo.html

artists cater to their audience. why do you think no one makes this music anymore? (quite frankly I'm glad they don't it's ass)
2021🎄🎅🔥💪😎
