Countdown to Christmas: Chrissy The Christmas Mouse (1992)

 I heard this song for the first time this morning. I'm not kidding. This was recorded in 1992, and didn't get enough radio airplay. Until now.

Donald O'Connor & Debbie Reynolds, who'd co-starred in some movies a couple of generations ago, reunited to record a Christmas album, and the first single references "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer", except that "Chrissy The Christmas Mouse" was an entirely new creation. 

To think this comes 21 years after Lynn Anderson's parody, "Ding-a-Ling The Christmas Bell". Here's "Chrissy":


Yeah, it's audio only. We'll probably hear "Chrissy" a few more times between now & Christmas Day (Monday).
