Carol of the Bells is one of my favorite Christmas tunes I like to hear every Christmas season. The Muppets decide to give this venerable classic a try. Poor Beaker. He ends up being fodder for Dr. Benson Honeydew’s many experiments. Here you would think he would be safe but Animai has his own spin on what bell is best for the song.

Christmas Music: Carol of the Bells
Carol of the Bells originally came from the Ukraine likely based on a pre-Christian folk chant. It was introduced to Western audiences in the 1920’s and became a popular tune of the holiday. It usually is sung a capella (meaning no musical accompaniment) though there are many variations out there. The video, courtesy of Libera on YouTube, is from the dvd “Christmas In Ireland:Angels Sing.” You can shop for the dvd and cd at www.libera.org.uk/shop. Their music is also available through Amazon (cd and mp3). Please click on the appropriate Amazon image after the YouTube player. Enjoy.
Christmas Funny:Muppets Do Carol of the Bells
The Muppets take on a classic Christmas tune in their version of Carol of the Bells. Beaker and Swedish chef do the singing while Animal provides accompaniment. Beaker got out of Muppet Labs for this performance but like in the lab, something always goes awry.
