While Jeff is melodramatic (mellowdramatic?) as far as this being worse than the Singing Saw, Mike Love, America and etc. This is definitely the most hilarious Drum Machine so far this year, narrowly edging out Fats Domino.

I also want to know why Steve Lukather (or his non union Mexican equivalent) is shredding away on both of these songs.

While we're on the subject of Ron Dante, is there any chance there's a Christmas album by his other "group", the Cuff Links, floating around somewhere???

"Tracy when I'm with you, something you do, bounces me off the ceiling, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, bang-shang-a-lang..." Ok, I'm stopping now.

And he would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids.

That sounds like the plot to "A Very Scooby Christmas".

So... a conspiracy it is. Who will save Christmas from Archie Manilow?

Worst Mellowmas song ever? I don't think so. That Mike Love piece of shit from last year was much worse than either of these two songs. But yeah, these Archies tunes really sucked.

Yes, Ron and Barry wrote "Mandy" and a lot more Barely Manatall hits. Don't ask me how I know this.

Nothing personal Jason and Jeff, but can you get Betty and Veronica to host Mellowmas next year? Instead of posting shitty songs, they could post their pictures dressed in festive garb, or photoshop themselves in a ski lodge with Kenny Rogers and Dollytoe.

I think Homer said it best: stupid Riverdale punks!

I don't hear the AutoTune; I must be getting old.

And Betty is just plain hot--as in Charlize Theron hot. Did you see her MySpace pics? Wow!

Even if I were in the "Archie" comics fan club (which I'm not), I'd pass on this CD. I think they made it for tweeners who are discovering Dad's prepubescent comix collection.

No. It's there. The link to it in the article was just formatted wrong.
Here's a working link:

If only I could find a way to play all Mellowmas songs (on random repeat) for the folks at work when I'm not here. Do you have any hacking tips for me, on how to make Windows Media Player un-turn-off-able? I have been downloading the worst of the worst this holiday season, in order to be prepared for 2009, and Betty seeing Veronica doing Santa Claus is officially on the list.

Oh, and speaking of holiday bankruptcy...

I have to say they've aged well since their last hit 40 years ago. If I'd aged at that rate, I'd still be pre-fetal.

Veronica's page seems to have disappeared. Someone exposed her secret and now She Has To Go.

Chilling, isn't it?

Since he and Jughead realized a repositioning of their roles might freshen their relationship.

Weren't Dante and Barry Manilow some kind of partnership at one time? It would totally explain why the two of them seem hell bent to take down Christmas like a 747 over Scotland. Keep Christ in Christmas and keep Barry & his collaborators out of it!

"Suck it"! Ahhhh hahahahahahaha!

I'm with Jason, there is no way this is the worst thing you've heard this year. Judy Collins and the singing saw were way worse. Now excuse me, I'm off to check out Betty & Veronica's MySpace pages...

I feel exactly the same as Jeff. I can't come up with a snarky comment because this music has brought my mind to a complete halt. Well, the music and the picture of Ron Dante in form-fitting leather pants.

There's way too many things wrong with this to list them all. I think the thing that bothers me most is the picture. Since when does Archie wear faux leather pants?
