“Yes, we’re really playing.”
Hilarious.
marykatharine on December 22, 2006 at 8:58 AM
WOW, MICHELLE! YOU VIRTUOSO, YOU! NICE JOB ON THE DRUMS, BRYAN.
So far there have been doo-wop bands, rock n roll bands, new wave bands, punk music bands….and now we have possibly the VERY FIRST BLOG BAND! Interesting.
Well, Michelle, to you and your family, to the HOTAIR Staff, and to my fellow and sister commentors here…
MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HANNUKA, AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.
BTW-Michelle, many thanks to you and your staff for giving us this wonderful, important, and essential site–an all important weapon against the enemas of our great nation!
The False Dervish on December 22, 2006 at 9:02 AM
Merry Christmas Michelle and all the rest of you Hot Air folks. Seeing those clips remind me of what a fun (and musical) online family we have here. Keep up the good work
Mancipium on December 22, 2006 at 9:02 AM
Finally, keeping it LIGHT!
seejanemom on December 22, 2006 at 9:09 AM

Here’s wishing a very Merry Christmas to AP, Bryan, Ian, and Michelle, all the posters on HotAir (even our liberal friends) and all the lurkers. Thanks HA for providing us this great forum to be informed, be involved, be amused, and be active.
And please remember all of our fabulous service men and women who cannot be with their loved ones this holiday season.
dalewalt on December 22, 2006 at 9:28 AM
That was great! Merry Christmas to all!
Laura02420 on December 22, 2006 at 9:33 AM
Merry Christmas, to all my friends at HOTAIR who were nice enough to welcome me into the fold. I really do love hanging out with you here, but I have a date with my Saviour. Until Tuesday, then…..
seejanemom on December 22, 2006 at 9:34 AM
Oh hell yea! Jammin!
Merry Christmas all! Enjoy yourselves and be careful.

Dread Pirate Roberts VI on December 22, 2006 at 9:51 AM
Another one of Michelle’s hidden talents. Merry Christmas Michelle,AP,Bryan,Ian! Thanks for a great year! Merry Christmas to all the great HotAir commenters!
SAM 1X on December 22, 2006 at 9:59 AM
I sang along…
I hear those tater tots calling calling for meeee!
Mazztek on December 22, 2006 at 10:00 AM
So many talents, and add music to the list. I’m impressed, guys.
Merry Christmas to all!
flutejpl on December 22, 2006 at 10:07 AM
I did not care for it as much as everyone else, but still love Michelle anyway. Does that make me a grinch?
jman on December 22, 2006 at 10:11 AM
Another heretofore unknown talent, Michelle…nicely done. Merry Christmas to you, your family and all the hardworking folks that make HotAir possible. Cheers.
austinnelly on December 22, 2006 at 10:12 AM
Could this be the Bryan who was a member of the “MEDICINE CROW “band several years ago in the Dallas, Texas area?? INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW–Merry Christmas-you-all.
PAPA BEAR on December 22, 2006 at 10:14 AM
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Happy New Year! I look forward to many, many visits to HOT AIR in 2007.
May all the Hot Air contributors, staff and commenters enjoy a healthy and prosperous New Year.
MCPO Airdale on December 22, 2006 at 10:17 AM
Thanks.
Esthier on December 22, 2006 at 10:17 AM
Nicely done.
Where was Allah, though? He could have played cowbell or something.
Slublog on December 22, 2006 at 10:17 AM
I don’t live where they live. I’m … the outsider.
Allahpundit on December 22, 2006 at 10:18 AM
That must make the office Christmas party difficult.
Slublog on December 22, 2006 at 10:20 AM
No Allah lives (looking up to the sky).
Merry Christmas Michelle, Bryan, and everyone!
amerpundit on December 22, 2006 at 10:23 AM
Yeah that was fun
liberrocky on December 22, 2006 at 10:33 AM
Guilty, yerhonner.
Whatever happened to “what happens in Texas stays in Texas?”
Bryan on December 22, 2006 at 10:38 AM
That was great Merry Christmas everyone!
AZPatriot on December 22, 2006 at 10:40 AM
Excellent! Next time maybe AP could sing, or maybe not. Merry Christmas!
infidel on December 22, 2006 at 10:44 AM
uh, I think it’s “whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” but i’m certain you already knew that. :)

Precious! Thanks and Merry Christmas to all the HA team!

Merry Christmas to the staff at Hotair and to all the users. Please allow me to post this link to what I feel is the true Christmas spirit and it is written by a Rabbi Gellman.
Wade on December 22, 2006 at 10:58 AM
Haha, you’re both goofballs but that was great =)
Merry Christmas!
Dash on December 22, 2006 at 11:04 AM
My Dad played guitar and his sister (my aunt) played the
piano and organ and my sisters, brother and I would try to
sing. Probably not real well. But ya’ll made me remember
those times so long ago. Thanks. One of my sons and his
daughter play the drums and another son and his son are
learning to play the guitar. They plan to play together
Christmas day. Should be fun. Hope they sound as good as
you two. Thanks again from an old retired Army guy from
Texas.
WildBillK on December 22, 2006 at 11:09 AM
And Sleigh Ride’s not that easy to play, even in the key of F ; )
Very Merry Christmas to everyone at Hot Air – you’re simply the best.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to Michelle, the Hot Air folk, contributors and participants!

Great Job Michelle! I think a duet with Condi should be in the works. I know the two of you could really pull it off.
Vanquisher on December 22, 2006 at 11:20 AM
lovley!
way to vlog, guys!
merry christmas!
jummy on December 22, 2006 at 11:27 AM
Wow, Michelle. I completely forgot you played the piano. But I think I read somewhere that you were a music major before you switched to journalism at Oberlin. I used to want to study journalism, but I ended up majoring in business administration and accounting.
John on December 22, 2006 at 11:31 AM
i want ashcroft and keyes to do the carol of tyhe bells.
jummy on December 22, 2006 at 11:32 AM
That was a nice pick-me-up, guys. Thanks, Merry Christmas, and God bless us everyone!
mikeyboss on December 22, 2006 at 11:37 AM
WELL DONE, WELL DONE…. HO HO HO, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
And to all our troops all over the world, God Keep and Bless you and your entire families…

Alright! The Ventilators are back! Now if I can synchronize that song with my Christmas lights!
“MEDICINE CROW “band
Sounds like a Hippie group hyped up on Marijuana. Probably have banjos in the band or something. ;)

Very nice!
Merry Christmas Everyone!!!
CookeyD on December 22, 2006 at 11:52 AM
No, no. You folks simply don’t get it. While Michelle and Bryan render the SONG about a sleigh ride together, Allah is the one that actually has to PULL the sleigh. Sorta’ like that miserable little dog in the “Grinch that Stole Christmas” cartoon. (Please don’t ban me, Allah.)
CyberCipher on December 22, 2006 at 11:58 AM
Very Nice. Made my day.
My Marine son is home, my oldest son and family will be here later today and I have a million things to do But for some reason I just keep playing this over and over.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to every one.

jummy on December 22, 2006 at 12:42 PM
Wow, Michelle! You [briefly] sang in one video, played keyboard in this one. What’s next? Some dancing? Be a triple threat!!! Heh.
Merry Christmas, all!
JinxMcHue on December 22, 2006 at 12:45 PM
Pretty, smart, and a musician. Wow.
A Merry Christmas to you also.
Lawrence on December 22, 2006 at 1:03 PM
Thank You HOTAIR and Merry Christmas All!! God Bless our Troops…

You should put up the Yule Log for Christmas.
JammieWearingFool on December 22, 2006 at 1:14 PM
Apparently, Nick Rivers wasn’t available to do your vocals.
Thanks for the holiday cheer, Michelle & Bryan.
Merry Christmas!

The Ugly American on December 22, 2006 at 1:40 PM
Nice touch Michelle, as per usual.
Glad you said you guys were playing…that would have been the obvious question we all would have wanted to know!
But where was the flashback to your Halloween costume? That episode was one of my faves!!
asc85 on December 22, 2006 at 2:11 PM
Always swell to see so much talent. No really, I mean it.
Great job Michelle and Bryan.
Here’s wishing The Hot Air crew and all of my fellow commenters a very Blessed Christmas and Peaceful New Year!
JohnnyD on December 22, 2006 at 2:14 PM
Merry Christmas Michelle, Bryan, and happy Chanukah Ian, and the all the HotAir commenters.
And Allah, sorry I missed the the Ramadan bash. I hear it was dynamite.
RightWinged on December 22, 2006 at 2:23 PM
LOL
Merry Christmas Michelle, Bryan, and Allahpundit!!
…love yall!!!
Joshua P. Allem on December 22, 2006 at 2:33 PM
Loved the post. What can’t you do Michelle?
I wish a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Michelle and the rest of the Hot Air Team and community.
May Christ’s peace and love be with you all.

Merry Christmas to you and all HotAir-heads!

pappy on December 22, 2006 at 3:32 PM
Wow, Michelle! You [briefly] sang in one video, played keyboard in this one. What’s next? Some dancing? Be a triple threat!!! Heh.
She did dance! Remember that time someone set up a bogus web site where they were trying to change the earth’s orbit by organizing people around the world to jump at the same time? She jumped and danced with an Arcadae game.
See Michelle, all that classical training paid off. Michelle should have piano showdown with that Kos fella!

Merry Christmas!

May God’s Blessings and Joy be with all of you this Christmas Season!!!
God Bless America.

Impressive! I keep pointing to Michelle as a role model for my daughters, and she keeps making that decision seem very wise. Brains, strength, beauty and musical talent… your family is truly blessed to have you.
I’ve been a sporadic poster and obsessive reader of this site for a while. I must say it’s been worth every minute. Allah, thank you for letting me have access. Bryan and Ian (and Vent guest hosts), you all add to this rich experience. I thank you all for your professionalism and unflagging efforts to make this the first-class, thought-provoking group that it is.
And to all those who post here, either frequently or occasionally, Merry Christmas and a happy, peaceful and propserous new year to all… that includes you, honora.
SailorDave on December 22, 2006 at 6:24 PM
My curiosity went up, and I just searched “Michelle Malkin music.” After a few pages of garbage, I found the following NRO article. As for me, I’m glad to know I’m not the only classical musician who is conservative. That in itself is a Christmas gift.

Neat montage. Unfortunately, I couldn’t place all those scenes. As amateur as it may have been, I couldn’t help but be impressed and envious of Michelle’s and Bryan’s musical talents.
Entelechy, from most anyone else I would think those greetings were a copy and paste job, but I suspect you actually knew all of them by heart. If so, I’m immeasurably impressed. You are quite the linguist.
Wish you all Mighty Holy Days and Happy New Year.
Kevin on December 22, 2006 at 6:45 PM
I say Michelle and Condi have a play off at the Met! Thanks folks Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

Merry Christmas to HA staff and fellow commenters.
It’s been a great year!!

Thanks…
Merry Christmas to Hotair staff and friends.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL..
alyce on December 22, 2006 at 8:05 PM
Techno-geeks refer to this phenomenon as B-cubed (Brains* Beauty*Brawn), and Michelle Malkin has definitely got it. I like music as much as the rest of you, but say a prayer to God this Christmas and thank Him that the boss dumped her music major at Oberlin. We NEED her here doing exactly what she is doing. What a waste it would have been had she become just another music teacher or entertainer. N’est-ce pas?
CyberCipher on December 22, 2006 at 8:34 PM
Merry Christmas everyone!
EnochCain on December 22, 2006 at 9:46 PM
Max.
Yeah, and Michelle’s not half bad either.
mikeyboss on December 22, 2006 at 10:40 PM
Michelle can jump rope and dance too.
This one is hilarious.

A very Merry Christmas to all…
Donkeyhue on December 22, 2006 at 11:40 PM
Wow! That was awesome! Thanks Michelle and Bryan.
And for those who want to sing-along, here’s the lyrics:
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling, too
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling, ‘Yoo-hoo!’
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, let’s go
Let’s look at the show
We’re riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, it’s grand
Just holding your hand
We’re gliding along with a song of a wintery fairyland
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy-cozy are we
We’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
Let’s take that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, let’s go
Let’s look at the show
We’re riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, it’s grand
Just holding your hand
We’re gliding along with a song of a wintery fairyland
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy-cozy are we
We’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
Let’s take that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Sleigh ride together with you
Sleigh ride together with you
Sleigh ride together with you
flagwaver on December 22, 2006 at 11:53 PM
I’ve watched/listened to you guys at least 5 times now & and you’re awesome each time!
You know what this means don’t you… request-mania! :-)
RD on December 23, 2006 at 12:49 AM
Kevin, the greetings are easy. However, I don’t speak Greek and Hungarian. I added the latter for our e-friend Janos Hunyadi. The Irish I added for AP :)
A European background lends itself to easily being a polyglot, as so many languages are related. It’s much fun. Thank you for the encouragement.
I love the saying on top of your site. Regards,
Entelechy on December 23, 2006 at 1:03 AM
Entelechy, wow. You speak 8 out of 10 of the languages.
I studied Spanish for a while and I see the similarities between Spanish and Italian, and sometimes French. German occasionally sounds a bit like English, though it seems to contain a bunch of extra letters. :) As for the rest, I’m totally lost.
But I do have a fascination with words and their roots, as perhaps indicated by my (in hindsight probably unfitting) substitution of “Mighty” for “Merry”, and breaking apart of Holidays into Holy Days.
Others devised it, but I like the tag line on Embracing the Risk, too. Thanks. I’m just looking for some honest, meaningful discussion. :)
Best regards,
Kevin on December 23, 2006 at 2:58 AM
That was just perfect. Excellent song choice, too. You just have to (try to) sing along.
Merry Christmas to Michelle, Bryan and Allah.
What a talented group!

William2006 on December 23, 2006 at 3:33 PM
Kevin,
The reason English and German seem similar is because they are. English is a Germanic language, descended from the same ancestor German as Modern German. The first wave of proto-English speakers were the Angles (from which word “English” comes) and Saxons, “illegal” immigrants from Northern Germany. The Latin influences came later by way of the Catholic Church and the Normans.
Arnold
prairiemain on December 23, 2006 at 4:01 PM
Indeed – we need more of it!
Arnold, the prairiemain, is right. Here are a couple of sources to poke around in, Romance languages (I believe that French is most different from the other four), and Germanic languages.
Sorry all for the off-holiday topic – but very near and dear subject…
Entelechy on December 23, 2006 at 4:58 PM
Why wasn’t Bryan wearing a wookie outfit? That would have taken this to another level.
