"THE TWELVE BUGS OF CHRISTMAS," sung by The Sun Carolers, Sun Microsystems employees in Menlo Park, California under the direction of James Langdell who, each Christmas, "take their show on the hall" to sing and entertain their fellow workers with holiday favorites.

This one is, obviously, a parody of "The Twelve Days of Christmas," and its origin is uncertain. Suffice to say, it is a perennial favorite, particularly of software engineers, and has already endured for many years.

In the true spirit of Christmas, Sun would like now to invite Microsoft, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, IBM and others to, similarly, create a YouTube video related to our industry (now that Sun has typically broken through with the innovation...kidding!). But do go ahead, we'd love to see what others at our companies might come up with...who's next?

"TALIBAN TALIBAN" -VIDEO:  is "Loose Bruce" Kerr's latest parody, to the tune of "The Ballad of Paladin" by Faron Young from the hit TV show of the 1950's (Bruce's favorite, by the way). Sparked by the recent news of the 30K soldiers who'll be embarking for Afghansistan.

Loose Bruce Kerr is an irregular feature of the Dr. Demento Show and the Jim Bohannon Show on nationally syndicated radio.

Bruce opened for Weird Al Yankovic. Bruce records his audio tracks and videos in his garage in Mountain View, California, recording each instrument and vocal one at a time. Bruce resumed his legal career after 20 years off to pursue music. He is now Assistant General Counsel for Sun Microsystems in Northern California's Silicon Valley.
