Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly Take on Bing and Bowie’s “Little Drummer Boy”

Sometime in the early 2000s, some genius low-level worker at RCA decided it’d be a brilliant idea to re-release the “Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth” collaboration by David Bowie and Bing Crosby from Crosby’s 1977 holiday television special in the US. In the last five years or so, it’s moved from a mostly unknown gimmick to, dare I say, the standard pop rendition of “Little Drummer Boy” on holiday radio.

Comedians Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly have re-created the entire scene, shot for shot, and play it straight for a full five minutes, proving that there’s plenty of humor in staying small.
