HOLIDAY SPECIAL: Ho Ho Ho (It's Your Mum)

It's a classic non-demoninational holiday special episode, so we go off book and find a music historian to explain their favourite holiday musical moment. George Greggenmeyer shares his bootleg recording of "Ho Ho Ho (It's Your Mum)", and we find out about the historic inaccuracies behind The Little Drummer Boy. A study of an anonymous holiday recording and its unlikely cultural footprint, questioning authorship, novelty music, and how misattribution becomes tradition. || Obscure Music History is a podcast investigating the anthology of rarities and B-sides of unpopular music. Produced by Tom Hogan. "Ho Ho Ho (It's Your Mum)", and all music from Obscure Music History, are available on all streaming platforms.
