As originally heard in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode for "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" written by Crow T. Robot and inspired by the 1989 classic film ROAD HOUSE starring Patrick Swayze as Dalton, the legendary "cooler" whose job it is to tame the rough and rowdy crowds at drinking establishments across America. This year, reddit and Joel Hodgson led a mighty chorus in this majestic, action-packed rendition of "Let's Have A Patrick Swayze Christmas This Year," meant to inspire redditors and all of us this holiday season. In the timeless words of ROAD HOUSE - be nice, until it's time to not be nice. The Lost Keys were the leaders of the acapella super group for this video. The Lost Keys are a New York City-based a cappella group. Founded in 2011 by alumni of William and Mary DoubleTake and the Bucknell Silhouettes, the group now features fourteen performers with unique backgrounds and interests. The Lost Keys specialize in contemporary (pop) a cappella, expanding off the beaten path to include jazz, folk, and other musical styles.

merry christmas and ping anyone else who is an MST3K fan..you’ll love it!
That’s fabulous, what a guy he was.
I'm sorry, I just can't cosign this one. I have my reputation to think about.
I withhold my LOL.
(I'm sorry Morgana. It's business, not personal)
P.S. Merry Christmas.
I’m not a guy, so I feel OK to use the word fabulous.
For a guy, maybe not so much. It was pretty funny.
I appreciate sophisticated humor. The ONLY thing that remotely saved it is the fact that it was a reference to a semi obscure cult classic and the ironical fact that these clean cut all American types were singing a goofy Christmas song.
The reference allows people to look at it and go, "Oh, I know that movie and recognize those lines. And I liked that movie. Therefore I think this is a funny video."
But, I hold no grudge against anybody else that finds it humorous. I will grudgingly give it a "cute" rating if that will make you feel better.
You're right. The gays stole "fabulous" so we normals can't touch it with a ten foot pole, lest we catch faggotry.
A shame, really.
We need all our words.
Regardless of my love for Patrick Swayze, I do think it was the seriousness and formality of the chorus that made it laughable.
So I think that is close to what you’re saying.
Like the rainbow has been stolen. I used to love the rainbow.
They are culturally appropriating our words and you girls' makeup, hair products, fashion sense, and interior design skills. You guys have even more cause to be offended than us dudes.
Rise up, ladies, and take back your culture!!!!

Patrick Swayze Christmas Ping
The movie Santa Claus conquers the Martians is hilarious. “Roger...paper towel rolls are on the patio table.”
Thanks! :)
Hah! Watched “Roadhouse” night before last. Wife had never seen it but loves Patrick Swayze, so she got an original thrill.
Thank you! Won’t you?
It’s my way or the highway... in Tom’s sweet tenor voice.!
