It is a real, incredibly difficult magic trick---in music or comedy---to produce genius while you're seemingly doing next to nothing.
Whether you're Brian Wilson, Sandra Boynton or Will Ferrell & John C. Reilly, you are no less that a Master if you can create something mesmerizing, with a few mere strokes.
Witness Ferrell and Reilly in this hilarious version of "Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy." For the first 5 minutes of the video neither performer does anything but a fairly faithful recreation of the original Bing Crosby & David Bowie TV appearance. There is joke right at the end of the video, but otherwise, they don't appear to be doing anything.
And yet, I watched this video, crying/laughing.
Why is it hilarious? I can't quite say.
It's Christmas magic, I guess.
