First one I ever saw, so it's got a special place for me.

I love Santa Claus Conquers the Martians solely for "A Swayze Christmas", my favourite Xmas song ever.

CROW: Uh, Cambot, shoot 'em the tune. Uh, okay, you'll just have to stay with
me, everybody, okay? Uh, your part's written out. Let's have a Patrick
Swayze Christmas, by Crow T. Robot.

JOEL: "Paul, let's have a Patrick Swayze Christmas"?

CROW: Right. Hit it, Cambot!

SERVO: Oh! Oh, I start. I get it. Hmm.

CROW: I'm sorry.

SERVO: Pick it up. "Open up your heart and let the Patrick Swayze Christmas
in."

CROW: "We'll gather at the Roadhouse with our next of kin."

SERVO: Not bad!

JOEL: "And Santa can be our regular Saturday night thing."

'BOTS: "We'll decorate our barstools and gather round and sing."

SERVO: "Oh, let's have a Patrick Swayze Christmas this year!"

CROW: "Or we'll tear your throat out and kick you in the ear!"

JOEL: Hold it, hold it a sec. Cambot, stop it. Uh, Crow, I don't know if I
think this is an appropriate sentiment anymore for Christmas.

CROW: Hey, what? Like a good action sequence don't belong in Christmas?

JOEL: Well, no, it's just that I've never heard of an action sequence in a
Christmas carol before.

SERVO: Well, yeah!

CROW: Well, then grab hold o' your socks and read on, Joel Robinson!

SERVO: Okay, pick it up from measure 20, Cambot. Lovely intro, though. Very
tasteful.

CROW: Thank you.

SERVO: I like that. "It's my way or the highway, this Christmas at my ba-ha-
haar."

CROW: "I'll have to smash your kneecaps if you bastards touch my car!"

JOEL: "I got the word that Santa has been stealing from the till."

'BOTS: "I think that that right jolly old elf better make out his will, ohh,"

ALL: "Oh, let's have a Patrick Swayze Christmas, one and all. And this can be
the haziest . . . this can be the laziest. . . this can be the Swayziest
Christmas of them *AAALLLLLLLLLL*!"

SERVO: "La la la laa ha HAAA!"

CROW: How long before it becomes a standard?

JOEL: I think you gotta come with me. C'mon.

CROW: Waaaaah!

SERVO: We'll be right back. Oooh. Save a leg for me! Heh heh heh.
