I suppose I didn't make it clear enough that the singer was not in the
video - hence my theory about his being dead, or not very cute.
Louis Armstrong and Dean Martin are both dead, so they fit that
criteria. Didn't Dean Martin die on Christmas eve?
- Has to be said that if I knew what the guy looked like I could
google-image search on all the singers names until I saw the right one.
I expect I would recognise Martin or Armstrong anyway though.

I am quite into the Armstrong theory, so just need to hear it to check -
unfortunately, my computer is not too well and wont stream from that site.

anyway, I shall let you know when I find out - thanks!
