"7 O'Clock News/Silent Night," Simon & Garfunkel
It's a gimmick, but it works. Simon and Garfunkel sing a simple arrangement of "Silent Night" while a fictional newscaster reads a bunch of really depressing stories (which all apparently happened in August, not December), including reporting on the death of Lenny Bruce.
Most heart-wrenching moment: The newscast starts barely perceptible and slowly slowly louder, but when the newscaster reaches the item about "Richard Speck, accused murderer of nine student nurses," there's a sudden boost in the volume and emotional intensity christmas
