I've never knowingly heard any other songs by Fleming & John, but this inspired blend of the words to "Winter Wonderland" to the tune of Led Zeppelin's "Misty Mountain Hop" is one of my "all time favorite holiday classics" as Fleming says in the intro. Many others have tried to mix holiday and Zeppelin, but F&J's is the top of the misty mountain. Over the hills where the spirits fly. The quote from "Black Dog" at the end: "Hey, hey, Rudolph with your nose so bright" would have been great if it segued into an alternate holiday version of LZIV.
After I heard this song, my head kept hearing a version of "Christmas Time Is Here" sung to the tune of "Shake Some Action". By a band called the Flamin' Guaraldis (get it?). It could have a youtube video with Peanuts kids dancing around to "Shake Some Christmas" or "Christmas Action" or whatever you want to call it. Sounds like a recipe for pure holiday gold to me.
