Back announcing I heard on KCFM in 1984: "John Denver and The Muppets there with 'The 12 Days Of Christmas,' and Miss Piggy on the Ba-dum-bum-bums."
At just about any other time of year, sung Ba-dum-bum-bums would be left uncredited on the air.
For a reverential holiday, Christmas has its appealing irreverent aspects, as well. Adding some levity to the "Five gold rings" lyric is one of them.
