One goofy, partial Christmas segue

I've never heard anyone approach "Joy To The World" the way Hagood Hardy did.  The energy level that the vocalists and instrumentalists convey on Hardy's 1980 version is fit for a marathon or a rocket launch.  Its late '70s dance feel mirrors that of Aragorn Ballroom Orchestra's theme from "Lord Of The Rings," which would sound smooth before it.
