Best Alternative Christmas Music Vol. I (41 person items)"Jingle Bells (with the Andrews Sisters)
Hold on. I know there's nothing alternative about Bing Crosby. And there's definitely nothing out of the ordinary about the awful, inescapable noise that is Jingle Bells. I do however hold a special place in my heart for this particular recording. Everything falls apart toward the end and you get to hear ol' Bing sing "Holy Jesus Christ" and the Andrew Sister's crack up. Just a kind of nice holiday blooper.

Cartoon Verzions of Classic Hollywood Stars (16 person items)"Bing Crosby will be the MC here at the Ritzy Hollywood Nightclub.
The joke about the cost of dinner at the swanky Ciro's in 1941 seems spot on for dining-out in 2012.
Warner Brothers Cartoon Department big shots: assistant producer Henry Binder and producer Leon Schlesinger are the only Schlesinger employees who can afford to dine at Ciro's.

Color Blind Celebrities (11 person items)"
Bing’s loud clothing was fodder for many jokes back in the day – Bob Hope especially relished zinging Der Bingle for his bad taste. But it’s no wonder that Bing picked out such tacky pieces – he was, quite literally, color blind. “He will think something is a beautiful blue,” his wife once explained, “and it will turn out to be a bilious green.”"

I can try to play it on a player-piano (just like a child).
It's better if I just sing drumming my fingers :P
