  3. The way I understand the story is that Bowie didn’t want to sing the song (too militaristic, I suppose.  Drummer and all that.), so Bing gave him an opportunity to write a duet piece.  This is it.  Now, I could be wrong about all this; I’m just sayin’.

  4. Huh. I didn’t know that. I was watching White Christmas last night and YouToogled Bing Crosby, and that’s what I came up with.
