Mr Enderby makes his comeback, and as usual he wants you to listen to a piece of music that is criminally underated:
"I'm old enough to have actually watched this incredible performance live on Nulle Part Ailleurs (aka NPA) on French TV Canal+, on the 23rd of November 1998. I've also seen the man live in concert many times, and it's exactly like this! If you're not flabbergasted by this performance, that means you're dead inside and you don't even deserve to be here."
Thank you, Mr Enderby (Mr Enderby doesn't like anyone).
I've remastered the audio and enhanced the video.
Enjoy! 🤘

Lyrics and Transcript:
"Loading up my truck,
A big ten wheeler baby,
Carryin’ lots of candy cane,
Stockin’ up more than a mistletoe,
Ask anybody that you want,
Ask any cat that you happen to know,
Well I drink more eggnog than malt liquor,
I wanna get you with that cocoa.
That’s right, man!
Clearing off my driveway,
Using lots of rock salt,
Dead racoon and a possum,
Spread out all over the asphalt,
That’s when I see those little tiny reindeer,
Caught up in the glare of my headlights,
Well I put on my gloves and I took that pill,
I wanna shift it through to high gear.
Come on!
Yeah up in high gear, baby,
Up in high gear,
Up in high gear, mama,
Come on, high gear!
Oh!
Lost all control,
Waying up in a snow drift,
Hot coffee in my lap,
Thinking about a law suit,
If you ever see me coming,
You better get on the side of the road,
Baby I won’t stop to think for one god d*mn second,
‘Cause I’m carrying such a heavy load.
That’s right!
I wanna talk about the blues!
