| Description | United Kingdom, 1962. Krazy Krismas As KK Comes Home: Lemmy Mabaso Goes Up. When he was 15, the cast gave Lemmy the clarinet he's now playing on the balcony of his London flat. Within a week, and without a single lesson, he was happily knocking out recognisable tunes on the "special clarinet." The theme song from the show declared, "'King Kong,' nothing will stop him," but now a man named Hylton has done just that. It was British showman Mr. Hylton who decided to close the show as it reached Birmingham. Now, some of the cast will be back home in time, not for a White Christmas, but for the truly "krazy" one you get back home. |
