Episode 8
Sunday, 15 December, 2024
Send us a textIn the 40th episode of TnT's Hit Songs From Mars, our little elves wonder if "they really know it's Christmas" as they take a 40-year dive into Band Aid's 1984 song of a similar name. Tom reveals his vulnerable side by commending the stars of the day for putting their egos aside and coming together for a humanitarian cause, while Ty remains the same cynical scrooge as ever. The boyz reconcile, in the true spirit of Christmas, by agreeing that "We are the World" sucked and for "Northern Lights", tears, and all of Canada's top talent, were not enough.
