christmas song identification needed...

just heard on the radio this morning: it was a live riff on "12 days of christmas" by what sounded like a classically trained male choir.
They started mixing up the lines around the 4th verse, and then working in lyrics from other songs (eg "... two turtle doves/and a Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer");
at the end they broke into "I have a dreidle" on the 12th verse, and then worked in a very good "Christmas down in Africa" to finish it off.
Audience was enjoying themselves and it was very well done.
Must know who did it.

Found it!
Slowpokes.

A Capella Men's Choir

Reader Abby Normal(!) writes in with an excellent question:
King's College Choir I miss the live version.
Yesterday we dumped a bucket of electrons on the Statue of Liberty and watched what happened.
So, the other day on television, I caught a rather nice rendition of Lennon's "Imagine." It was during an episode of Glee, which is newish show that has a lot of musical theatre elements (it's a favourite of my wife's).

That was awesome! Hadn't seen it before - they did an excellent job. Thanks for finding it. :)
