‘Corner Gas’ star releases Yule tune
TORONTO (CP) – First he conquered Canadian TV prime time, now comic Brent Butt is taking aim at the music industry.
Butt, the star of CTV’s sitcom hit Corner Gas, is releasing a record single to the nation’s radio stations called Christmas in Dog River.
It’s not so much a carol, or even a song, but basically Butt, in a recording studio, trying to convince the audio engineers that his riffing on some classic holiday tunes is an original composition and not just a plug for his show’s upcoming Christmas special episode, Merry Gasmas.
The three-minute track was written by Craig Northey who is also heard on the recording as Butt tries to disguise his version of Jingle Bells and other familiar seasonal tunes.
