Audio Advent Calendar #19: KITT Saves Christmas

Before Baywatch David Hasselhoff had another hit TV show: Knight Rider. Running from 1982 to 1986, it was the first of many shows based on a crime-fighting character paired with a high-tech vehicle; it inspired shows like Airwolf, Blue Thunder and Viper. While the vehicles in those other shows were impressive, none of them held a candle to Knight Rider’s car, KITT, short for Knight Industries Two Thousand (this was back when “2000” sounded futuristic and not “that was so six years ago”).

That’s because none of them saved Christmas — only KITT did that, and the tale is told in this so-bad-it’s-good rap number called KITT Saves Christmas. Enjoy!
