Hi. This woman obviously has a New York accent, but it seems to be ... different in some way. Does anyone recognize if it is a variation of the New York accent, specific to some borough or specific area of NYC? Thanks in advance.

Alternative mix of the song. Al: "[Engineer] Tony Papa and I liked the alternate mix because we thought it sounded more 'Phil Spector-y' but ultimately decided that the official mix was better for purposes of the album."

Al, 2014: > It was a simple enough video to direct. 98% of that video is basically stock-footage clips from public-domain Cold War footage. There was really only one shot at the end, which was easy enough for me to direct. That was also a video the record label did not want to make, because for some reason they thought a Christmas song about nuclear annihilation wouldn’t really play during the holidays. But I wanted to have a Christmas song out, so I funded the video myself; it wasn’t that expensive.
