The DiGiallonardo Sisters performed a parody version of “Do You Hear What I Hear?” on, I believe, 12/24/16’s edition of _Prairie Home Companion._

> Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy…  
> “BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”

The song was hilarious and I haven’t been able to find it anywhere. My Google Fu is failing me. Help, please.

Supposedly you can hear it on last.fm but I’m not signing up for it to verify.

I signed up and I don’t see a way to play the track. iTunes and Amazon Music don’t have it either.

Song begins at about 6:50.

It’s 12/17/11, the 12/24/16 date was a rebroadcast.

You can do an “inspect element” on the page to save the mp3 file locally.

I’ve never done inspect element before; can you walk me through it, please?

Right click on the play button, then choose “Inspect Element” in the menu. Then scroll up a bit to see the `<audio>` tag with the mp3’s URL in it. Then copy and paste that URL into your address bar.

That’s how I did it in Chrome: the exact wording may be slightly different in Firefox.
