80's "Saturday Night Live" Christmas skit????

Okay me and my sister used to watch SNL back in the 80's and every Christmas they would have this skit that involved these two women singers with big hair. They where really annoying singers all they sang were Christmas songs"here come the bells-Jingle-ling-ling" it was really funny. does anyone know what there names where on the show or what there group name was? or where can I find the skit so I can e-mail it to her. I already searched "You Tube" Please it would be much appreciated thanks!

You may be thinking of the "Sweeney Sisters." They were recurring characters who were like a lounge act, and they'd scat a lot. One was played by Nora Dunn. No matter what songs they were singing, they would always end with "Ding ding ding went the trolley, ring ring ring went the bell...," plus a bit of scatting.
Reply:OMG. I remember that. But I don't remember the skit name. I just saw it a few months back on VH1 for something though. I think it's on a best of tape.
