Actually, "for sure," is a general American phrase. It's so ubiquitous in our conversation that it's almost a synonym for "yes."
Oh -- I'd never consciously heard it before and had no idea! I assumed adding that on to the end of your sentence was a local trick of speech... or perhaps even a catchphrase common to that group of friends ;-)
It was the blue-green lighting and random props in the background that threw me off from Geoff's latest -- I think there was a step ladder, and a table, and a gramophone? It was neither modern nor old-fashioned, just cluttered.
That gramophone has definitely featured before -- I think in "Monster Mash" and "House of the Rising Sun". I imagine there's a limit on what they've actually got available as props...
The weird thing about the lighting was that it was basically 'outside after dark', but the set was very much an interior one. Which makes you wonder why the singer is posed in the middle of an unlit room with the curtains billowing at the windows -- if they wanted a carol-singing vibe, they could presumably have done an exterior house wall set?
The light plus the costume choices originally made me think of some kind of science-fiction setting when I saw the teaser thumbnail -- I definitely wasn't expecting a Christmas carol! Dark, high-necked, close-fitting costume plus blue/green hues equals between decks on a spaceship :-D
