An Insincere Christmas

Shanty Where Santa Claus LivesChristmas songs are supposed to be about peace and love ‘n’ stuff, right? Really sincere sentiments.

But we all know that sometimes Christmas can be crass and commercial.

(Although I have argued that this is actually a central part of the Christmas tradition and not an aberration; see here.)

Brit popster Robbie Williams offers one of the most insincere (and catchiest) expressions of holiday sentiment ever. He practically oozes oily cheer with every note.

Peace and mercy to all men
We’re gonna get boozed up again
Amber nectar, pub Messiahs
Roast our nuts on open fires
Push to find three wise men
You definitely won’t find a virgin
It ain’t my round, so I’ll be cheering
I believe in Christmas what do you believe in?

Jimmy Butler then delivers one of the filthiest Christmas songs of all time.

I wanna bring along my hatchet
My beautiful Christmas balls
I’ll sprinkle my snow upon your tree
And hang my mistletoe on your walls

Doesn’t it put you in the mood?
