It was a novelty song about Christmas and had several pieces of classical music in it, as well as some Christmas music. The music was just 10-20 seconds of various tunes such as the can can, sugarplum fairy, and lots of other things- all a capella. It sounded like Ed Robertson from Bare Naked Ladies singing. |
