Christmas Carols from... What Would Jesus Buy?

Yeah, everyone loves the same old holiday specials and movies, but this is my new favorite. If you like hilarious documentaries about consumerism and Christmas, this is the best one I've ever seen. Um. Only one.

Anyway, I promise you this will help you recapture the true holiday spirit. Fuck the Peanuts!


Here are the altered lyrics to popular Christmas Carols that appear in the film. People from the Reverend's church actually sing these carols to people in a suburban neighborhood and it freaks them out.

Try it, they might elicit a ho-ho-ho...

JOY TO THE WORLD
Joy to the world
In the form of goods!
Consume! Consume! Consume!
Bright plastic this and thats!??
For screaming little brats!

Take the SUV to the mall!
Take the SUV to the mall!
And buy, buy, buy, buy,
buy, buy, buy, buy it all!

All boys and girls!
The time has come!
Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!
Don't let the chain stores fool you
We've come around to school you
You don't need all that junk
You don't need all that junk
We don't, we don't
need so much junk.


DECK THE HALLS
Pack the malls with folks with money.
Fa la la la la, la la la la
'Tis the season to be dummies
Fa la la la la, la la la la

Squeeze our fat in Gap apparel
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Buy some junk for cousin Carol.
Fa la la la la, la la la la

See the hostile crowds before us!
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Grab that last toy, more stuff for us!
Fa la la la la, la la la la

Avoid the mob of greedy parents!
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Fake smiles are just for appearance!
Fa la la la la, la la la la

Here's the trailer for your amusement... love that Reverend Billy!


Peace & Love to all.
