It
was inevitable. Coronavirus
Christmas songs and parodies I
mean. I easily found a dozen on YouTube and there were many more, mostly homemade and amateur. Celebs and semi-celebs posted professional
videos featuring original songs—Justin
Bieber and a choir made up of British National Health Service workers
collaborated on a charity song and video a remix of the star’s single Holy,
Covid Christmas by rapper Trisha
Paytas, and Disinfects the Halls by mid-level country star Chris Stapleton off of a whole album of pandemic
Christmas music. But parodies by YouTube stars dominate.
It
is quite fitting that The
Twelve Days of Christmas, the holiday song once voted the “most annoying,”
was satirized by several performers each with their own take. I understand why a lot of folks were irked by
the original, but my personal list
of annoying and/or detestable holiday
songs include Dominick the Donkey, Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer,
and is capped by the loathsome Christmas Shoes. Be that as it may, The Twelve Days of Christmas is long and repetitive, just like days of Covid-19 isolation.
From
several possible candidates I
plucked one by a duo called Jon + Jon about who may be affiliated
with the New Life Church in Eugene, Oregon. I otherwise know nothing about them, but here
is their take, Twelve Days of Christmas Covid Edition.
