I should add--thanks for the link. I found it oddly compelling. Yes, it's a pisstake on the music, but it's operating on a pretty high level. Kudos for the uninterrupted take, too. posted by yoink at 9:36 AM on December 5, 2011 [1 favorite]
I'm pretty sure it's not taking the piss. I'm pretty sure it is 100% sincere.
And that is why it is awesome. posted by pts at 9:59 AM on December 5, 2011 [2 favorites]
Wow. This is the first "holiday themed" thing I've seen this year that actually made me feel good. Thanks. posted by kinnakeet at 10:09 AM on December 5, 2011 [3 favorites]

Yes. And that mustache she's sporting at the end is 100% genuine, too. posted by yoink at 10:46 AM on December 5, 2011
one shot! (until the end). Excellent! posted by growabrain at 10:55 AM on December 5, 2011
The police-car lighting at the end was a nice New York touch. posted by dhartung at 11:22 AM on December 5, 2011
I don't get the mustache/costume change at the end? (Don't make me look for & watch Mariah Carey's video, please). I <3 Christmas music, the cheesier the better, and this is a fantastic complement. Also these guys are terrific dancers. posted by Fui Non Sum at 11:42 AM on December 5, 2011

That studio has special multi-colored lights that play along the facade. Photo:

Now, if I find out that you're secretly a Broadway dancer and were being ironic I will be much ashamed.... posted by Shotgun Shakespeare at 1:53 PM on December 5, 2011 [1 favorite]
The move at 2:22 is my favorite and I might make my husband learn it with me to be performed never. posted by spec80 at 7:08 PM on December 5, 2011
