Following in the footsteps of reimagined yuletide music of yore comes snethyxmasparty, featuring seasonal cello-and-kazoo favorites nipnees nuug n’blinting blaizdos and nuntos durgi​-​dog. Each track has lyrics inside.

To quote the artiste:

always have loved xmas melodies
some of the best ever
never cared to learn the lyrics
too serious
so i sat down one night and busted out 16 songs with multiple verses
i got fired up
then i recorded it on my 4 track and aimed for a warm and fluffy sound
all live no overdubs

The kazoo really elevates these tracks. Thanks.

P.S. I have to say I prefer the "literal" video of MeFi's holiday classic.

there's also the still-open (just) Attn Tiny Desk Concert Booking-Person fpp about Rushad.

snethyxmasparty has been on heavy repeat chez scruss, to the immense regret of everyone nearby

I'm sure there are many carolers, especially those who have been at the wassail, who think that "nuntos durgi-dog" are the actual lyrics.
