Marilyn Manson is a kind of love, actually

Are you wishing for a festive yet disturbingly dystopian Christmas tune? Look no further. Musical mashup master Bill McClintock (previously) has just released a mashup of Marilyn and Mariah Carey singing "All I Want For Christmas Is The Beautiful People" (SLYT, NSFW: the usual provocative Marilyn Manson imagery and lyrics)

I’m gonna need to have a long think about whether this is the Christmas carol 2019 needs, or the carol it deserves.

Dystopian? I still prefer Jimmy Deanʻs "Little Sandy Sleighfoot."

Please tag these with 'mashup' to help me improve my karaoke game

As delightful as this was--and it was!!!--I still think it needed more Mariah. As, really, did all of Marilyn Manson's songs.

So I gather Thrusta's gone weird, as is the nature of our times, but if we're doing christmas songs...

How adorably dated Marilyn Manson seems these days. Those pants! The fun-house MTV faux-horror video. That clip of him playing live. Anyway, I offer this David Bowie/Bing Crosby mashup, for quaintness.

It was much longer than I feel comfortable admitting before I realized this song wasn't *actually* Tom Waits and Peter Murphy in a Christmas duet.

Mariah Carey scares me.

What about when she goes Go-go?

Oh man that's nicely done. The "ooaahhhhhhhh" vocal stinger from Manson on the chorus turnaround on Carey is an extremely chef kiss detail.

It was a bit too jolly, I thought.

I wish I could share a dronecore version of Gabriel's Message by Black Walls, but I think the artist took down all copies.
