It's that time of year again. I know you will want to have a sing-along at your office or home party, so I'm posting both the audio and the words to this Christmas Classic.

A masterpiece if I have ever heard one. I'm playing this at the house for the holidays for sure. Grin

Better make sure the proper licensing fees have been paid. Sounds like a full strap carrier on 75 metros.

So what year did this one hit wonder arrive? Saw a show recently using the same tune with slightly different words for a fast food place, Ding Fries all(are) Done. Would be interesting if the Vu song had inspired it.

No Todd, I'm not that talented. I got the song idea from that same Burger King video and just wrote some modified Tom Vu words while I was manning the wok at China King...  Grin

I never knew it was a BK thing, Tom. Was flipping channels and landed on a channel with an episode of Family Guy on it as the main character was singing it. Reminded me a lot of your version! I figured one of their writers came across your version and liberated it. 

We all know of your vast talents, from Tom Vu to Sgt Anderson. It goes without saying. Grin

Oh yeah, there's many versions out there. The link posted above went viral about four years ago when I picked up on it and changed it slightly. Listen to it and you will see other spin-offs listed on YouTube.  This one is my favorite with the Burger King guy taking about getting burned in the fries grease and needing skin grafts... Grin

But we have our own AMfone version, not even listed on YouTube.

Here's another one that's a scream:
