The
Killers recruited Jimmy Kimmel to help write their annual Christmas
song, and it wasn't as huge a mistake as it could have been. After a lot
of dicking around in Christmas sweaters, they finally arrived at "Joel
the Lump of Coal."
Joel fits
the mold of downtrodden Christmas heroes like Rudolph the Red-Nosed
Reindeer and Hermey the Elf Dentist, who have to make the most of their
circumstances after getting dicked over by capitalist Christmas tyrant
Santa Claus. The music video is even tinged with (the CGI version of)
that classic '70s Rankin-Bass animation style.
