Pop-punk parody of I'll Be Home for Christmas, recorded by blink-182 in October 1997 and first issued as a radio promo that year, then given a commercial single release by MCA in 2001. Its Scrooge-like narrator attacks carolers and spends Christmas Eve in jail; the lyrics include a crude prison double entendre.
Performance tips
- Deadpan the verses and save the energy for the fast choruses.
- The opening carol bit is a fun setup, so play it sweet before the punk kicks in.
- Note the adult double entendre before choosing it for a family crowd.
