Santa Claus Conquers the Martians Metal Version.

This is a cover of the song "Hooray For Santa Claus", from the movie Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964). You can find the original version of the song somewhere here on YouTube, just look around.

I'm slightly proud of this one. I mean, it had to be done. Not entirely my fault, though: I think the idea was suggested by a friend. My memories on that are quite fuzzy. Perhaps there was no such friend and I just made the whole thing up in my mind so that I could live with myself after this.

All the clips come from the film itself (yes, even the US Air Force stock footage and the recurring rocket shot, which is a sort of gag that you'll appreciate if you've seen the movie or the MST3K episode, and no, they don't make any more sense within the context of the movie). Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is happily in the public domain and can be watched via the Internet Archive at http://www.archive.org/details.php?identifier=santa_claus_conquers_the_martians. Theoretically. It's not working for me right now, but maybe it's just trying to protect me, so try to check it out.

Well, enjoy! Sort of.

Disclaimer: Do not take too seriously, unless you're going for the "humour-impaired git" persona, in which case that is exactly the thing to do.

The best part is that the silly and harmless lyrics sound absolutely diabolical when you sing them this way.
