According to Wikipedia:
Coal is a combustable black (or blackish/brown) sedimentary rock. Any sentence containing ‘combustible’ and ‘rock’ sounds good to us!
Besides… it takes millions of years to produce, or something like that. Does your loofah and bath bomb stocking stuffer boast this epic of a backstory?
Didn’t think so.
In honor of Kingston & GreyStarr’s new holiday single “Forgive Me Santa”…. We are going to countdown the top five Christmas BANGERS that pay homage to our favorite Christmas symbol of bad behavior.
#5 Joel the Lump of Coal - The Killers.
Not just hilarious but for a good cause! The Killers regularly collaborate with The Red Campaign every year. Debuted on the Jimmy Kimmel show, Joel the Lump of Coal is exactly what it sounds like...a lump of coal named Joel with a heart of gold.
#4 Frosty the Snowman - Willie Nelson
One GOAT singing about another GOAT. The eyes are the window to the soul and Frosty’s eyes were two beads of it.
#3 Coal for Christmas - Tommy Byrne
Did you think we wouldn’t put a DIY single? Clocking in at 1300 views on Youtube as of this writing, Tommy Byrne’s “Coal for Christmas” has everything- A Lana Del Rey-esque pre song monologue, a dad hat and a guy in a reindeer suit pounding shots. Get on this one early. It’s so epic, it even has credits! Looks like it might have been filmed at The Stone Pony.
#2 Christmas in a Coal Mine - AJ Lee
Okay so it’s not about coal, but the people behind the coal. Recorded in 2010, AJ Lee was only 12 years old when she recorded an ode to her coal miner dad.
#1 Forgive Me Santa - Kingston & GreyStarr
Did you think we weren’t going to put Kingston & GreyStarr’s “Forgive Me Santa” at #1 ?!!
This song has everything... fast riffs, chord changes and a little spoken word about everyone's favorite fossil fuel…. say it with us… “No gifts from the pole, just a box of coal.. hey!”
