"Meteors are raining down, zombies marching through your town, tidal waves are heading right your waaay..." Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy wrote and performed a song about Christmas in 2020, and @JoshFlowers on Twitter edited clips of RiffTrax Christmas videos into it. It's APOCALYPSE CHRISTMAS. HO HO HO

I refuse to forget about the Robot War though. Those steel-plated bastards will pay

Weird Al: It's Christmas at Ground Zero
As a kid, that was probably my favorite Weird Al song. This probably says something about me as a person...

My favorite this year is Malinda Kathleen Reese's medley mashup entitled An Honest 2020 Christmas (help) trading off between her optimistic and pessimistic sides.

The Weird Al song isn't just in the same wheelhouse, it uses the exact same Christmas Bell B-Roll!
EDIT: Actually, uses several pieces of the same B-Roll. I wonder if they pulled a bunch from the Weird Al video when they were making theirs.

In the same genre (from 1984), the Aussie band Mental as Anything's Apocalypso (Wiping the Smile off Santa's Face).

These are great finds everyone! I am collecting songs of this kind of bent to use as time fillers for the MST Club Christmas Marathon, if anyone can point out more!
