Another Form of Relief

So we reached the end of our advent calender, and was there any other song that would be appropriate to wrap it all up? The only problem though is that I’m not entirely sure how to write about it, so I’ll keep this brief. I also imagine that pretty much everyone reading this will be familiar with it, and if you’re not, just skip my bullshit and head straight to the download. Nearly everything I read about it goes on about how it’s so great because it’s exactly the opposite of what a mainstream Christmas song is. The only problem in that is that it’s now just as mainstream as the “classics” it rebels against. This of course is no bad thing, but surely that in itself turns it into one of the Christmas staples. It’s also probably the only Christmas song where the use of “slut” and “faggot” are seen as acceptable.
