Hey there! So, this song is like a super fun and playful version of the classic Christmas carol called “Joy to the World.” It was recorded for this awesome Holiday Sampler, but you can also find it on this bootleg CD called Stranger Than Pulp Fiction. Oh, and it’s also on this rad album called KROQ Christmas Party, where they call it the Christmas Medley.
Now, let’s get into the lyrics! It starts off with “Joy to the world, the Lord is come!” and it’s all about how the earth should welcome its King. And then it’s all about how heaven and nature are singing along too. They’re like “And heaven and nature sing, and heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.”
But wait, there’s more! The song goes on to say that this King rules the world with tooth and nail, and we all have to follow Him. It’s kinda mysterious why we have to, but we just do. And it’s like “And He shall rule the world, and He shall, and He shall rule the world.”
Okay, so here’s where it gets a little silly. The song repeats that the King rules the world, and the singer is like “I’ve said that before, and now I think I’m done.” They can’t remember any more of this crazy song, but hey, it’s Christmas time! They’re like “But hell, it’s Christmas time, and he he, and ho ho ho, it’s Christmas time.”
So yeah, this song is just a super playful and excited take on “Joy to the World” for the holiday season. Enjoy!
