A Fun New Christmas Song

If you’re like us, you have been listening to Christmas tunes since before Thanksgiving. We can’t help it, getting our Andy Williams, Elvis Presley, and Wham! fix takes more than 25 days.

Now, there’s a new song to add to your holiday playlist and we love it for its lightheartedness and accuracy about today’s culture. Performed by “Frozen” and “Veronica Mars” actress Kristen Bell along with a cappella group Straight No Chaser, “Text Me Merry Christmas” will have you laughing.

Samples lyrics include:

This holiday/You’ll be far away/And I’ll be all alone/So please remember/This December To fully charge your phone/And Text me Merry Christmas/Let me know you care

A Facebook message isn’t quite as sweet/I need more from @you than just a tweet/A snap on snapchat doesn’t last/And voicemail?/That’s from Christmas past/Text me Merry Christmas/Send a selfie too.

Straight No Chaser member Randy Stine said: “We wanted a Christmas song that spoke to how informal communication has become. As soon as we heard the first demo it was apparent that it had to be a duet … the only voice we heard singing this was Kristen Bell and she nailed every note and delivered the lyrics with the perfect comedic tone. We were hanging on her every word … when we weren’t looking at our phones.”
