In the future, after the nuclear holocaust, all that will be left are cockroaches and, apparently Christmas spirit.
Christmas is always a time for novelty songs but no one rocks the novelty song world quite like Weird Al Yankovic. In this case, Yankovic blends the 60s "Wall of Sound" Xmas songs with Cold War nuclear paranoia.
One of Yankovic's darker songs, the song basically concerns an apocalyptic Christmas Eve as air raid sirens fill the air and atom bombs are dropping everywhere.
You don't really hear to much nowadays since Ground Zero has become the go-to name of the site of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City. But it's still a really entertaining song that pokes fun at the inherent paranoid nature we all have.
