A Charlie Brown Christmas has been a staple of Christmastime joy and happiness since 1965 as well as a favorite of mine since I can remember. Now, while I truly love the music by the Vince Guaraldi Trio, I'll opt to take the Heavy Metal route with this dance party for no other reason than it's funny. The song used in this video is titled, Perfect Night For A Hanging (and what night isn't, honestly?), performed by the Christian (naturally) Metal band, Tourniquet.
Tourniquet is okay enough, I suppose…they've made a few decent thrash songs but overall, they're pretty corny (Christian Metal, remember?). Still, the joy to the world that is to be had with this pair up is as simple as watching the various Peanut characters singing the lyrics. It's just so hysterical that I cannot stop laughing! Okay, maybe it's not. Maybe it's only moderately funny and would be way better if it were a Black Metal band. Well, too late now…enjoy!
I dig. Never heard of Tourniquet though.

Hahaha, love it. Internet mash-ups are all too common these days and lots of are just sorta "meh", but this one brought a genuine smile to my face, and I am now only too ready to get out there and mosh for Jesus. *thumbs up*
ReplyDeleteThis is when I love seeing the results of people having too much time on their hands.

ReplyDeleteAnd Tourniquet has been around for a long time, which should really tell you how good they are!

Astro: Is there any other reason to mosh than for Jesus?! I'm with you, brother!
Ashlee: I know...I only wish I had all sorts of spare time to do stuff like that!
