lotstradamus:

I don’t know if anybody outside of the UK knows this, but in 2009 the entire island of Great Britain was so fatigued with the X-Factor churning out mediocre xmas hits and somehow getting them to the top of the charts every fucking year that we all banded together to make Killing in the Name Of the chrimmy number one. now whenever the music channels do a crimbo #1 chart count down there’s a 5-minute Rage Against the Machine interlude where poor little Joe McElderry’s cover of The Climb should have been. merry christmas
