The music is nice because it was stolen from the excellent Lieutenant Kijé Troika melody by Prokofiev.
It’s no surprise to me that a music thief would trash the magical wonder of Christmas.
Wow! I never knew that about the Prokofiev/Troika thing. As soon as I you posted that, I went right to Youtube and found it, and you’re right, it’s not even sampled, it’s pretty much just lifted (at least in parts.) I’m listening to it now, and it’s really cool.
Thanks for that insight. After listening it is patently obvious it was hijacked. I could not understand why I loved the melody and HATED the lyrics. Now I understand.
