Watch The Killers debut their new Christmas song, ‘Joel, the Lump of Coal’

On last night episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Killers debuted “the greatest holiday song ever recorded by non-chipmunks” aka their latest Christmas song, ‘Joel, the Lump of Coal’.

Brandon Flowers and co. continued their seasonal tradition of recording a new Xmas song for charity every year.

The track is out now, with proceeds from the song going towards the Global Fund to fight AIDS, via RED.

Each year we like to spread out and collaborate with our friends. This year, after staying up way too late drinking ‘nog with our pal Jimmy Kimmel, we made yet another one, about a lump of coal. We’re really excited for everyone to hear it,” says The Killers’ Ronnie Vannucci.

After dismissing Taylor Swift covers and a YOLO-themed number, they ended up coming up with the below, ‘Joel, the Lump of Coal’.
