My favorite version of the much-parodied song. If you like music, and suspect that you could get along just fine without a bunch of milkmaids and leaping lords and all that poultry, give this one a try.

One of the annoying things about believing in free will and individual responsibility is the difficulty of finding somebody to blame your problems on. —P. J. O’Rourke

Thanks for all your Christmas music – seems i’m not allowed to see this one in my country!

Well, that’s a drag. I wonder why it will play in some countries and not others?
Try this one and see if it works:

Hah, it wasn’t available to play here in Australia, but I tracked it down. And, it was good!

I’m glad you were able to find it. I can’t figure out why these things only work in some places.

This parody is in the top tier of musical humor: so clever and so well played/sung that it stands up to repeated listening, long after LOL has yielded to familiarity.

I agree — I get a kick out of it every time I listen to it. 🙂

Strange, I’m in Spain and the message I got was the uploader has not made this video available in your country. Shame.

I think “unavailable in your country” is in response to different copyright enforcement in different countries.
I’ve been playing with VPN – it gives me a choice of locations I appear to be. “Americas” is my usual setting. I’m not sure where in “Americas” the IP is, but I think it must be outside the USA, because with the VPN on, I sometimes hit “unavailable” sites (many tv/news websites) and some videos; also Patriot Retort and my weather station don’t like me .
Anyway, I switch off the VPN and most things become available again. I’m back in the USA. Maybe ye Europeans can get a VPN service with a USA IP. (Don’t ask me how; I only use it because it’s built into my browser.)
There’s always some way to work around the Internet roadblocks, even in China (but don’t get caught!!).

We have an American friend in China and he uses a VPN all the time.
