Two weeks from our bleak midwinter, Big Freedia is coming through for y'all. New Orleans' Queen of Bounce has just released an EP titled A Very Big Freedia Christmazz, and it serves up the booty-shakin' holiday cheer we all need. It includes the requisite covers — "'Twas The Night" and "Jingle Bell Rock" — rendered ridiculous and glorious, plus two originals ("So Frosty" and "Santa Is A Gay Man").
But it all opens with the greatest gift of all: "Rudy, The Big Booty Reindeer," in which we're blessed to substitute Big Freedia's airhorn-level bootybootybooty sample with rudyrudyrudy and this Christmazz miracle:
But Santa looked at Rudy's rear
And said, "Bring that ass over here
I need a break from all this work
Won't you teach me how to twerk?"
A Very Big Freedia Christmazz is out now via iTunes.
