Video: Dog Is Dead cover a Christmas classic

It’s been a fantastic couple of years for Dog Is Dead; the grotesquely named but incessantly gleeful Nottingham five-piece have gone from supporting fellow viral behemoths OK Go to receiving major plaudits and airplay from several BBC DJs. They even starred as themselves in Skins (no, really).

Now, despite their rather infuriatingly lax attitude to actually recording anything (where’s the album, lads?), they’ve taken some time out from what is surely a busy festive period for them to record a cover of “Christmas Wrapping”, a song partially about forgetting cranberries while cooking dinner. Suitably barmy then.

I’ve not a clue if this is a session video or just a self-produced one, but it’s fantastic nonetheless. It’s available as a free download from their official site (or just use this direct link).
