The Killers keep their annual string of Christmas singles going, once again with proceeds benefitting the AIDS charity (RED). This year's entry recruits Jimmy Kimmel as a guest, generating a late-night viral video about the making of the single in the process, including Kimmel's comedic input into the writing of the song. As for the song, it's a sentimental fairy tale about what happens when Santa sends a bad kid a lump of coal, set to a typically Killers dramatic rock soundscape. Not my favorite of the Killers' holiday efforts, but it's of a piece with all the others. Only on iTunes for the time being, here's the "making of" video.
