The Milverine mania of 2011 may be (thankfully?) over and done with, and the current winter weather may be less than ideal for Milwaukee’s favorite shirtless power-walker, but that hasn’t stopped someone from going ahead and recording a Milverine Christmas song. Oh, and it’s sort of a “punk-rock” Milverine Christmas song, because it wouldn’t be as funny if it weren’t.
Like the “Legend Of Milverine” song that surfaced back in October, “X-Mas With Milverine” comes courtesy of Milwaukee’s Jim Farrell, who seems to be channeling Johnny Rotten as he spits out this chorus: “You don’t need Frosty / you don’t need Batman / you don’t need Rudolph / or Hugh Jackman / It’s Christmas with Milvie / Christmas with Milverine.” It may not be “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” but at least it’s not a Jingle Cats Milverine song. (Someone please make a Jingle Cats Milverine song.)
