New Christmas Classic from The Killers: “Joel the Lump of Coal”

Killers Christmas

The Killers sought some help from Jimmy Kimmel in putting together their annual Christmas song. The result is a catchy and surprisingly touching song, “Joel the Lump of Coal.” The song tells the story of a lump of coal named Joel who is excited to be a Christmas present before learning the disappointing news that Santa Claus’s plan is to use him to teach a naughty boy a lesson. But, since this song is a Christmas song, it ends with a heart-warming twist.

Below is a video of The Killers playing the new Christmas classic, “Joel the Lump of Coal.” Check it out.

The video of Jimmy Kimmel working with The Killers to write the song is on YouTube too. The Killers’ “Joel the Lump of Coal” benefits the RED campaign to raise awareness about AIDS.
