00:00I should be playin' in the winter snow, but I'ma be under the mist of sun.
00:05Light me up, put me on top, let's fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:09Light me up, put me on top, let's fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:14Merry Christmas to me, to all of your heart.
00:22You know you can see a head in your mind.
00:24Ooh!
00:25Hey, it's Nicki, and this is the best ever.
00:28The best ever.
00:29The best ever Christmas song.
00:33I know what you guys are thinking, you're probably like, I know Nicki, she's gonna pick, you know, the Jackson 5 Christmas album.
00:40Everything on there goes hard.
00:42Or, you know, Mariah Carey, you know, Nat King Cole, some great black artists who made an amazing Christmas song.
00:52Sorry to disappoint you, that's not what it's gonna be.
00:55My favorite Christmas song is by Lady Gaga, and it's her song, Christmas Tree.
01:00Because she's all about trimming the fur, but it's maybe not the fur spelled F-I-R.
01:06Christmas songs are awesome.
01:09I love listening to them with my mom whenever I go home for Christmas.
01:15We jump in her car, drive around town, look at the Christmas lights in all the different neighborhoods, and we put on the radio, not a CD or an MP3 or a phone, the actual radio.
01:28Put it on Magic 102, and we listen to Silent Night by The Temptations, and basically turn up in her car.
01:38I'm embarrassed to say this, I really am, but I love, love, love this song.
01:42It's called Mistletoe, and it's by Justin Bieber.
01:45Like, this is not one that you're gonna carol with your kids.
01:49This is not one that you're going to sing around the fireplace while you're roasting chestnuts with your grandparents.
01:56This is the Christmas song that you're, like, bumping in the club.
01:59What makes this song so amazing are, it's the Temptations, okay?
02:06Their voices, the cadences, how they come in, they echo each other.
02:12They, they're, they're just, have you ever heard the Temptations?
02:16I'm not a Justin Bieber, uh, B-bet.
02:19What, what are the Bieber, Bieber fans called?
02:21Belieber, that's what it is.
02:22I'm not like a Belieber.
02:23I don't follow Justin Bieber's career.
02:25I don't really care about Justin Bieber at all.
02:27But this song, Under the Mistletoe?
02:29Girl, it is so good.
02:31It's catchy.
02:32It's got a little groove to it.
02:34And, you know, after a while, you get tired of hearing Mariah Carey every Christmas.
02:39Every Christmas.
02:40All I want for Christmas is you.
02:42Okay, girl, we get it.
02:43You know, that's a classic song.
02:45It's great.
02:46That's wonderful.
02:47I love a good Nat King Cole, um, you know, chestnuts roasting on the open fire.
02:52Um, classic Christmas.
02:53That's great.
02:54But if you want a little groove, a little, uh, uh, uh, na, na, na.
02:58Justin Bieber has it.
02:59Lady Gaga stuff is always cool.
03:01It's always really, it's almost always really raunchy, which is just fun for me.
03:06And the fact that, you know, you're combining fun, like, maybe NC-17 times with Christmas.
03:14It's just like, well, you know, what do you think they were doing after Baby It's Cold Outside?
03:18I'm just saying we might as well be upfront with it, right?
03:21Like, we all know.
03:22We know.
03:23You know.
03:24You know.
03:25You know.
03:26Not only is it just one of those very traditional, classic Christmas songs, they put that je ne sais quoi on it.
03:33They put that salt on it.
03:35They put that salt on it.
03:36It's like, they, they just took pats of butter and just, just ate it and just marinated their voices with it.
03:45And just gave you some woo woo.
03:48Woo woo woo woo.
03:49No, I can't do it.
03:50I can't do it.
03:51I just love it.
03:52Like, I love the melody.
03:54I love the, with you, shawty with you.
03:57That's so like, it's so like urban and hip.
04:00It's not like old school.
04:01He called her a shawty.
04:02You know what I'm saying?
04:03It's cute.
04:04And you know, it's just about love and Christmas and it makes me feel like young and I don't know, warm.
04:10It's cute.
04:11Oh God.
04:12I'm embarrassed for liking this song.
04:13I really am.
04:14I wanted to like something more elevated, more sophisticated Christmas.
04:19And I realized, you know, who I want to be and who I am as a person who likes Christmas music is not, not necessarily matching up.
04:36Y'all need to listen to him.
04:40It feels like jingle bells and snowfall and, um, you smell Christmas in the song.
04:46How can you take a classic song and then turn it into, to gold, into platinum?
04:55Just add the temptations.
04:57What's your favorite song for Christmas?
