God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen / We Three Kings - Barenaked Ladies & Sarah McLachlan - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductees Barenaked Ladies followed their politically minded sixth studio album Everything to Everyone (2003) with a lighthearted contribution to the festive canon for 2004 album Barenaked for the Holidays, released via Desperation and reaching number 64 on the non-Christmas Billboard album charts. Gifting their fans a stocking stuffed full of crackers and standards like “Carol of the Bells” and “Auld Lang Syne,” as well as their chintzy keyboard take on "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," a jesting version of "Jingle Bells" and multiple other festive-friendly fancies, the expansive album spawned its biggest hit in this spirited mashup of traditional Christmas carols "We Three Kings," and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" (originally recorded in 1996), which is elevated by the voice of Sarah MacLachlan. Michael Bublé also made an appearance on album track "Elf's Lament".
