Holiday songs are typically a safe haven of warm fuzzies and cheerful jingles—but not in Beldon Haigh’s world. The band’s latest track, ‘White House Meltdown Christmas Day’, turns the holiday genre on its head with a satirical twist that’s as bold as it is hilarious. Featuring a wildly entertaining narrative about Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un celebrating Christmas together, the song is a perfect blend of sharp political humour and festive fun.
Musically, the track delivers everything you want from a Christmas anthem. Channeling the grandeur of ’70s holiday classics, ‘White House Meltdown Christmas Day’ is filled with lush arrangements, joyous melodies, and a powerhouse chorus that begs to be sung along with. Yet it’s the lyrics that steal the show, weaving a comical tale of egos and power struggles under the guise of holiday cheer. The chorus, with its tongue-in-cheek lines like “We’re gonna have a pyong yang dingdong Hogmanay,” perfectly captures the absurdity of the song’s premise while remaining oddly catchy.
The real cherry on top is the accompanying video, a riotous spectacle that matches the song’s satirical energy. Set in a lavishly decorated White House, the video features eerily lifelike portrayals of Trump, Putin, and Kim Jong Un engaging in everything from petty squabbles over presents to dramatic arguments about the big red button. The visual humour is spot-on, with over-the-top decorations like Trump-shaped ornaments and a tree-topper in his likeness providing the perfect backdrop. Boris Johnson’s cake-smashing cameo at the end adds a brilliant touch of chaotic comedy, tying everything together in a way only Beldon Haigh could pull off.
In a year that’s already seen the band dominate the charts with ‘Elected’ and push creative boundaries with their rock opera ‘Dystopia’, ‘White House Meltdown Christmas Day’ feels like a well-earned celebration of their unique artistry. It’s a song that entertains while also sparking conversation, proving once again that Beldon Haigh is unafraid to challenge norms and infuse humor into the most unexpected places—even Christmas. For fans of smart, irreverent music, this track is a must-listen holiday treat.
