Tired of streaming the same old holiday tunes? Fret not, for Loose Tapestries (the gag project between UK comedian Noel Fielding and Kasabian frontman Serge Pizzorno) have unveiled a new kind of Christmas song, one they explain can be "sprinkled into the eyes of children." You can sample their ecstatic "Can't Wait for Christmas" right now via a new video.

Following an intro that explains that the pair of minstrels were "drunk on eggnog" while penning the track, "Can't Wait for Christmas" unfolds as a funky festive number about kiddies being thankful for their gifted joysticks, socks, Rolex watches and more.

Hopping on the track mid-cut is actor Idris Elba, who raps about downing Baileys and the prospect of a new Xbox.

You can sample the rest of the seasonal offering below.

As previously reported, Fielding heads off an a North American comedy tour next spring, making his way to Toronto and Vancouver along the way. You'll find the show details over here.
