A man of tradition, Mac DeMarco is back with another rendition of a Christmas tune in honour of the season: his laidback version of "I'll Be Home for Christmas" — originally recorded by Bing Crosby in 1943 — has officially arrived under the tree.
And we mean that pretty literally, since the music video for his version stars none other than an inflatable Christmas tree. The tree wanders about town, looking for a place to call home and undoubtedly freaking out the neighbourhood.
DeMarco's holiday message to the people is simple: "I Hope [sic] your holiday season is full of love and tree [sic]." (It feels like altering the lyric to "I'll be home for Christmas / If only in my trees," was a bit of a missed opportunity, but okay.)
Watch the latest in the musician's annual series of festive offerings below.
Last year, DeMarco's musical gift to the world was his take on "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." For more of this year's jolliest, check out Exclaim!'s list of the best Canadian Christmas songs of 2021.
