Straight No Chaser - the mastermind a cappella group behind this song and others like it, have proved that this really is a youtube world. Years ago when they first formed, they performed this song for a small audience of a few hundred and put their performance up on youtube. It received more than 9,000,000 views just through word of mouth. They were given a recording contract by someone who'd only heard of their fame from the internet. Since then, they've been on tour, singing every night in front of sold out stadium crowds. Their latest CD, Holiday Spirits, has been selling like crazy. Unfortunately, the original video with 9,000,000 views was removed earlier this week to make way for their more recent performances. But the song, a medley of holiday tunes set to The 12 Days of Christmas, is still the same, and still as good as ever.
