Have Yourself a Sweary Little Christmas

Have Yourself a Sweary Little Christmas is a Christmas-themed comedy album by the Amateur Transplants, released in 2010.[1]

Production

The album was created by Adam Kay and Suman Biswas who became famous after their song "London underground" went viral in 2005, receiving several million views on YouTube.[2] The duo began writing the songs for the album in 2009 and some of the songs from "Have yourself a sweary little Christmas" were played in live performances by the band throughout this year. These songs also appeared on their 2009 live album In Theatre,[3] which hit number 1 in the itunes comedy chart. They later decided to write a full Christmas album, with intention to release it before Christmas Day 2010. They were successful in doing so and the album parodied many famous Christmas songs including "A fairytale of New York" and "feed the world". The songs contain very coarse and often offensive language and lyrics, subsequently a bleeped version was released along with the album.[4] Both versions are available on iTunes , Amazon , spotify and CD.
