The United States Navy Band is one of the most well respected musical groups within the Armed Forces. The band was formed in 1916, when a 16-member band from the USS Kansas was told to merge with the 17-member band from the Presidential Yacht, The Mayflower.

This new band was called the Washington Navy Yard Band, and they eventually changed their name to the United States Navy Band. Recently, a few members of the band decided to perform an a cappella version of a Christmas classic, and video of their performance has since gone viral!

Wearing their favorite Christmas sweaters, the five singers performed “The Christmas Can-Can” written by Walter Chase. The five singers are Chief Musician Michael Belinkie and 1st Class Dave Sigmon, Ben Bransford, Bill Edwards and Robert Kurth, and they performed DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C.

The song became popular after it was performed a cappella group Straight No Chaser, and it’s been making people laugh ever since! Here are some of the most hilarious lyrics in the song:

“Christmas season starting sooner every year. It’s October, stores with plastic Christmas trees ransack the mall. Shop ’til you lose your mind, spike the eggnog, sit back and watch Rudolph, Frosty, Tiny Tim, and Scrooge, the Grinch, or Charlie Brown … It’s time to do the Christmas can-can. If you can’t, can’t dance, well, that’s OK (not going to do the kick line) All you need is a tree, some lights, about a thousand presents. Wrap them up and pray for snow. Run to your closet. Find your Christmas sweater screaming carols all the way (fa-la-la-la-la). Maine all the way to California it’s the Christmas can-can Halloween to Christmas day.”

The five navy performers make the song even more amusing by putting their own unique spin on it. The entire audience was in stitches by the end of the song!
