White House Meltdown Christmas Day (Single)
Beldon Haigh
As the holiday season approaches, Beldon Haigh has delivered a delightfully audacious Christmas anthem, ‘White House Meltdown Christmas Day’. Known for their knack for blending biting social commentary with irresistible melodies, the band takes a daring plunge into festive satire, creating a track that’s both hilarious and uncomfortably relevant. Packed with big choruses, witty lyrics, and a gleaming production reminiscent of ‘70s Christmas classics, this song is anything but conventional holiday fare.
At its core, ‘White House Meltdown Christmas Day’ imagines a surreal Christmas gathering at the White House, featuring Donald Trump celebrating with Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un. The lyrics read like a parody sketch, with Trump boasting about his “biggly” accomplishments and the trio engaging in petty squabbles over games and gifts—including a particularly tense argument about who gets to press the big red (nuclear) button. The track’s irreverence is amplified by its triumphant chorus, featuring the brilliantly absurd lines, “We’re gonna have a White House Meltdown Christmas Day, you’re gonna find a Kremlin Gremlin hiding in your sleigh.” It’s this perfect mix of humour and musicality that makes the song soar.
The accompanying video brings the track’s satire to life in technicolor glory. Set in a dazzlingly decorated White House dripping with Trump-themed ornaments, the visuals showcase a chaotic, comical dynamic between the authoritarian trio. Whether it’s Putin cheating at board games or Kim Jong Un sulking over gifts, the video plays out like a holiday sitcom with razor-sharp political undertones. A surprise cameo from Boris Johnson—smashing the Christmas cake in a fit of jealousy—adds yet another layer of comedic chaos, ensuring viewers are left both laughing and thinking.
With ‘White House Meltdown Christmas Day’, Beldon Haigh cements their reputation as masterful musical storytellers unafraid to poke fun at power and politics. Coming off a stellar year that included their chart-topping single ‘Elected’ and their acclaimed rock opera ‘Dystopia’, the band proves they can tackle the absurdities of the modern world with wit, charm, and a flair for the dramatic. This track is more than just a holiday hit—it’s a playful yet pointed reflection of the times, wrapped in tinsel and topped with a biting sense of humour.
