Imagine a manic Eurodance version of 'Jingle Bells'. Ridiculous, right?

Yep. But that hasn't stopped Swedish club master Basshunter reworking the perennial Christmas favourite into an airhorn-adorned, hands-to-the-sky stomper.

Picture the "one-horse open sleigh" after a going-over from the Pimp My Ride team and you're on the right track.

Bizarrely enough, the most striking thing about the exercise isn't the shameless ransacking of tradition, but the tongue-in-cheek bearableness of it.

Granted, it's probably not the best choice with which to soundtrack your turkey dinner on the big day, but as the nation is doomed to hear the same schmaltzy nonsense on a loop for the next month anyway, perhaps a ludicrously souped-up 'Jingle Bells' is just what we need.
