"The Twelve Days of Christmas" is an iconic Christmas carol about gifts received from a "true love," including golden rings, french hens, calling birds, swans-a-swimming, lords a-leaping, and a partridge in a pear tree, among other things — but there's more! So much more.
The longest Christmas song of all time delivers all the gifts you could ever ask for (and didn't ask for) and more in "The 179 Days of Christmas" at nearly nine HOURS! At a whopping 8 hours and 56 minutes, this is the perfect song to play at your Christmas party to prank your family and friends.
Created by illustrator Joren Cull and musician AJ Ing in 2018, "The 179 Days of Christmas" is truly the song that never ends. It starts off just as "The 12 Days of Christmas" does, with a partridge in a pear tree, and continues on to the twelve drummers drumming. But then, it continues on to "13 comfy cushions," "14 singing Furbies" and goes way beyond. We're talking about 179 DAYS!
The track, posted to YouTube, is accompanied by animation of a bearded man in a Santa hat with a finger puppet on one of his fingers. And If you can get to day 179, good luck understanding that day's gift, because at that point, it's just gibberish. Needless to say, it's easy to see how this song can go on for almost nine hours.
