Attack of the Murder Floofs

In case you aren't aware, Bhagpuss of Inventory Full has an annual Advent Calendar of music, culled from all ends of the Internet. I honestly don't know how he teases out all of the weird and obscure Christmas music he does, but I'm always grateful to enjoy the fruits of his labor.

So, in return, I'd like to provide him with a musical Holiday gift.

The origin of this particular piece of music lies in the Yule Cat of Iceland, discussed here on PBS' Monstrum:



As I watched the video, I noted that Björk had sang a cover of a poem about said Yule Cat, and set out to find it. There's a few copies out on YouTube, but I got this one from the "official" Björk channel:


Although I admitted expected something more modern and Pop-oriented --it is Björk, after all-- the song is most definitely neither Pop nor Rock, but a folk tune. And I found it really cool to listen to.

So, Happy Holidays, Bhagpuss!

Oh, you want another Christmas monster?

How about Krampus, then?
