Beldon Haigh’s ‘White House Meltdown Christmas Day’ is a wickedly clever slice of holiday satire that doesn’t just jingle bells—it drops a mic, presses a big red button, and chuckles maniacally while doing so. Packed with absurdly prophetic lyrics and a chorus catchier than a Christmas cold, this song takes the concept of a festive anthem and turns it on its politically skewed head.
The track’s comedic genius is matched only by the accompanying video. Set in a gleaming, gold-drenched White House festooned with Trump-themed decorations (because of course), it features the uncanny trio of Trump, Putin, and Kim Jong Un bickering like toddlers at a family gathering. Whether they're arguing over a nuclear button or tossing around gloriously petty insults, the video is a masterclass in dark comedy.
Musically, ‘White House Meltdown’ feels like a modern nod to the glam holiday hits of the '70s, with a bouncy melody and a chorus that will make you laugh out loud—then hit replay. Those soaring lines (“We’re gonna have a White House Meltdown Christmas Day...”) are absurdly fun and disturbingly on point. And just when you think it can’t get any better, Boris Johnson storms in to steal (and smash) the show.
For those who appreciate irreverent humour paired with ridiculously good songwriting, this is your holiday jam. Beldon Haigh proves once again why they’ve had such a standout year. The band has perfected the art of using music as a mirror to reflect society’s quirks and flaws, and with ‘White House Meltdown’, the reflection is equal parts hilarious and horrifying.
