Stephen Colbert signed up Norah Jones and Jon Batiste to help him debut a maddening, so-bad-it's-good holiday tune titled "Christmas Is Now" on "The Late Show Monday With Stephen Colbert."
Stephen Colbert wearing in an ugly knit sweater began beating the song into ears, brains and hearts everywhere as he harmonized the song singing along with Jon Batiste, "Christmas is now, Christmas is now/ now it is Christmas and Christmas is now."
"The song was written to bump Paul McCartney and Wings Wonderful Christmas Time from the top spot of worst Christmas songs of all time,:" as stated by Stephen Colbert in his late night show.
Nora Jones soon joined the pair followed by a small choir and the entire Late Show audience, all of whom belted variations on the song's infectious three word-theme into seasonal infamy. She also stayed around to perform her clean and shuffling cover of Horace Silver's "Peace," which appeared on her new record, "Day Breaks." Jones also recorded the song for her 2001 EP First Sessions.
"It's my understanding that Paul McCartney's Wonderful Christmastime cannot be played to prisoners of war under the Geneva Convention," as Stephen Colbert wrote in a twitter post.
Nora Jones will kick off a string of U.S. shows in support of Day Breaks March 1st in Nashville. She'll then play a handful of international dates before opening another stateside leg May 21st in Chicago. If Colbert can pull the prize for the "Worst Christmas Song of All Time," then Paul McCartney might be off the hook which won't stop Paul McCartney's song from playing over and over every holiday season.
Meanwhile, Stephen Colbert hasn't had any chances to have a face-to-face interview with Donald Trump since September 2015, but that hasn't stopped the Late Show host from conducting fake conversations with the New US President-elect.
