﻿REMOVE CHRISTMAS remove christmas you are worst festival. you are the festival idiot you are the festival smell. return to laplaond. to our lapland cousins you may come our contry. you may live in the zoo.... (and so on, and so on, and so on).

Christmas 2020 was cancelled outright, and so I'm being a mardy old git.

If you're not familiar with the original "Serbia Strong / Remove Kebab" folk song, featuring a soldier with a fixed thousand-yard stare playing the accordion:

(The soldier in question, Novislav Đajić, was indicted on 15 charges of genocide and served five years in a German prison - "wait a minute, that's not much!" you may think, but he was merely an accomplice to the "kebab removal" in the wars that smashed Yugoslavia to its component parts. Quite horrible, then, but nowhere near the worst offender.)

A perfect loop of the twiddly accordion chorus, with Đajić's unflinshing stare at the camera, surfaced on YouTube - followed by an 8-bit version, designed to sound like the sound chip on a NES, by the user "dashipls", in 2012:

And at the end of 2015, "dashipls" made this mashup of a certain Christmas tune mangled into the style of "Remove 8-Bit".

And now, here it is in Spectrum PLAY statements.

After a while your head starts to spin.
