The Killers Release New Christmas Video 'Dirt Sledding'

12/02/2015
. (Radio.com) It looks as though Santa has gotten carried away with handing out coal in The Killers' annual Christmas video, "Dirt Sledding." For the past ten years, the band has carried on a tradition that involves releasing a special Christmas song and video for the holidays.

Starting with a slower tempo, "Dirt Sledding" shifts gears after a chorus of children sing, "Santa, have a change of heart." The song takes on a rockabilly air with a touch of Queen for good fun. Adding to the holiday spirit, Richard Dreyfuss contributes spoken word vocals to the track.

The video finds a dirty and ragged Santa, played by Ryan Pardey, in need of a little help from his toy friends. Pardey also played Santa in The Killers' previous two Christmas songs featuring the legendary jolly man: 2007's "Don't Shoot Me Santa" and 2012's "I Feel It In My Bones." Watch the video here.
