This time of year inspires festive joy in some and soul-crushing anguish in others (speaking of which, check out this week's Scrooge-tacular feature, "Critiquing Christmas"). But Portland's own Ural Thomas and the Pain's got the solution for whatever ails you: "Christmas Crawl," a brand-new holiday song, music video, and dance move—just "twist your ankle like a candy cane!"

In the video, the legendary soul singer and his fabulous backing band dance their way through a wild house party. Watch below, and don't miss the outfit's next show January 8th at the Goodfoot!
