Events in recent months have fed much fuel to the belief that much of today’s youth are nothing more than lazy entitlement junkies. While that’s sadly true in too many cases, there are exceptions. One of these is exemplified by Sean Quigley, a high-school student from Winnipeg, Manitoba, who released this music video on YouTube last Wednesday. Turn up the volume and watch it full screen for maximum effect:
It has since gone viral, with now well over half a million views!
Charles Adler recently interviewed Quigley. What an inspiring, positive young man, eh?!
The song is now available for purchase for just 99 cents. Please consider buying a copy and helping make this young Canadian a shining example for others of his generation.
Wow! That was a really high quality production. All the best to that great young drummer.
Will be buying it promptly!! great honour to jesus god bless this young man!!! wow in this world today to see a young talented man sing the praises of the “new born king” wowzers i figured he would be singing about all the b!tches he just F2cked in the back of his limo on the way to his mansion , with a pool lines with joint”s and mirrors lined with rail’s of coke that he would snort off of a hoe’s t!t’s …..that is what i would expect form today’s ute’s ….
So yeah i am very proud and blown away by this young talented man good for him a song a nice song by a nice talented young man …it aint much folks but it is a glimmer of hope for the future !!!
I’m not going to sign up on the site. But I’ll happily sent him ten bucks if he gives a paypal site
Downloaded to iTunes and I’m enjoying it as I type this. Great work by the young man!
Wow! He should make all you Canadians proud!
Great kid, he will get somewhere important as a person. It is nice to see that not all young people are Brigitte DePapes.
Sean played the drums with his red mittens on no less.
I HAD to share on Facebook! Thanks for a fun diversion and attention for a remarkably talented young man!
What paul in calgary said.
the kids holding up the merry christmas signs are foreign exchange students from his high school
Outstanding!!!
But I’ll bet you anything that he has NO (ZERO NIL) support from any public funding…has done it all on his own, without his hand out (or at least I sure in the hell I hope so).
That to me is the MOST impressive thing, second only to his obvious talent.
Give her, kid. The world is yours…just don’t wait for someone to give it to you…go and get it!
Love the hockey socks.
Congrats to Sean. Great production value. Hate the song, however.
djb, the kid is a drummer. Did you expect Silent Night?
Love this version. Our whole family is very impressed with this young man and his talent!
Great job Sean! Nice production too. Merry Christmas!
My hat is off to him.
That man will only masturbate by choice,for the rest of his life.
Well done.
Wallyj – where do you come from? Not physcially, but in your head?
And Paul in Calgary: Your Christianese speak never ceases to amaze me. Do you wash your mouth out with soap afterwards?
” Wallyj – where do you come from? Not physcially, but in your head?”{
The same place you do,obviously. I just don’t deny it.
wallyj: I wish you a happy Christmas. You’re one sick dude, but God loves you so I’m spared.
nauseating.
Wally J:
Agreed.
Didn’t watch the video. Hate the song so much, I won’t voluntarily play it. I have heard an instrumental rendition which was quite fine, though. It’s the lyrics that suck donkey ****.
“wallyj: I wish you a happy Christmas”
gellen,get on a program. Wish me either a ‘Merry Christmas”,or a “Happy Holidays”.
I know you mean well,cheers,and I’m glad your god loves me.
Thanks,Lisa B.

LOL!! no sorry i probly should ..although i am tring to put a real touch on the ute’s of today and how they talk and what they think …trustm e i lived on the street’s and hung out with the ute’s i waso ne of those punks drinking a 40 O.E. on the street corner so i know what most of them think,like sat speak and how they act !! just making it as real for you as i can ..no offence intended and it was strictly for a mental image …compared to this fine young gent!! what .a .difference!!!
I like his cookie duster.
He’s also a very hardy Winterpegger.
I normally dislike the song intensely, but this young man gave it a styling that not only made it bearable but actually enjoyable. Now perhaps he can have a crack at “A Horse with No Name”. AND if he can do something with “MacArthur Park” I will acknowledge him a genius.
Don’t really get it. Don’t really care for the song; kind of like “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause”, cute but, not really a Noel or carol in the traditional sense. Do not understand why it evokes such filth from the commentators though? I’m with Gellen here, Tis not the season for that.
This chant, no matter who performed by, always reminds me of a never ending visit to the dentist.
I liked the song an loved the amateur video. Kudos to Adler for finding this but…Adler is one lousy interviewer.
I’m not a big fan of Christmas music, but I enjoyed that rendition. And, Paul in Calgary, I can see where you’re coming from as I can’t see any (c)rap performer go anywhere near anything to do with Christmas.
For Christmas music to be acceptable to purists does it have to be written at least 200 years ago?
I don’t like the song, perhaps because it is always played at malls and everywhere else around Christmas time. But I quite enjoyed this video,
And don’t understand why so many negative comments— Sean Quigley enjoy what he does, he is talented, his video is well done.
Not all can visit centuries old European cathedrals and enjoy cloister or Bach music on ancient pipe-organs there. Some play and enjoy different kind of music. And both kinds have the same aim, don’t they?

It’s winter in the Middle East. You’re 9 months pregnant. You’ve just made an arduous journey by donkey to PAY YOUR DAMNED TAXES. You badly need a room at an inn, and get stuck with the stable instead, and give birth to the child there. A bunch of strangers show up with smelly gifts, although the gold is welcome.
Then some snot-nosed kid shows up, banging on a drum, just when you want to sleep?
The whole premise of the song is bizarre, and un-Christian, as it puts a fictional character into the story of the Nativity.

Ya didn’t you see in the Bible where he’s right beside the Christmas Tree?
Gordinkneehill – agreed, but in what way has the smutty comments sanctified this picture?
Ugh, he’s one of those creepy “high on Jesus” kids.
That is universally the most despised Xmas song in history, but the kid makes it almost bearable. Anyone that will sit in the snow and bang a drum deserves my respect!
it’s professionally done.
the song is not on my favorite list, but Winnipeg is.
A former Winnipegger.

Oh yeah, but it could have been different.
You gave birth to son and some people come and started to kowtow and telling you how great everything is and giving you some gold. Gold is good but that stuff they are talking about is rather out of your league. And your kid is crying. Suddenly comes this young guy and start banging on drums. And, hurray, your kid suddenly stopped crying and started to clap his hands.
Life is great.
