Vought On Ice’s Song Is Truly Awful, But I Can’t Stop Singing It
“Let’s Put The Christ Back In Christmas” Is Surprisingly Catchy
The Boysseason 4 introduce Vought on Ice , the latest production by the show ’s crooked , Supe - ply company . Viewers are treated to a glance of Vought on Ice in episode 3 , when Hughie and MM endeavour to spy on Victoria Neuman ’s meeting with Homelander . Vought on Ice is even more idiotic than Dawn of the Seven , and the fact that it ’s a musical bestow to the clowning . Episode 3 ’s shot of the product shows doer dressed like Homelander and Queen Maeve vocalizing " rent ’s Put the Christ Back in Christmas , " a truly awful Song dynasty about " the war on Christmas . "
Under less outlandish circumstances , it could hail off as a fun musical bop — though its lyrics make it a frustrating piece to have stuck in your intellect .
Vought on Ice ’s song is intentionally bad , as the lyrics are intended to be Vought propaganda . However , the literal medicine behind " Let ’s Put the Christ Back in Christmas " is tricky enough that it ’ll rest in your head . I ’m impressed by how well the actors peach their parts , and Christopher Lennertz does a good line of work with the composition . Under less outlandish circumstance , it could get along off as a fun musical bop — though its lyrics make it a thwarting part to have beat in your thinker .
The Boys is a gritty and subversive take on the superhero genre, focusing on a group of vigilantes who confront powerful superheroes abusing their abilities, exploring themes of corruption and moral ambiguity in a world where heroes are not always what they seem.
What The Boys Season 4’s Christmas Song Is Parodying
The Show’s Vought On Ice Scene Parodies The “War On Christmas”
I may never forgiveThe Boysseason 4 for getting its Vought on Ice song in my head , but I do understand the point of this addition . “Let ’s Put the Christ Back in Christmas " parodies the perceived warfare on Christmas , as well as masses who consider you are n’t allowed to say " Merry Christmas " anymore . That ’s how the song begin , and it ’s no coincidence that Maeve ’s offense at hearing " happy holidays " take place at a coffee store . Starbucks receive repercussion for being inclusive with its vacation cups and greetings ( viaCBS News ) , whichThe Boysdraws inspiration from .
With its Vought on Ice performance , The Boyscontinues its trend of satirize real - life controversy and office through the lens of Vought and its Supes . The Amazon serial just would n’t be the same without its commentary , and it never fails to take thing to the most cockeyed extreme point potential . Since it ’s in character forThe Boys , I guess I ca n’t bethatmad that its new song wo n’t leave my brain — but I do hope another song takes its place shortly .
