[Sting appears next to Bublé with bleached hair, skintight black clothes and a guitar]Michael Bublé: [singing] Deck the halls with boughs of holly…
Sting: [singing to the tune of “Don’t Stand So Close to Me,” I think] Fa-la-la, fa-la-la, fa-la-la-la-la-la.
Michael Bublé: [singing] ‘Tis the season to be jolly…
Sting: [singing to the tune of “Desert Rose”] Fa-la-la-la-la-la-flo, fa-la-flo-fla-la-fo! [Bublé looks confused]
Announcer: And Taylor Swift! [Taylor appears with an acoustic guitar]
Michael Bublé: [singing] I saw three ships come sailing in on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day…
[Taylor just makes a series of shocked, excited faces]Announcer: Plus, Justin Bieber! [Bieber appears in a purple hoodie]
Michael Bublé: [singing] Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way…
[Bieber is too busy pop-locking and doing heart hands to sing his part]Michael Bublé: It’s your–it’s your line, man.
[Bieber just winks and shimmies around]Announcer: And the always-controversial M.I.A.! [she appears in an oversized t-shirt]
Michael Bublé: [singing] Up on the rooftop–
M.I.A.: [singing in a Cockney accent] Quick, quick, quick–
Michael Bublé: [singing] Down through the chimney–
[M.I.A. fires a gun three times into the air, scaring the daylights out of Bublé]Michael Bublé: What the [bleep]?!
Announcer: With a special appearance by Russell Brand! [he appears in a half-unbuttoned black shirt and lots of jewelry]
Michael Bublé: [singing] Angels we have heard on high…
Russell Brand: Now why would an angel want to get high? They wouldn’t need to, would they, they’re already in the clouds; it’s kinda their thing. I once saw a man named Angel get high! [Bublé looks annoyed] We’d all be lucky to meet a man like Angel, if he just pranced through your door–“Hello, I’m Angel. D’you got any drugs?”
Announcer: It’s the collection of holiday duets you’ll treasure forever! [the CD appears] Featuring chart-toppers like Ke$ha! [she appears with long, messy hair and glittery eye makeup]
Michael Bublé: [singing] Eight maids a-milking…
Ke$ha: [singing] Seven dudes a-puking…
Michael Bublé: [singing] Six geese a-laying…
Ke$ha: [singing] I got Hep C… [she blows a kiss and flails her tongue at the camera]
Announcer: And “American Idol” winner Scotty McCreery! [he shakes Bublé’s hand]
Michael Bublé: [singing] O holy night…
Scotty McCreery: [singing in an absurdly low baritone and with strange facial expressions] The stars are brightly shinin’! It is the night of our dear Savior’s birrrrrrth. [Bublé looks alarmed]
Announcer: Featuring Radiohead’s Thom Yorke! [Thom appears with messy hair and beard and dancing wildly]
Michael Bublé: [singing] Silent night…
Thom Yorke: [flailing around and half-whining] Silent…silent…silent…
Michael Bublé: [singing] Holy night…
Thom Yorke: [continues flailing] Holy…holy… [he dances over to Bublé]
Announcer: And Lady Gaga! [a decorated Christmas tree appears with a pink wig and googly eyes]
Michael Bublé: Wait, is this really her?
Announcer: With a special appearance by Kanye West! [Kanye bounces in and pushes Bublé out of the way]
