- Every year since 2006, The Killers write and record a special Christmas song for a very good charity - the RED campaign. They usually collaborate on these. Some of the artists they've worked with include the band Dawes, Neil Tennant and Elton John. Needless to say, Jimmy was flattered that they asked him to be a part of it this year. #JoelTheLumpOfCoal
You can download "Joel, the Lump of Coal" on iTunes at smarturl.it/JoelTheLumpOfCoal
All proceeds go to the RED campaign.

I can't believe that I'm still crying with a song written after a lump of coal 7 years ago.
I cry also sebastian
Same here. It's 2023 now
Me 😂
Me too
started as a joke, turned into a masterpiece, what an awesome song and story :)
it started out with a kiss, how could it end up like this?
Brennan Donnelly it was only a kiss... it was only a kiss
Alexa Rubin Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
matt m now there going to bed
and my stomach is sick and its all in my head
Naloburr305 But she's touching his chest now,
He takes off her dress now,
Let me go
2014 and Brandon Flowers is still hot.
I came from the future, it's 2030 and Brandon's still hot.
Luis Mejia thank you
always!
He gets hotter every year
182daviddelfinK This is what I was thinking through the whole video. I hope he's well...
You see this?! This is a tear! My God... Poor Joel... Why oh why did you have to give up your life. He just wanted to be happy! RIP
At least he didn't end up on the fire, which was my initial concern :D
this is a song about Jesus, who gave up his life for the sinners. Joel represents Our Lord. This isn't just a song this is the story of human history reiterated
@@dekuscrub4330 That's what I thought.
Instant classic
Instant ramen
Instant karma
instant rice
Why is this not played on the radio during Christmas!! It’s my favorite Christmas jingle 😭🎄❤️
You all know what the kid did to get on the naughty list right?
He killed all the other children on the block for teasing him.
Luther Arciga What?
Santa's coming for him real soon.
KaszalotForever A bullet in his what?
you know it
He couldn't turn his cheek no longer...
Why is it that the killers singing about a lump of coal named Joel is still better than 80-90% of mainstream music today?...
it’s not
@@goatmaro9518 you know brandon p0 0. ps right? cancelled.
Because he gets it.
@@lifeinthebarbie2147 What
@@nateb673 so much of rap is extremely intelligent.
1) it's been stuck in my head for like 15 minutes 2) How the CRAP does Brandon sing so beautifully about a gd lump of coal!? 3) Ronnie's single tear turning into a snowflake gives me life
This genuinely deserves so much more attention
*SO much more* 😬...Happy Christmas in July by the way :))!🎄🌟🎄🌟~~~~~>💓°•○☆💕
My girlfriend is very jealous over my Brandon Flowers man-crush...and she should be
haha :)
broooooo same
4 years later bro, did you marry that girl do you have kids
Bro, relatable! Can't get over this man. Just the other day I was thinking I've got a crush on him since I first heard the Killers back in 2004 (I remember Somebody Told Me's music video was on heavy rotation) and I was only 13. I'm almost 30 now. Can't believe how fake time is. 🤔
Funny intro but the song is actually very touching.
I'm not sure why... But I kinda got emotional towards the end lol
Me too!
Little Joel gave his life so he could make the little boy happy 😭😭
WalrusDerpGaming
Did he? I think of a bit of science here, under extremely high pressure and temperature the coal will turn into diamond:P
I cried. I'm not even joking
Ikr Joel makes everyone cri ery TIEM buccuz he's Joel 💵🗡🎀🌮🌚🐢🦄
This pop back into anybody’s else’s head during quarantine cause there bored?
Fruity dtotrij. Shiutej duration shitfunj stitching dhiytgj sin cdc guidelines.
The Killers could basically write a song about anything and still make it sound amazing :)
This is actually a good song. And it's for charity. Those guys making that song from scratch like that reminds me why I'm not a musician lol
Anyone come back to this video for Christmas this year?
This is good, but Christmas in LA is still my favorite. Beautiful song and great video.
I'm here for Christmas 2018
Every year, bub.
@@toastedjoe1013 Boots though 😭
R.I.P. Joel, you were a great lump of coal. Also...the Killers really don't like Santa Claus :).
Santa tried to kill Brandon, so.......
evoKai93 "Don't shoot me Santa Clause"
evoKai93 *keeps trying to
........
This is the most adorable thing I have ever seen. I also never see things, especially songs, with my name in them. I felt like they were singing this directly to me. I might have shed a tear or two. Well Done to The Killers and Jimmy Kimmel.
What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every coal may overflow with blessings rich and eternal light that shine so bright inside and out, and that every Lump of Coal be like Joel.
Brandon looks like he's 16 in that sweater and stalking cap
I’ve been stalking him
I’m 16 now and I don’t know how
Amazing how The Killers always make an amazing Christmas song.
Brandon is SO cute in that sweater. :)
2019 and Brandon Flowers is still hot

Who cares if it's July * watches on repeat *
I can relate to this
i'm literally weeping, what is this siren song
Merry Christmas! We're counting down the top ten #Kimmel videos of 2014! Here is #7... #JoelTheLumpOfCoal with The Killers
Hey guys
Joel must be Jewish...

I just heard this on the radio today and screamed when it first started, then I cried a bit. I love it so much 💕
why scream lol
@@victoriam7709 because I was excited I guess
instant legendary song! my kids will hear this song on the radio, and ill tell them how Joel, the lump of coal changed my life :')
It's 2017 and this still gives me the feels
November 2023 now
Every Christmas, I come
Back to this song, and cry.
Shall we all just agree now that this is the greatest xmas song ever made?
I found this song incredibly sad.
This has no right to be as great as it is.
Quite possibly one of the greatest Christmas songs ever!
The best thing about december? The Killers' Christmas single 🎄❄ I love them, they are fuckin amazing, the song was so sweet😍!!! LONG LIVE THE KILLERS!!!
brandons voice is so cute
This was...*Sniff sniff*....BEAUTIFUL!!!!! *Sniffff*
Jimmy's new Christmas song with The Killers to benefit (RED)... #JoelTheLumpOfCoal
Love it
Really beautiful!
hahahaha so so fanny!!! love it!
I really like this song . Please play on radio
***** I feel your joy as if it was my own.
How in the actual hell did he make that a good song!!! Man is a magician!

what about 2015 & 2016?
Dirt sledding 2015, I`ll be home for Christmas 2016
Brandon is precious.. The killers are precious.
That actually made me feel emotional for Joel
This is still my favorite Christmas song. It makes me really happy and teary in the end.
Can't wait for the new Christmas song
Awsome and just perfect!!! The killers are simply the best!
I always look forward to the Killers' Christmas song every year, and this one does not disappoint.
Still one of my favorite carols to the day!
every year i will listen to this
I just love that so much. The Killers are awesome
JOEL THE DIAMOOOOOOOOOOND!!!! HE BECAME PURE LIGHT AND THE DRUMMER HAD A CRYSTAL TEAR. THANK YOU JOEL DIAMOND.
I love this song. Well done. For those who think a lump of coal should not be black, have you ever seen coal? The reality is that Joel the lump of coal is a black object that has been cartoon animated. That's it.
Are you being serious? Lol
Wow, way to be racist. No one probably was even thinking about racially discriminating themes until you came along and was all "GUYS! BLACK!"
This literally made me cry
god damn it jimmy, you did it. you took my favorite band and made this beautiful song!
I'M NOT CRYING! YOU ARE!
I love the comedy ... but most of all the touching lyric and the melody itself ... very touching song! Great job guys!
How did I miss this? Fantastic, my new favorite Christmas song.
Looks like Brandon's back with the guyliner, even though just a little bit.
This story's kinda funny, but Brandon' singing makes it amazing, specially at the ending. My favorite still remains Christmas in LA and Boots, maybe because I just like sad but true life stories that a person can live through.
Christmas in LA was a masterpiece :)
The video was depressing. It really highlights how sad an event can be if you got to spend it all alone. Their newest single was even sadder, imho.
This is my fave song 💓💓💓💓
I'm so happy to see the boys back!!! I love that even the music they make for a joke is amazing. 😂 this is too funny.
This just proves that Brandon Flowers & Co. can turn any crap into something amazing.
They didn't know YOLO!!!!
probably a good thing
It was a joke, obviously lol.
I like how Brandon looks so serious through the whole thing. I wonder if that's his sarcastic sense of humor, or if he's really without personality...
Bit of both I think lol
he seems to have personality in this video!!!
www.mormon.org/brandon
He's very sarcastic in this video. haha
That's how he actually is in most videos. It's really just his personality, I think.
I think he is shy but not 'without personality'
THIS IS THE CUTEST CHRISTMAS SONG EVER
Amé la canción inmediatamente!! Excelente video, me encantó ver a The Killers junto a Jimmy! Y Brandon con ese gorro no puede estar mas lindo!!!! ♥
I literally cried.
Wow, this is a really neat song. I could see it on future Christmas albums. The Killers and Jimmy Kimmel are genius. Fantastic song, and the video is really good.
I hope there are allot less Santa's and more Joel's this Christmas. Have a merry Christmas.
Santa accidentally gives naughty boy worlds largest diamond
This song makes my top 3 killer Christmas songs
Can't believe it's almost 2020 - this song is still great!
They're so quiet! Lmao just like wtf Jimmy! This is adorable.
"Wait, YOU'RE gonna sing it?" lolol
wait why am I crying? This band just gets me in the feels.
@3:20 Lol. Brandon face tho.
lol awesome 🦌🎁🎄❄☃️🎶🧣 ..love it
buying the CD
Brandon oh you're the living example of "getting better over the years!" ♥
This song is classic!! Who else just comes up with a song on a tv show??!! My brother in-law was born on Christmas and his name is Joel!! This is my favorite song of All time!!!!!
brandon's voice . he always sounds so young
Me an Joel go way back! Ah memories of Christmases past!
same here...
Bah humbug
I've been waiting this for a long time..Great!
And this is why The Killers are my favorite band! Love it! Lol
Some time ago, at Santa's place
Up in the old North Pole
There lived a lump of anthracite
Whose parents called him Joel
Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
Happy as a lump can be
He just wants to keep Santa warm
And make the elves cozy
But Santa Claus had other plans
For Joel one fateful day
"Joel, you're just the lump I need
Come join me on my sleigh"
Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
Heart leapt up with joy
"I'll soon be Santa's present to
A lucky girl or boy
We'll laugh and play together
And hold each other tight
Snuggle under clean white sheets
When we go to sleep at night"
Then Santa's elves all laughed at Joel
"You're in for a surprise
You're not a special Christmas gift
You're just a booby prize
What kid would ever want you?
You're filthy as can be
Now you have to go and live
With one who's been naughty"
"But I make heat," poor Joel cried
"And electricity"
"You pollute the air
With CO2 and mercury"
Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
Fell down upon his knees
"I don't wanna live with a naughty kid
Don't make me, Santa, please"
But Santa laughed his jolly laugh
"Ho, ho, you stupid lump
You're just the thing to teach this brat
That Santa ain't no chump"
So off they flew and, before he knew
Joel was in a sack
He cried and yelled to Santa Claus
"Why don't we just go back?"
And then came Christmas morning
And, much to Joel's surprise (Much to Joel's surprise)
He saw a boy with the saddest face
And tears were in his eyes (Tears were in his eyes)
He picked Joel up and held him
And said "You can be my friend (Hey man, let's be friends)
I would've liked some presents but
You're what Santa chose to send (Santa chose to send)
It's true, I've been a naughty boy
And maybe that's a sin (Maybe that's a sin)
If this is how Santa treats the kids
I'm just glad that I'm not him"
Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
Knew what he must do
He said "Now I know the reason why
I got sent to you
Cause when a person hurts inside
It turns him hard and cruel
But I know how to make your pain
Into a precious jewel
So take me in your hand, young man
And squeeze with all your might
Let's turn your pain and anger
Into something that shines bright"
Then Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
He gave his life away
So that one good naughty little boy
Had a diamond on Christmas day
I love this song! I've had it on my Christmas playlist for years!!!
i was surprise to hear this on radio today here in sweden :P
We finally get to see how the holiday jingles get made.
I got choked up watching this... poor Joel
omgg i cant look at brandon he look sooooo cute omg im in with that and his voice ahhh i want him this christmas xD
New favorite Christmas song. The Killers made a hit
It's A CLASSIC!
Why haven't the Killers done this for the last couple of years? I miss them.
They decided to stop at 10 years. Their last Christmas single was I'll Be Home for Christmas.
But I agree, I loved their Christmas singles.
Jimmy's musical direction is excellent .... "Let's not forget that L ... like imagine you're an old Jewish Grandmother ...Jo..eL." AHHAHHAAA!!!
how i love this song so much
This follows the cadence of "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas" and I'm here for it
This guy has a heavenly voice
THIS SONG IS BY FAR is 1 OF IF NOT THE BEST X-MAS SONGS EVER RECORDED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF "DOMINIC THE DONKEY 😅"..!!
The whole skit, animation, and song were just absolutely sublime! Wow what creativity. Loved the coal lump back-up singers especially. The sweaters were over the top. Anthracite - LOL.
that was beautiful
Las Vegas loves The Killers! Every time they come back home it's always a great show.
"Let's turn your pain and anger
Into something that shines bright"
WOW!
