The TMI Team take a look at what Jordan calls “the best Christmas song of the 20th century” and what Heigl calls “the evil twin of ‘Monster Mash.’” (You can make up your own mind about who’s right.) You’ll hear about the traumatizing circumstances of Carey’s early life that lends a poignancy to this holiday party anthem, and the ongoing battle over the songwriting credits. They’ll explain the music theory of why it’s so damn catchy and so damn Christmas-y, the many sales records it holds, and why it makes goats produce more milk than the Chipmunks' Christmas song. (Long story.)
