Christmas comes early: The Darkness have a new festive tune

Back in 2003, The Darkness were seemingly everywhere, even lending their unique sense of cheer to the festive season with the inescapable "Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End)".

Twelve years on and the boys are back with a brand new helping of festive frolics in the form of "I Am Santa". The quartet leap around in their trademark tight trousers and other fantastical costumes amidst vintage video effects and a constant sprinkling of snow, and Santa himself even makes a cameo. Sort of.

Watch "I Am Santa" below.
