PUP Perform Christmas Version Of Kids On Children's TV
PUP turn their melancholic track Kids into something much more festive
Christmas isn't just about turkey, stockings and reindeer, it's also about music! But if you're tired of singing the same old carols or crooning along to White Christmas, let Canadian punks PUP add some much-needed energy to your jolly holiday playlist. Or sleighlist, if you will.
Appearing on TV alongside Studio K's Pupperinos, the Toronto four-piece spread the festive spirit with a Christmassy version of their track Kids.

He goes on to sing about spending Christmas with you, and wishing he'd left out cookies for Santa.
