From his 2008 album Resistance, this holiday tune by the reggae legend appears to be at least as concerned with Mickey Mouse as the jolly elf. For that matter, this doesn't sound particularly reggae either, sounding more like a Jamaican take on hip-hop and electronica. But Perry was always a sonic innovator, so it's not surprising he's left the old ways behind.
