Christmas caroling is a tradition in which groups of singers travel from house to house, singing carols .
These carolers are in front of the BuzzFeed offices singing the The Twelve Days of Christmas , which usually contains:
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me. 12 Drummers drumming 11 Pipers piping 10 Lords a-leaping 9 Ladies dancing 8 Maids a-milking 7 Swans a-swimming 6 Geese a-laying 5 Golden rings 4 Calling birds 3 French hens 2 Turtle doves And a partridge in a pear tree.
The carolers changed the lyrics to match the style of headlines of the topics published by BuzzFeed, which usually contain a number and a superlative; for example, 13 Worst Plane Crashes of the Decade or 8 Otters Who Are So Cute We Can't Even Handle It . This method of writing headlines, referred to as clickbait , is used by several other news sites, because it is known to generate a lot of visits and therefore more ad revenue. Randall has touched on this subject before in 1283: Headlines .
Carolers are usually rewarded with a gift, but the BuzzFeed writers probably didn't appreciate the song, because they threw weird stuff at them.
