What happens when two Iras (Glass, of This American Life, and Kaplan, of Yo La Tengo) join forces with Eugene Mirman and three former NYC Purim spiel-writers to create the ultimate “War on Christmas” song, complete with homicidal My Little Ponies? See for yourself.

*spoiler alert*–humanity is destroyed!

The track was produced by Rob Kutner and the Levinson Brothers, and the video was produced by Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB). Toymageddon is the first single off the upcoming album, 2776, which brings comedians and musicians together on a journey through the first millennium of American history.

All proceeds from the song and album go to the charity, OneKid OneWorld.
