"Jumping around like a house on fire..." Let's be honest. Is that any worse than Pharrell's lyric "Clap your hands if you feel like a room without a roof"?
Truth is, she is a really talented song writer. If she had sold this song to the Bangles, it would be on regular rotation for the next month and every year. Book it.
"WOCK AND WOLL SANTA" wow.. this video TOTALY changed my whole vision of christmas. I mean like a Wock and woll santa! wh..wh..who would ever think of such a good song! (really..)
Everyone in this video looks like they had a lot of fun. We may laugh at Jan Terri, but at least she has something that many of us don't: friends who are willing to make complete asses of themselves in front of a video camera for her benefit!
I think you guys must be watching a different video from me. The one I see here features superior vocals, excellent production values, and first-rate choreography.
Another of Jan's valiant efforts. Sheer perfection. How the music completely and utterly conveys everybody's feelings around this holiday season, mixed with that special vulnerability only Ms. Terri's voice can bring to the table is pure genius. This deftly put-together music video only adds to what can only be described as a holy experience. Amazing girl, just keep doing what you're doing XxxX
jumpin awound like a house on fire??!! oh and 1:46 is a gem. seriously what the hell compels someone to do this like how could someone suck this much and not know it?
At 1:00, it reminds me of a Hall & Oates video. But I guess I always think of Hall & Oates when I see a man with a moustache sitting on another man's lap.
@silviasr20det It breaks beauty standards for popstars. It shows that DIY sometimes, if lucky and accept low ironic fanbase, could work. Other than that, taken in historical context it's also pretty amazing. This was made before low brow youtube videos where common and video editing became linear (or at least easy to do). This contributes because someone, somewhere wanted to make something and then did. In some ways it also could make you think about the american dream. Is it really real? No!
@sxs0nar rofl..erm..i'll take the voice changing and hahaha you call that playing an instrument??? do you think she recorded all her own stuff? the only thing jan terri can do is pretend to sing and pretend to write relevant lyrics
I don't think she should choose so many words with "Rs" in them... "Wock and Woll Santa"... Actually, if she had a hunter's hat and a shotgun, it would be perfect!
"He was jammin' on a GUI-tar! He was weally WOCKIN'!!"
was he REALLY wocking though?
Yes he was "weally wocking".
TheKupoQueen yes! He was weally wocking!!!
marlito166 fuck it's that time of year again!
all her videos are seriously awesome. this and get down goblin by far make the list as bestest best videos XD
AlphaOmegaSin You are right!
A song for every occasion
Puts me in the cwithmith spiwit. :-)
Only Jan can make Chicago look like Bowling Green, Ohio
Phahahaha.
Aaahhhhhhh HAHAHA
You mean Bowling green Kentucky. Lol
This is gonna be stuck in my head for days
This is my favorite Christmas song
"Jumping around like a house on fire..."

Yep, makes sense. Jan and Susanna Hoffs have a lot in common. Same age anyway.
The only Christmas song that is good to listen to all year round. Good work, Jan!
i am stuck between this and excuse my xmas as the greatest holiday song of all time
Queen of Rock and Roll
Don't you mean Queen of Wok and Woll?
"WOCK AND WOLL SANTA"
wow.. this video TOTALY changed my whole vision of christmas. I mean like a Wock and woll santa! wh..wh..who would ever think of such a good song! (really..)
This could actually make a good punk cover
this always cracks me up. this and john daker. the duet possibility is really tantalizing.
I love how she stretches the first syllable of window out for four beats.
0:51 Santa was probably thinking "Jesus Christ! Get off my lap! You're crushing my pelvis!"
Jumpin awound like a house on fire, havin some fun tonight...
Amazing. "Jumping around like a house on fire"? Jan Terri is incredible...seriously, I'm awe-stricken.
Drinking hot coco next to the fire place jamming to this song..can't for Christmas day!!
Thanks Jan Terri you sexy beast!
Isn't it kind of a no-brainer that you DON'T write a song with so many r's if you can't pronounce the letter r correctly?
i was going to say the same thing!
True--but that's what makes it so great! :D
But then it would lose all of its "charm." Interpret "charm" however you like...
Be gone hater
That's the genius of it. She went all out with the r words.
Those troll dolls are fitting....shes a real life troll doll!!!!!
When a house is on fire, it jumps around. Jan Terri logic.
Jan adds to the joy of Christmas.
Dear Santa, I would like to be able to carry a tune, please give me the gift of music this year, hope you enjoy the milk and cookies. Love Jan.
this reminds me of my mother in law........just as attractive and talented. now i want to hurt myself.
Best xmas song ever - Chicago represent
I like her voice..:) I'm not joking.
I like when she says, "Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiddddddooooooowwwwwww!"
Everyone in this video looks like they had a lot of fun. We may laugh at Jan Terri, but at least she has something that many of us don't: friends who are willing to make complete asses of themselves in front of a video camera for her benefit!
best rock N' roll christmas songs ever. Beats the beach boys, "man with all the toys" by a mile, and I love that song.
I think you guys must be watching a different video from me. The one I see here features superior vocals, excellent production values, and first-rate choreography.
JAN RULES. fullstop.
face it guys
if this were a 70's punk band we would all like it non-ironically
its the video that maske it fun
Produced and directed by Elmer J. Fudd.
There's a "high risk" that after watching all of these videos, that you may be insane.
@silviasr20det what great contributions to humanity have you made lately?
Madonna's really let herself go.
Note the autumn leaves in this Christmas video. From the collection "VHS Nightmares"

in French, your name means "dead1990". So, my question is :
are you a cyber ghost ?
@MAKEorBREAK17 wtf she doesnt need autotune!!!! she is a perfect singer!
wow dats weally weird. I love wock an woll santa
wockywoll santa every year baby \m/
jumpin awound like a house on fire??!! oh and 1:46 is a gem. seriously what the hell compels someone to do this like how could someone suck this much and not know it?
wock and woll santaaaaaaaaa....gosh she KILLS me!!! hahahha
Wock and Woll Santa... weally wockin' tonight.
When random stores let you film their inventory for your video, you've really made it big.
@vipersb1 Ok..I'm glad I'm not the only one who heard her say this!
He was weally wockin!
Forget Thom Yorke and Kurt Cobain, Jan Terri is the best artist of 90's. She puts the "art" in artist.
man all her videos are so fucking hillarious
Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt to prove it!
This is her most high budget video.
Who's watching this masterpiece on Christmas 2015 ?
Thanks to timehop I can enjoy this beautiful every year.
Haha, you're from the past. You could be dead.
Make that 2016
At 1:00, it reminds me of a Hall & Oates video.
But I guess I always think of Hall & Oates when I see a man with a moustache sitting on another man's lap.
the best part is that they feature a shot of troll dolls. which jan terri resembles exactly
The review Spot sent me here.
He sent me, too!
We don't deserve the Review Spot. And I really mean that.
Me as-well…
*Jan Terri Is a Knock-Off Joan Jett*
This is a good catchy song. What a Christmas song should be. Doesn’t get the airtime it deserves.
What's worse, the song or Jan Terry jumping on your lap?
0:17 A Wi-hi-hi-hin-dow. The way she elongates a two syllable word for that long,......... Musical genius
I don't use the word 'hero' lightly, but Jan Terry is the greatest hero in American history.
Is she saying "Wock an Woll Santa. Wheely, Wheely, wock an wollin' tonight?"
It's that time of year again!
im with you %100. :/
"Wock and Woll Santa,
Wock and Woll Santa,
Weally, Weally wocking tonight."
My favorite part is when Jan Terry is sitting on Santa's lap.
CRACKED

Now I'm cwaving woasted chestnuts...
Perfect to get you in that festive mood
I found a clip of this on IG. I think this is legitimately a GOOD Christmas song. Also, call me crazy, but Mrs. Claus is hot!
And the "f" in art.
I wish I could hear the conversations they are having with Santa. They seem pretty animated
hahahahah wow, it's true
I can't stop laughin
Better watch out, this video is bound to get a copyright claim against it soon. I mean Jan Terri must protect her bread and butter, right?
WOCKIN' WOLL SANTARRRRRRR
Oh man, I don't care what anyone says, the early/classic JT's are the best.
Jan Terri is awesome.
0:27
"He was weally Walken!"
...you mean Christopher Walken.
*attempts Christopher Walken impression* WHOA!
Thank you for this comment 9 yrs later
"Wrock aah Woll Sanna"
????
For Christmas being right around the corner, there sure isn't a lot of snow.
Still, one of my fave JT videos.
Listening to Jan Terri's voice is like being 9 years-old and having only a book of maths for christmas...
I dunno, some kids love maths.
Nah you see, you're ruining it for everybody with your mean punkiness. We can't all be cool and dandy like you ya know ?
he was really..WHACKIN'!
from her 94 album... rumor was this was the last album kurt cobain listened to before he died.
i love that yo la tengo covered this
"Chestnuts are woasted" haha, great
What's with Raggedy Ann and Andy?
0:50 - My legs! Oh god, my legs!
1:56 - What is that? The crippled duck walk? Chuck Berry would be rolling in his grave. If he were dead.
CHWISMIS ALL AWOUND!
wockywoll santa
Let's see how many syllables we can cram into the word "window"...
Wock and Woll santa!
@sxs0nar rofl..erm..i'll take the voice changing and hahaha you call that playing an instrument??? do you think she recorded all her own stuff? the only thing jan terri can do is pretend to sing and pretend to write relevant lyrics
Is that Gallagher @ :57 ?
I came everywhere
@ShaftIzScarface88 yeah...and she was only six months pregnant
"He was really WHACKIN'!" lmao
I don't think she should choose so many words with "Rs" in them... "Wock and Woll Santa"... Actually, if she had a hunter's hat and a shotgun, it would be perfect!
PS: BEAM ME UP SCOTTY!!!!!
wok and woll santuh...he was weally wockin. weally, weally wockin tonight.
