Watch: Arcade Fire Sing ‘Little Drummer Boy’
Arcade Fire sang “Little Drummer Boy” on Zach Galifianakis’ “Between Two Ferns” show. The musical performance begins two minutes, 23 seconds into the clip but you might want to watch the whole thing. Zach Galifianakis’ conversation with Samuel L. Jackson and Tobey Maguire is damn funny.
