The Christmas season is getting more sideways every year. Recently, Mercedes-Benz and its AMG performance division showed us a new way to cook Christmas cookies, and now rival BMW Switzerland is presenting a new way to speed up seasonal caroling. It put four members of the Zurich Acapella Group in an M135i and instructed them to sing Jingle Bells while driver Martin Tomczyk flogged the hot hatch around the Circuit de L'Anneau du Rhin at the same time.

The result is The Fastest Christmas Song in the World, and you can watch it in the video below. And for you Pinterest fans, the behind-the-scenes photos are pinned all over your favorite online photo album site.

1968 Ford Mustang sings "Silent Night" - Click above to watch video after the jump

There are plenty of reasons to love this time of year. Good food, warm garages, time with friends and family and the traditional gift exchange all go a long way toward making December a little more bearable, but for us, it's the music that really sets this season apart from the rest. Just after Thanksgiving, we start getting down to everything from traditional tunes like Bing Crosby's rendition of "Silver Bells" to slightly less conventional songs like Everclear's "I'll Be Hating You For Christmas," but we officially have a new favorite.

The creative souls at DMAX have taken the time to coax a 1968 Ford Mustang fastback out of hibernation to perform a few quick bars of "Silent Night." There aren't any details as to what's lurking under this beast's hood, but if we had to guess, we'd say it's a 302-cubic-inch V8 that's singing its heart out with the help of a little clever editing. Hit the jump to have a look for yourself, and may your holidays be filled with similar internal-combustion glory.
