Holiday tradition gone bad. Really, really bad.

Here is a clip that has been making its way around the internet for a few years now but is always worth revisiting, especially in this season of many "Messiahs": it's what Alex Ross calls "the great 'Messiah' train wreck", aka "organist on crack" (click to listen to the .mp3). So spectacularly bad its good. One can't help but wonder what was going through the minds of those poor singers during the final chords.
