Watch Jeff Tweedy, Mavis Staples and Sean Lennon sing "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)"

by Tyler Munro

Last night Jeff Tweedy and Mavis Staples joined up with (ugh) Sean Lennon on the Colbert Report to sing “Happy Christmas (War Is Over),” which was originally written by Lennon’s parents, explaining his otherwise peculiar presence next to two icons.

The trio were joined by the Harlem Gospel Choir, and also, look how small Mavis Staples is! Crazy!
