No matter how much you criticise the performers for dancing around trees or sprinting across snow-covered mountains in these songs, they are unquestionably attractive.

Even our filmmakers take these songs seriously, which is why a large sum of money is spent on filming the tracks and, on occasion, enlisting the most bankable celebrity.
