Yes this is Shchedryk, I love Trans Siberian Orchestra but the song definitely did not start as folk metal song. Just had to set the record straight.

Edit: Also I'm not disputing that the metal versions are epic, just the origins. I think the OG is pretty epic too.

Edit2: Oooooh

I think everybody else understood that to be a joke, not a serious misunderstanding of the song's origin.
