Waxman Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Staff Writer Dec 9, 2014 3:40 PM CUT Out of the Blue (OOTB), Oxford University’s all-male a cappella group, has released a cover of Mariah Carey’s holiday hit “All I Want for Christmas Is You” and a [music video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqGfvtJvaSg "undefined") filmed at the historic school’s Bodleian Library and Divinity School. Proceeds from purchases of [the single](https://ootboxford.bandcamp.com/track/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you-charity-single "undefined") will be donated to the Helen & Douglas House Hospice for Children and Young Adults. The group claims its [cover of Shakira’s “Hips Don’t Lie,”](http://time.com/3070208/watch-oxford-a-cappella-group-covers-shakiras-hips-dont-lie/ "undefined") released over the summer, raised more than £10,000 ($15,700) for the charity. It also boasts more than 5.1 million views so far—thanks to some Twitter [encouragement](https://twitter.com/shakira/status/491998608867467264 "undefined") from the Colombian pop star herself. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3625158/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you-oxford-male-a-cappella/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3625158/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you-oxford-male-a-cappella/"},"headline":"Watch Oxford University's All-Male A Cappella Group Sing 'All I Want for Christmas Is You'","datePublished":"2014-12-09T15:40:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:15:07.353Z","description":"They don't want a lot for Christmas... just your money for charity","url":"https://time.com/3625158/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-you-oxford-male-a-cappella/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2a219517853c886a/69876d958e0601437a459190/screen-shot-2014-12-09-at-9-56-16-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
