Carols don't really go with much, except the holidays.

But surprisingly, the lyrics of Drake's 2016 hit "Hotline Bling" seem to go pretty well with the melody of Christmas carol "Hark the Herald Angels Sing."

Twitter user Becca Rose posted a video of herself singing the mashup, which she said was discovered in a Tumblr post.

And hey, you know what, it really does go well together.

It's all about the syllables, which at the right section of each song measures up perfectly.

Of course, this isn't such a rare thing: Remember that guy who mashed up the tune of Adele's "Hello," as well as other popular songs, to the lyrics of "All Star" by Smash Mouth?

Sorry to remind you.
