With Christmas around the corner, Miley Cyrus<\/a>, Mark Ronson<\/a> and their guest, Sean Ono Lennon, have made a video for their cover of John Lennon and Yoko Ono\u2019s 1972 single, \u201cHappy Xmas (War Is Over).\u201d Cyrus wears a green-and-white shirt with an approximation of the billboard campaign John Lennon and Ono<\/a> paid for when they released the single at the height of the Vietnam War: \u201cWar Is Over! (If You Want It).\u201d<\/p>\n

She looks off as she sings the lyrics, including some revisions, such as singing \u201cfor left and for right\u201d instead of \u201cfor yellow and red ones,\u201d and Sean provides the backup vocals and Ronson shreds on his guitar. When it\u2019s done, Cyrus looks over at Sean and smiles.<\/p>\n

The ensemble recorded the song at New York\u2019s Electric Lady Studios, with Cyrus previously explaining how it came together. \u201cWe went to Electric Lady with Sean Ono Lennon and we got to cut \u2018War is Over,\u201d\u201d she told Jimmy Fallon. \u201cAnd so we\u2019re also doing it on\u00a0SNL<\/em>\u00a0<\/a>\u2014 we want to do a Christmas song, and I don\u2019t think anything could speak louder than what\u2019s going on right now than about \u2018War is Over.’\u201d<\/p>\n

She also remarked on if Sean sounded like his father. \u201cI mean, he\u2019s just such an incredible being to be in the room with because that magic just radiates and I have always loved John and Yoko, I\u2019m such a big Yoko fan, and so it\u2019s just been amazing to work with him and his voice is just so special,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I think more than just inheriting the voice, or you know the way he looks or whatever, that is it\u2019s about the magic that he has and I think that\u2019s what he\u2019s really inherited more than anything, it\u2019s just this radiant magic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cyrus and Ronson previously collaborated on the single \u201cNothing Breaks Like a Heart.\u201d<\/a> It will be included on the producer\u2019s upcoming new album.<\/p>\n
