Puddles Pity Party - Christmas Time Is Here

Christmas time is here.

Let's kick off December with a little help from

the "sad clown with the golden voice."

B. Bumble and the Stingers - Nut Rocker

Musician-Producer Kim Fowley died recently.

This is an early creation of his from his long colorful career.

Soul Coughing - Suzy Snowflake

I'm sharing this one just because Super Bon Bon by Soul Coughing

is one of the greatest songs ever. This is their recording of

a Christmas relic paired with the ancient cartoon.

Paul Revere and The Raiders - The Turkey

Getting ready for Thanksgiving Day here.

When Paul Revere died a couple of months ago, we discovered

some cool songs that we hadn't heard before.

This is one of them.

Devo - Merry Something To You

Devo's Bob Casale has died.

Reading the news today reminded me of this:

The Snow Miser Song

Animator Arthur Rankin Jr. has died.

He and Jules Bass created some of the most popular 

Christmas specials of all time.

Rudolph, Frosty, The Little Drummer Boy,

and of course, The Year Without A Santa Claus,

which featured this cool tune.

Spinal Tap, AC-DC and Charlie Brown

Time for some heavy metal Christmas.

First up, Spinal Tap. Crank this one up to eleven.

 

AC-DC have a special request.

And here is proof that almost any music can be turned into a Christmas song.

You just need to add the right pictures.

Father Guido Sarducci - Santa's Lament

Ever wonder what Santa wants for Christmas?

Songwriting credits on this one are shared by Don Novello

and Joe Walsh.  Yep.  Joe Walsh from The Eagles.
