Carol Told by an Idiot, 24

Is it that Christmas again theme again?! Botheration!

BLUE ALERT punk from Last Seen Laughing warn you won’t make it since it’s Christmas again in “The Great Christmas Plot.” Warned be ye. (If you do make it to the end of the song, it gets danceable.)

“How Can It be Christmas Again” gently folks Terry Scott Taylor. Oh he’s put out. You can bet on that.

There go the days of our lives bemoan Let’s Talk Figures in their lite rock bit o’ fun “Christmas Again Already?” The mixed media doesn’t help, guys. Sing!

When that time of year re-presents itself, some are given upside the head reminders that they got nothing compared to all others. “The Christmas Song” is a rocker of regret from Slowride–except for you, my dear.

The Sowell Family Pickers pretty up the bluegrass with “It’s Christmastime” (they mean again). Despite the todo they’re just fine with it all (I guess ‘cuz o’ God ‘n’ all) . So’s the music.

Can’t stop the Christmas music. Or the holiday from swinging back atcha again.

[A moment please, while Barnes and Barnes disarmingly soft pop “Kwanzaa’s Here Again.” Despite the sweetness and muppet growls, this is an existential cry of pain.]

Time for us to have some fun, purrs Rupaul when it’s the holidays again. Love returns in the electro-pop “You’re the Star (On My Christmas Tree).”

Peter deRoyce brings the music to bear when he compares Xmas to a drug in “Parang in Meh Vein.” Yes, the Caribbean serenade to wake you and make you party all night goes on and on. For 12/25. Again. Just go with it.

Christmas again. More songs about that. Again.

Denny Lane (Eddie Hardin) adds obligation to the season when he pop gospels “Peace Must Come Again.” It’s convincing, if not joyful.

Sylva seems to surrender to the redux because “You Can’t Change Christmas.” Driving rockpop that not so much reminds as just keeps going. Like it.

The return of Christmas is reminding me of something i read in a book one time. Let them tell you.

“Let’s Have a Merry Christmas” is Mark Hand’s way of saying through somewhat dreary pop music to AGAIN give a hand to the King. Of Kings. It gets real repetitive.

Kiana Valenciano recounts the whole Jesus significance with “Once Again It’s Christmas.” this Childs version of easy listening is hard to sit still for. So kneel.

I’ll barely squeeze in the off-putting easy listening gospel annoyance of Brenda Russel and Howard Hewett with “Christmas Will Return.” They ring the rafters with song, but my ears are smartin’.

Then in should also let in Travis Cottrell’s grandparent-friendly smarmy pop “Once More.” Christianity is all about the guilt.

Jeff Stevenson and Ray Shell get all surfer pop to led you to the Lord in “It’s Almost Christmas Again.” Cowa-buon-natale!

Aaron Lindsey gets more animated with his gospelly “Christmas Time is Here Again.” Lots of instrumentation, but the R+B goes all disco–prepare ye.

Old white guys have fun, too! (At everyone’s expense.) So let’s bite off a piece of easy listening mayo and chew, chew, chew.

Jimmie Rodgers lounges through “It’s Christmas Once Again.” That’s fair warning.

Talk-singing, Kenny Rogers sermonizes for the unenlightened in “Once Again It’s Christmas.” The harmonica doesn’t help your case, Ken.

Will you dance to celebrate the recurrence of Xmas time?

Slow one from Reuben Anderson. “Christmas Time Again” here is a hip grinder not to be missed. Soul slow, man.

The Irish Rovers know a thing or Celtic about the hard party. Refer exhibit “It’s Christmas Time Again.” Now dance.

Sharon Shannon & Wallis Bird get sock hop zydeco with “Christmas Time Again!” Line dance, y’all!

Cheer up! ‘Tis the Season to do that! Again!

Steve Gregory & Michel Fenderwoods as International Language attempt the up with “Christmas Will be Magic Again.” The pop crooning loosens stubborn crankiness what builds up in the heartstrings.

Struggling with the English language The Kavanaughs laud the bits and pieces of “Christmas Again” with bouncy rocking pop music.

P’raps too English The Transmitters find the prize in the Christmas cracker in their “Christmas Again.” Britpop tinged with a bit of the ol’ punk. Pain begone!

Giddy garage pop from Fruitcakes rejoices and “Can’t Believe It’s Almost Christmas Again.” I could almost explode!

Island jouncing from Kevon Kurt Carter praises the sharing and caring (and cooking) of “Christmas Once Again.” Yea.

Did someone lay the blame on the return of Xmas blues at the door of the bank? Is it debt, that’s worryin’ ya, Johnny?

“Broke Again This Christmas” is Mike Rob howling offkey about trying to keep up with your wishlist, baby. Painful ballad. Then bad rap.

Country pop from Retrotech (is that a metronome?) worries the season with “Broke Again This Christmas.” Is there a light at the end of the shelter?

More to the point, punk whinging from The Mansfields allow they’re “Broke on Christmas Again.” Didn’t expect much other.

Jordan McAlinden winds down the Britguilt with a lighter pop number “‘Tis the Season to be Broke Again.” Don’t gamble it away, Da!

Mobius VanChocStraw lays down legit blues with “Broke Again for Christmas.” He’s outta money, honey (yours as well). Same ol’ story.

The wheel of time turns and crushes those unable to keep up. Mad yet?

[Sidebar: Stanley Adams and Sid Wayne debate the merits of “Chanukah is Here Again.” This Wenceslaus parody mostly leans pissed, though. Oy vey.]

DDC is BLUE ALERT put off by “Christmas Time Again.” Angry, yet melodic, punk.

Patch is seething in “Christmas Time Again.” But parang is so party perpetrating, we’ll drink to that.

Sometimes i’m stumped by the sentiments of the Xmas song i’m compelled to share. But these earfuls must needs be heard.

Randy Rainbow’s “Hey Gurl, It’s Christmas!” traipses all over the agenda with show tune anger. But he does sashay with cachet that it’s not so bad because it’s Christmas again.

LaGlavas (feat. Viktor) veers wildly from middle of the road easy listening to (attempted) angry rap in his “Christmas Again.” But he won’t stay in his lane–didgeridoo fade out….

The Chandler Travis Philharmonic screeches and sleazes through “It’s Almost Christmas Again” like a drunk overloaded train. Yes it is that much fun. Blues pop, i think.

Marty Robbins seems to be country scolding with his cowboy pop warbling in “Christmas Time is Here Again.” Lot of shoulds and mights leave this all up in the air.
