Not exactly swearing also are our boys at the Morning Zoo Z1oo (back a few aeons ago), complaining about your decorating skills. “Your Christmas Lights Look Like Crap.”

Month of Love: The Flashcats
’80s Pittsburgh R+B smoove daddy pranksters The Flashcats put out fan club Christmas special singles for decades. Since the ’80s got over somewhere around 2001 and their bassist passed 2013, they are aught but legends now.
Hop a sock to their 1985 extra “Stocking Full of Love.” That’s the sax o’ love!
The Future: Outer Space (5)
Enough about Santa!
What about US in outer space having a grand old holiday?!
Much as i would love to take you on a tour of the solar system for Christmas on Mars, etc.–i can find no such musical love.
So how about we stay within our own orbit?
Well, UFO Phil is adamant that “There’s No Christmas on the Moon.” This retro ’60s kiddie rock, reveals the conspiracy of NASA to ruin Christmas with Apollo 11.
So to set the record straight, here is Songs for Children (is that the name of the band?) with “Christmas on the Moon.” Wotta youthful imagination!
Glenn Smith gets even more silly with “Christmas on the Moon” with the green cheese and the man in the… Wait–too childish and wildly waifish?
How about one this one: Runaway Symphony with “Christmas on the Moon“? The soft rock with overtones of Celtic lilting throughout gives U2 a run for their science fiction Christmas song money.
Detroit’s The GO tries a pop-rock variation with their “Christmas on the Moon.” Uncle Charlie and all the kids are talkin’ ’bout it.
Ready to moon rock out? Get down and dirty rockabilly with Slick Moss Explosion and “Christmas on the Moon.” Yeah, baby.
The Future: Outer Space (1)
Most cool outer space Christmas is based on Santa. As baby boomers grew up through the space race, they began to see how Santa could visit every kid’s house in just one night (not time travel! that’s silly!). It was through rocket ship technology, whether atomic or magical.
Check out Doreen Allen getting all rockabilly with Johnny Collins & The Caravans in their “Spacey Santa’s Spaceship.” Cute kid warblers were small town success for Bible business from the turn of the Last Century. Then money from vaudeville gave us Shirley Temples. And more money from the beginning of rock ‘n’ roll gave us The Collins Kids. Not sure when this music was recorded, but it wails.
