Drawde Magical sings “An Angelica Christmas” like it’s the most important song ever. It’s got hope, light, joy… all of the usual suspects. AI gospel, so be wary.
Might as well include Silent Echo’s “Angelina” here. This metal tribute could be Xmas (as its appearance on a holiday compilation album suggests). All i can tell is, it’s pissed.
Lowly Angie and Niswa are cleaning “Round the Clock” even at the holidays. Jasper YMC parangs it seasonally.
“How Wonderful Christmas Is (Angie’s Song)” is a child’s wish from The Group Prosperity · Mark Riddle · Michael Edward Lamb. The overly orchestrated pop aspires to gospel heights.
Manly ANDREW derives for the Latinate ‘man’. It’s like naming your dog ‘Dog’.
Not so manly, “Andy, The Christmas Horse” by RLB Trek tries to supplant the reindeer and please the children. Kidsong doggerel, but not half-assed. Who wants a ride?
Andy and Angie get a Christmas surprise from off-to-war absent Daddy in a mysterious way. How? “Love Will Find a Way” or so sings Marilyn Oakley with weird falsetto country pop.
More grownup, Doctor Christmas countries the rock for “Same Bar Every Christmas“. Andy, Oscar, and JK are just some of the losers here and not with family.
“Andy’s Christmas” as sung by Corky Coreson is pretty raw. He’s on the streets mistaken for Santa by a loopy little girl passing by. Country ballad of the pathetic kind.
AMY is to lovin’ like Xmas is to greed, so be prepared for some mistreatment.
F’r example, Andy Miller stumble mutters “Amy’s Mr’s Claus” about a porn star turned seasonal mall moll in this dead panning folk takedown. Ouch.
Troubled girlfriend, “Amelia (A Christmas Carol)” is called out by Jimmy Kelly with compelling yet corny country pop. Steer clear.
Jangle Bells amateurs up with “Amy’s home for Xmas!” This indie neglects to dwell on the titular name, but the incendiary yearning makes it clear. Wait, is she dying?
Let’s take a moment with an old Hebrew name. Carried by god is famous ol’ AMOS.
Getting right to it, The Christmas Crew compels the power of AI to create “Merry Christmas Amos“. Pop doggerel. [There’s also the sequel “Merry Christmas Amos-John“.] [Oh, and “Merry Christmas Amos-Lee“.] Sorry, this is one of those song generators based on names… wasn’t going to let those slip in. mea culpa.
Jacmauzs Justarr be hating on your uninformed “Paganism“, you know with you believing in Christmas and Easter and such. It’s all lies, according to the books of Amos and Jeremiah. Edu-rap-tional.
Another entry i haven’t posted yet is “Amos the Little Elf” by Richard Melvin Brown. This country kidsong follows a sad sack to success. It tries.
“Amos The Christmas Rooster“, written and preformed by Reed Lochamy and Will Lochamy harkens back to 1940 and swing band tomfoolery. He’s good for more than just eating’. Hoo Ray.
Wait, this name is OE for ‘elf freind’?! ALVIN! Get my mithril! Yeah, when it say Alvin’s Christmas, you say—? (It’s chipmunk.) Not exactly FAY-mous, so we’ll roast the little sucker in a few songs.
If you haven’t heard the gag where the voices are NOT sped up the chipmunks’ novelty Christmas hit, try Harold Krell’s “Alvin Sings the Chipmunks.” It might be reworded a bit. Demonic.
Strangely, “Christmas This and That (The Opposites Song)” by some AI entitled Tiny Explorers refers to Alvin as somebody who’s not a genius. Not sure why they went there. Guess he’s one of the cartoon friends in the group. Cheesy kidpop.
Staving of Alzheimers, Robert N Wagner remembers “A December 2 Remember“, especially how chipmunks rhymes with tree trunks. Lounge country.
ALICE never struck me as hoity-toity, then i read that it came from the German Adelaide. Well, how-dyee-do. Modern connotations have to do with innocence yet challenging societal norms. (Cf. Cooper, Walker)
Toby Deane and the Hummingbirds lay down the kidsong “Alice in Christmas Wonderland” briefly before the Disney movie appeared. big band, but a bit spooky.
More modern “Alice the Christmas Camel” counts down the gradual maiming of a ship of the desert… or was that a mirage? Piccolo Music may be from Down Under as their sense of humor is wicked indeed.
Two Ronnies misspeak lyrics with their burlesque “Alice in Her Winter Underwear“. This BBC comedy from the ’80s gets quite political.
Bendy and the Ink Machine Song (feat. Lindsay Joan) use recognizable pop to portray “Alice Angel’s Christmas“. But this metal themed menace stinks of AI, so i’m two minds here. Weird/boring. From some video game.
In “The Tale Of Alice (Live From CCS)” Jon Smith’s Voyages spins a tale of sheltered womanhood busting out. Christmas presents are earned, but not appreciated. Curious Brit rock.
Down to earth country harmony helps “Christmas At Aunt Alice’s“, a sentimental journey from Melodie. Also five outta ten.
Drunk ballading, Idle reveals–through too much “Eggnog“–that he wants/has Alice, so he’s crossing her off his list. R+B rap that’s only a tad tipsy.
I have not offered “Alex the Reindeer” before, despite my set of reindeer postings. It’s not because Al Walser’s lounge pop is terrible. I just didn’t. Now i did. It’s from a book.
Under the spell of Grandpa Alex, Sarah Sherkhan decorates the tree while Pop’s singing “I believe in a miracle“. Glee club or AI?
Mattthew sings about Alec’s mother calling about the free Christmas tree she snagged in the spoken word indie “Bougainvilleas“. Getting weird here.
Holy Pinto is in east “Texas” Christmas Eve, whining and regretting and singing about missing Alex’s floor. Mystical folk, or i wouldn’t bother. I mean, what th–
The German for famous and smart is ALBERT. Well, Anglicized it is. Think Schweitzer and Einstein.
“Albert The Brassed Ass Antelope” may not be especially bright, but it he is shiny. Party the Hut and Friends carouse this parody drunkenly.
Paw Front use AI to honor the book “Albert The Hanukkah Bulldog“. He’s no Rudolph, but someone would like us to think so.
Backroad Syndicate disparage this high-reaching name as well. With AI sing along big band rudeness, the character in question sings horribly. “What About Albert?” is the result.
Uncle Albert and Jermaine witness the star from space in “Christmas22” as foretold by SFG Band. Jazzy easy listening pop. It works.
ALAN is an immigrant name, a powerful invader what earned respect from the Romans way back when. BTW this is the old school spelling, all others are variants.
AI (FAIK BEATS) wrestles with original rock’n’roll renaming Santa Alan and warning “Don’t Mess With Alan’s Car“. Danceable.
Filthy Royalty (more AI) slows the rock into R+B with a mission to party and make it a “Filthy Christmas“. First, they gotta invite Alan. Drugs, drink, danger.
Frequenters to the blog remember John, Argyle, Holly, Hans, Ellis, and even Simon from the Christmas quadrilogy Die Hard–but GuyzNite’s “Die Hard” rocker refers to an Allen several times. Had to fact check, but Sgt. Powell’s first name was Al. Although not in half of these films, the song makes a point to miss him (and Xmas). Well done. Oh, and BLUE ALERT!!
