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!!
ADAM be manly, but should he honor some descendent’s birth? Well, EVERYONE’s a birthed descendent from him.
Celestial Skies sneaks in a game party frivolity, “Adam & Steve“–as in Who’s kissing underneath the mistletoe? Pretty pop for a lovin’ season. (NOTE: plenty of songs list off names [of who wants what on Santa’s list]. Those aren’t thematically relevant [to me] here, but occasionally i gotsta include a duo or two.)
Big Daddy ABRAHAM started Judaism, freed the slaves, outlined the hierarchy of human needs. Nothing’s halfway for this big kahuna.
Clayman raps in honor of “Abraham Loves Draw, Shaymin, and Hanukkah“. Family associations and hobbies here indicate a specific person. Eavesdrop along with me! Spell it!
Garth Brooks is not shy proselytizing the message Tell the children of Abraham/There’s a star over Bethlehem with “Baby Jesus is Born“. Sing along to the country gospel, Jews.
In The Therapy Sisters’ “Abraham’s Lament” the head Jew questions the commodification of your end-of-the-year celebrations. Burlesque showtune. Boss klezmer solo.
