Short Message Service was a slow build through the ‘nineties, but became the standard ‘hey’ by the Millennium. (BTW ‘Merry Christmas’ may have been the first text.)
I won’t repeat the dozen of these songs i posted a year ago. Here’s more:
Only casually Christmas, Sam Wineman is fully tech savvy but desperate with “Text Me Back.” Electronic pop meandering.
Parodying ‘Wish You’ Slant 6 & the Jumpstarts drunkrock “Text You a Merry Christmas” leaning into the funny-voice humor. Yeah!
Dragonette clues us in to the etiquette of when/how to say it with “Merry Xmas (Says Your Text Message).” This is sassy diva pop that perks up the ears with sudden profanity. Earned your burn!
