Actual country strumming from Bill and ‘Shakey,’ unfolds the tale of “Woodolph (The Petrified Red-Nosed Reindeer).” He seems noble, but i’m suspecting this might just be a table lamp.
Month: July 2021
Ringers: Walker
Santa’s rigorous system of Big Brother may have been helped by a reindeer. No, not just any of the reindeer. “Walker, Texas Reindeer” has his eye of justice on you. Don’t. Be. Naughty. Axis of Awesome’s cowboy country music intro is, in a word, awesome.
Ringers: Tootles
Not quite at the bottom of taste, The Ninja Fam put to music the story of the flatulent force behind Santa’s need for speed. “Tootles the Tooting Reindeer” might be an animated Xmas special somewhere. Those who need to can find it, I’m sure. Otherwise, enjoy this tame pop music kidsong.
Ringers: Toby
Adrian Hill has a channel of Eric the Turkey silliness. His Christmas entry “Eric the Turkey and the Nervous Reindeer” involves the shy fella, Toby, who can’t fly until he loves himself. Also, he appears to be an Irish Setter. The song, moreover, is synth silliness. Be a shooting star, Toby!
Ringers: Thomas
Starting up like a coked-up ‘Grandma got Run Over’ spoof, “Thomas Got Mistaken for a Reindeer” takes the Christmas Cards down a long and winding oompah road of nonsense. Might i suggest Witsec?
Ringers: Steve
When The Hot Buttered Elves take on an icon, watch out. “Steve the Reindeer” is a punk-pop-cowboy rock mashup about a carousing party animal. Whew.
Ringers: Stephon
Homophobic country comedy’s a cottage industry. So there’s even a cover of Cledus T. Judd’s “Stephon the Alternative Lifestyle Reindeer” by Mac McAnally. The ironic indignation of allowing for the gay is matched only by the extent to which this musical production makes an actual song.
Ringers: Stasher, etc.
“Can You Name the Stoner Reindeer?” is Jet Baker’s entry to the list making. Stasher, Downer, Blitzen, Vomit, Moocher, Dramatic, Bitchin, Pincher–i think i got those right. What are names but an appropriation of your identity by The Man, anyways, if you follow?
Ringers: Starrlite&Starrbrite
More twins, since who could singly replace Rudolph (with a cold)? The Jeff Archer Group goes gonzo with this polka adjacent kidsong “Starrlite & Starrbrite the Reindeer Twins.” Lounge-tastic!
Ringers: Shadrack
Anybody remember Loretta Lynn’s alternative to Rudolph “Shadrack the Black Reindeer“? This prankster just wants a chance, he’s the fastest ever was! This Black doesn’t want to put anyone outta work, though. Turns out the team works best integrated. Holy Toledo.
