{BTW this countdown thing has been going on for a year now. Gonna need a couple months more….}
Eve is the bitch of anticipation, the day before Xmas, that is. To ‘Nutcracker’ Dirty Boyz list “All I Want For Christmas (Is to Get Crunk).” This party rap lists drugs, sex, and some marginally legal bits: 24’s are better ya’ll, A t-mobile sidekick, My own Gucci sweater, dog, And i want some soldieries, And mouth full of tooth, And a fresh black tee, Belvedere on Christmas day, Courvoisier on Christmas eve.
Fan 3 raps “I Love Christmas” bc of loot. This 12-day shouted count of getting in industrial percussion (It’s all about the stuff) includes a bike with somethin’ crazy like 24 speeds, right?
Garage ska-anger from Pablum about what to buy, what to buy, what to buy…. Despite this being “Christmas as a Grown Ass Man,” you may not get nothing. It’s the 24th and I don’t have a clue Please don’t take it personally The gift of giving isn’t my specialty. Brutal. Honest. Amusing.
Wagon Lord wants to be Santa Claus, in order to shower you with presents on “December 24th.” Alt-folk foolin’ around.
The promise of toys underlines the Christmas Eve readiness of the elf narrator in “Santa’s Workshop.” Clever beating pop from John Kay & Who’s to Say.
More elf noise from The Pointer Sisters from ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, The Movie’ soundtrack. In “Christmas Town“ We’re up here in the North Making toys for you until December 24th. Headache inducing kids showtune. [But, you wanna get weird about it, try the remix from VNS, CK, K0M0D0. whoa.]
Emma Hamel plonks the same couplea notes on the piano while pop-confessing on “December 24th” she couldn’t ask for more. Guess she’s met the right one, so nothing else matters. But, hey, no need to ruin it for the rest of us.
Hot Press and The Silent Nights, however, glam rock that on “December 24th” give me anything as long as it’s gold. Now we’re talkin’!
