Bunch of Believers turn ‘It Must be’ into a whole new ska game with “So Many Santas.” This is often a point AGAINST the Saint. And the comparison to JC doesn’t prop him up. But… it’s Ska! Cool.
I Don’t Know Margo grunges country to give us an adoring “Secret Santa.” Kinda rocks.
Allowing for the stupid fresh of Santa, Bob Seger & The Last Heard beseech with correct r’n’r reverence “Sock It to Me Santa.” Bud Logan reinterprets “Sock It to Me Santa” as electric country with disco twang. That IS different.
The Soul Saints Orchestra get back to the funk with “Santa’s Got a Bag of Soul.” This mid-’90s James Brown homage delivers on the henhs.
Brook Benton slops on the soul for a real “Soul Santa.” 1971 vulnerability. Man, that flute!
Flourish out with some fine War parody: “Sleigh Rider” by Santa’s Elves. That chingon es muy trucha.
