Onto the ’90s and the digitization of melody.
Skye Sweetnam wonders “Why Doesn’t Santa Like Me?” But in her cheesy rock pop denouement it was all a misunderstanding and she got candy and a CD. So, dinner and a show.
One of the nightmares of “Working Christmas Day” is having to listen to the crapy CD the manager plugs into the sound system. The Wind-Up Birds garage their pain for your pleasure.
It’s an “Inglorious” life for Tyler, the Creator who only wanted CDs for his birthday or Christmas. He got CDs. BLUE ALERT rap, bc life is like that.
E. Breez also BLUE ALERT raps about “Coming To Town (2021 Remaster),” but he only gets DVDs and CDs and not Jordans. Still, not as angry.
More wistfully, Francis Blume reminisces about another “Christmas Coming Down” set to the CD player’s noise (especially Joni’s ‘River’). Get help, man.
Ginny Loon also indies the sentiment while “Polishing The Stars.” This one misses you, and she attempts to Put on the CD and pyjamas with the stars on and your name still on the label. Yikes.
Microscopically more upbeat, Mirabilis Collective, feat. Julia Nicholls goes the chamber music pop route for “Christmas Is Here“–as demarcated by putting on that old CD, loud.
More recently, “Pop Punk Christmas” does what it claims, crediting CD compilations. Secret Secret Dino Club has fun with it.
But, that CD can be a weapon. Saint Godfather’s “Santa Claus Is A Metalhead” demonstrates St. Nick’s displeasure when He’s gonna get you Britney Spears CDs. Lordy, how naughty WERE you?
Mike Bryant gets old school RnR honky tonk in his “We’re Gonna Rock Around The Christmas Tree Tonight.” To start the rock, CDs will be played–despite the ’50s sock hop theme. Can’t hold a good disk down.
