Whether from the new nation of Franks or some throwing axe, FRANCES likely means free. And comes in so many easy to handle forms.
Liam Thomas applies the amateur music hall side show performance to get us to notice his mother, “Frances C (Sitting at the Top of the Christmas Tree)“. What?!
GIFT-A-SONG may be a smear for hire, as when it uses AI to conjure the R+B tribute “Francis’ Festive Fart Symphony“. Personal, cheerful, irreverent… for whoever this guy is. Something to play at his funereal in time to come.
Accuchannel is perhaps more complimentary with their AI electro-dance number “Holidays With Francine – A Festive Funny Christmas Dance Song“. Everyone seems to like her, but i’m not sure if she’s real.
Hoggle’s Jewelry hammers the garage of “Fran Spoils Christmas“. I hear the dissatisfaction with modern life, but who’s this Fran? What did he do?
François Villon may or may not be a celebrity (15th C French poet/criminal?) But Doug Stoothoff’s “A Very François Villon Christmas” is an incredibly weird journey into –holidays?!
“Christmas in the Barrio” is spoken corrido from The Hot Buttered Elves. Cisco’s up to know good up on the rooftops here. BLUE ALERT, Santa!
“Christmas Time” by Filip Blazic (feat. Francesca Roggerone) is beat poetry set to chamber pop music. Franny’s mouse apparently is stirring in this house. Go figure.
Eugenius celebrates hard with “Eggnog” until his friends show (including Frannie). Then the rapping gets… the same.
Frankie Traandruppel gets personal with his doo wop friendly pop “A Merry Frankie Christmas“. I think he means it.
“Frankies Rockin Christmas” might not be AI. If not, Frankie Rockin’ Smith is taking his RnR stoically.
Definitely AI “Frankie (Come Home for Christmas With Me)” churns doo wop into sentimental pop. Send your complaints to MusicHQ Hitlist.
Sheeps has a friend, Frankie Five (Godfather reference?), who shines when they’re “Steppin’ in Fer Santa“. Bandmembers Liam Williams, Daran Johnson, Alex Cartlidge, Alastair Roberts swamp up the blues rock proudly. Go go go.
TwinBROduction slops more AI with the easy listening soul “Where Our Hearts Belong (Christmas Version)” in which Frankie curls up at their wistful feet. (Dog? Faithful servant?)
An actual dog named Frank hides while Robert Bergeron hollers blues in the shape of “My Christmas With You”. Seems pretty desperate.
AI doesn’t know from honky tonk. So, “Rockabilly Christmas” supposedly by Mountain Rio barely cracks a country smile. Frankie on the dance floor notwithstanding.
How “Frankie the Snowman” became a thing, I’ll never know (the cool factor?)–but Mute Frank describes his mutant form with rock; Crude But Effective describes his butthole with AI kidsong; Stay Tooned (ft. G Fella) makes him a guido with Joisey rap. Embarrassing.
“Merry Christmas Frankie Angel” by Alright is throat shredding punk metal that prolly wishes well. Who can tell?
The Feast of the Seven Fishes is an Italian tradition for Xmas, so when Tony Trov sings “If You Give Me Seven Fishes” then he’ll feed them all, including Frankie and Deano and Mary and Giuseppe. Lounge pop what leaves behind a steamy film. Hella fun (even if all his friends are imaginary rat packers).
When Tom McLoughlin is blues rock “Doin’ Christmas Time” one of the inconveniences is Fat Frankie singing ‘Jingle Bells Rock’ on repeat. Mercy!
Matt Spainhour wishes “Merry Christmas, Uncle Frank” despite not knowing him or being related. That’s the power of folk music. Jesus makes a cameo.
More likely a relation, Art Paul Schlosser’s “Uncle Frank’s Christmas Message” is a rambling voice mail with deranged lyrics. Time for an intervention.
AI rebukes Uncle Frank with the boogie woogie electro-slop “Santa Left the Building“. Zii EDM wants to amuse us with the bitter dregs of Xmas aftermath.
Wait–there’s an Uncle Frank in ‘Home Alone’? “Wishin’ Them All Away” names names with swinging lounge slop from The Polinski Swing Orchestra.
Jack and Jill are relatives in the amusing rap “Christmas in ‘Hampton” via DubleAADank. They’re not angry so much as angsty.
DJ Get Jammed attempts to honor ‘It’s Always Sunny’ with an AI swing pop “Christmas Blows“. Danny DeVito’s Frank doesn’t fare well in the retelling.
“Darling Lorraine” marries Frank, according to Paul Simon’s folk rock. They hit some marital bumps. But, she makes him pancakes for Christmas. That’s love.
Antsy McClain and the Trailer Park Troubadours make a much welcomed return with “Frank the Christmas Turkey“. Kidsong polka about the fear of death.
The Christmas Jug Band (feat. Greg Dewey, Dan Hicks, Tim Eschliman) decry their “Christmas Shopping Blues” in proper jug band fashion. Even Frank draws a blank at the bank.
Santa asks Frank for tips when it’s a “Dolla’ Store Christmas (Badd Santa Cut)“, a funky blues screed from CM CityBillies. Stanky good.
The Frank in “Beatnik Holiday (A Spoken Word: Halloween and Christmas – More Similar Than Not)” from Fans of Jimmy Century might be of the -enstein’s Monster variety. And yet this experimental homage is not without its charms. [Song’s as long as the title… get comfortable.]
“Festive Frank is a Good Guy” especially at Christmas time. Love Note to Dexter sings a smash note in the key of addled pop. Awesome.
True novelty, “A Nice Italian Christmas” from Gary Giampaolo (Carly Giampaolo, Riley Giampaolo, Lauren Adoram Kershner) has all the timing and stereotype of a Bugs bunny cartoon. Frank’ll bring the bread.
Frank wishes “Frank You for Christmas” with punk undertones. Challenge accepted.
