Get Going Christmas

Annie & Ben trample ‘Jingle Bells’ to sketch an amusing descent into chaos at the North Pole. “Wake Up Santa” they hail, hoping Daddy will set things straight. Kidsong blight.

Bud Kirsch’s lugubrious “Wake Up Santa” slows the roll call with country crawling pop. Neither the angel Gabriel nor the elves can do it. Threats are made.

Grampa rock from Ashford calls out “Santa Wake Up!! Wake Up Santa!” Off key shot calling from some armchair Claus.

Wake Up Santa Claus” is equally atonal, but the big band backing Clarence Daniels covers for a lot of warbling.

Another diamond-in-the-rough novelty gem, “Santa’s Funky Wake-Up Call” by Rick Quarles (The Singing Science Teacher) does indeed get funky. He may have saved Christmas. Uh-oh, he didn’t!
