Roll On: Bernard

Bear Hard is what BERNARD does. Think hairy, more than navigating.

Marsheaux gets EDM and New Age-y for “We Met Bernard Sumner At A Christmas Party Last Night“. Not that we learn who this is or how hard they party (or bear). But it IS hypnotic.

Chuckling Event uses modulated spoken word to reveal BLUE ALERT the elf (Bernie) who satisfied the lonely when “Mrs. Claus Decked His Boughs“. Experimental oddness.

Girls Aloud hard pop that awkward age–too old for panto, too young for the sauce–where “Christmas ‘Round At Ours” was a larger than life cast of family characters: Daddy, Grandma, Uncle Bernie…. I dig it.

Rauf Yusuf also values family memories, especially Auntie Bernie’s “Christmas Lights“. Well, especially that one he had his eye on since he was five.

Bernadette’s Christmas” by Bel Harbour (Feat. Lea) is a song about a singer singing a song. Show tune style for the feminine form of Bernard.

Not as etymologically kosher, Bernice is the mother in honor in “Merry Christmas Momma” from Snow Boi. Smart Motown.

There’s also a Bernice (a floozy this time) in the unfortunate parody “Grandpa Got Runned Over By A John Deere” by Cledus T. Judd.

John D’Onofrio’s “Bernadette’s Christmas Song” is a thrasher of a folk call to celebrate… something.

Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention lambast the plastic holiday toy machine in the satiric Neo-rap “Uncle Bernie’s Farm“. We called that avant garde back in the day.
