Peek on Earth.12

Steven Paterson disparages the whole poverty at Xmas deal with the folk complaint “Has Anyone Seen Santa Claus?” Not seeing is not believing.

From the Winter Concert December 2019 in the Fraser Performing Arts Center at Fraser High School, the Fraser Youth Choir glees all over “On the Roof (I Saw Santa Claus).” Old time rock and howl.

“A Christmas Story” may be fiction. The Song Trust use spoken word to recount how not only is Santa seen, he’s ridden alongside, and snacked by. The night never seems to end, until the narrator awakens that is.

More adult shenanigans from Leo Howse pops the rock of “I Saw Santa Claus Throw Up in Wetherspoons.” Sounds like someone can place him at the scene. Great fun.

Reprising “It’s Christmas Time Again,” Harley Poe rocks us down the rabbit hole of chainsaw terror about a Santa you Do Not Want to See.

He saw/she saw in “If I Saw Santa Claus” by Billy Mancini, Enzo Mancini, & Miah Whitmore. They all want love, and know who they have to see and pop sing to to get some. Rap bridge!

Usually a solitary event, “The Night We Saw Santa Claus” becomes a folk pop moment for father and son Ken and Patrick Simpson. Sweet stuff, but you can tell a five-year-old helped out here.

“I Saw Santa Claus in a Bar” ululates Pickup Pickup w/Sofia tambourini. The beat is on in this carnival indie. What was Santa doing there?

The Guide Family includes the kids who haven’t learned language skills yet to belt out “I Saw Santa Claus.” Hard pop whatever.

Almost as unintelligibly, Patrick O’Connor gargles “I Saw Santa Claus Rocking Christmas.” Nice guitar solo, but the genre swerves into easy listening elevator.

The Ohio City Players may be borrowing a Tom Waits style to begin the story of the “Santa Claus Stakeout.” But their jazzy indie ends badly… or doesn’t end(?). This one’s a moody masterpiece.

Robert Piccione claims “I Saw Santa Claus” at the corner saloon asking for the mens. Spoken word storytelling featuring humanity’s lowest common denominators. Yeesh.

“I Saw Santa Claus! (And He Saw Me)” is a jug band yarn spun by Christian Cordes. Believable? Hmmm…. Enjoyable? Hell to the Ho! (And what DOES the old guy do when espied–???)

New Kids on the Block squeeze out some blues rock to encapsulate their incredulity that “Last Night I Saw Santa Claus.” Y’all. Mighta been a hallucination when i listen more carefully.

Jim Keyes figures big band is the way to announce a kid “Spying on Santa.” It’s big and bold and not sneaky at all. Celebratory.

Also astounded was Platinum Trophy who rock out “I Saw Santa Claus at Lil Danny’s.” This mighta been a drunken stupor, though.

Look to the skies! (when looking for Santa) advises Karl Vrålstad with new age country in “Ringing for Christmas.” Takes itself pretty seriously, but it’s pretty serious stuff.

Kidstuff from bickerers Scott and Mia Staton who pop out “Hey Hey Santa” to get his attention Christmas Eve. Cute and annoying at the same mo’.

Life-size Aussie dinosaur puppets churn out the pop “Magical Christmas.” Let’s all look out for the sleigh, they recommend, along with other chores. Kidsongs do that.

“Funky Sleigh Ride” from Chris Meijer and Carl-Johan de Neergaar (feat. Pia Bergler, Alexander Larsson & Stina Meijer) gets the funky beat down, but the order not just to look out for, but Watch Out For S.C. rankles a bit. Danger, Goodwill Robinson!

Peek on Earth.7

Buck Owens calls out the double standard: Don’t dare peep cause if you do ol’ Santa Claus might be watching you! Nonetheless, it’s a “Very Merry Christmas” with electronic country punctuating the traditions.

Kevin Sisson wakes accidentally and descends the stairs Xmas Eve. What he sees causes him to exclaim “Let’s Do Santa’s Boogie” in the best rockabilly possible. It may not be a dance; more a speed setting.

“If You don’t Wanna See Santa Claus Cry,” advises Alan Jackson in maudlin country, then baby come back to me. Quid pro quo, dearest. So, don’t look.

Don’t look for Santa Claus my/Mother used to say, echoes Charley Pride in “Santa and the Kids,” another country mudder. Apparently, if you do, he’ll not bother with you.

SBG / Grungatronic seems to be using the public announce at K-Mart in their “Looking for Santa Claus.” This jolly experimental number gives up quickly.

The nerve-tingling story of “Jolasveinar” as sung by The Non Traditional recounts the Icelandic tradition of the thirteen Yule Lads who visit children in the nights before Xmas. Grýla will take them away if they misbehave. Our singer does’t misbehave, but his little brother must’ve been peeking because he’s missing the next morning. Moral: more presents! Retro indie pop.

Ella Fitzgerald wants to see Santa Claus in the swingin’ “Good Morning Blues.” See, her bay-he-bee isn’t here; so, Santa needs to send him to her. Not sure Mistuh Whiskuhs needs to be there, but she said that. Big jazz band.

“Mamacita Donde Esta Santa Claus” was a hit novelty Christmas song from the ’50s (we’ve been there), but we have yet to hear the untranslated verzh looking for Santa from Chabelo. It’s a pop paradise for Señor Wences fans everywhere! S’alright! (He rerecorded this several times, including the 1981 disco edition.)

Kiddos Edu Tunes synthesizes the AI out of “Looking for Santa Claus.” Neo-western pop… no, it’s just a mess.

King Author, A​.​P​.​N​.​S, Bling the Great raps about “Looking for Santa” because he doesn’t come to his particular hood. Get comfy, gonna be a while.

Concision, on the other hand, helps Goiter explain how “Santa is Real.” She-ing is believing.

Canterbury Tavel wants to in Lapland so you can help “In Search of Santa.” He might be in the Fells. Hyperactive kidsong.

Peek on Earth.4

Sidebar! “Let’s Take a Peek in the Manger – God is Great!” by Jennie Williamson and AriSon is uplifting kidsong for all those holy voyeurs.

Sam Manning goes on a trek “Looking for Me Santa Claus.” Into the white neighbors’ yards! Classic Caribbean so it smacks of big band. Delish!

The Rev. Horton Heat gaffes when his Daddy uses a ladder Xmas Eve to get on the roof. Did he see “Santa on the Roof“? Yeah, and he said go to bed. Quick thinkin’, Pops. Rockabilly greatness.

It’s been a while since i listened to some Dr. Duke Tomatoe, but must needs heed his warning “Look Out It’s Santa!” Do you think he has a gun! Yes, eyes. open, all. Bluesy rock.

Maureen O’Brien jounces while “Waitin’ for Santa.” Euphemistic swearing results in some disappointment when it’s time. Electronic kidsong.

Thwarted lookouts in “Snow Got in Our Eyes” from Fruitcakes. Retro pop rock (my favorite) allows for other sense to take over. These snarky kids won’t quit.

Asking the tough questions  Charlie McAlister & Eric Ostrowski want to country know “Why Wait for Santa Claus?” The answer is pretty zen.

From some other country Will & Grego are “Waiting For Santa” with all the grace of an eight-and-a-half bluegrass fiddler. It’s jittery fun.
