Roll On: Felix

A Roman nickname, FELIX goes to the lucky.

John ‘JC’ Carradus (A.k.a. JC’s ‘Should Be’ Band) made a mad fan parody of ‘JBell Rock’ for his cats, Felix and Bold (and rat Helix, also Percy the pigeon) titled “Felix Xmas Song 2020“. There’s a bit of work gone into it, so all right.

Of course, the misheard lyrics help “Felix Navidad (Squeeze & Shred)“
marred by the AI and German. Felix Shim

Not to mention the Afro-beats “Felix Cannot Dance“, an overhaul of the original’s lyrics. Kwan Pa has gentle fun with the old standard, in English (sometimes).

Teen chanteuse Emily Claire (and sister) complete our trilogy with “Felicia No it’s Not!” (Original Christmas Parody Song). This too-early twirler decides it’s rather be a Thanksgiving song.

Robert Poer uses AI to honor ‘Bob’s Burgers’ with the pop hop “Holiday Grill Groove“. All characters get a shout out, including pouting Felix the one-eyed landlord. Well, i had fun.

Little Felice relies on Backroad Syndicate (and AI) to confess to “Sleeping Under the Christmas Tee“. Big Band strategies on how to catch Santa in the act.

Roll On: Emmanuel

Take a God break already. EMMANUEL takes the El of God with the Emma with us. And here we all are.

Rather than being the call and response (and also with you) for the Catholics en masse, many of these songs just rename Jesus. Celebrity, yes. But it’s a humble human sound.

Among the hundreds of hymnals, let’s restrict ourselves to the novel… or awesome–that works, too.

Gordon Mote uses prog rock to list epithets of “Emmanuel“. Nice Cliff Notes.

Cara Berg of The Songwriter Initiative takes a metaphoric interp with “Emmanuel (I Call it Kindness)“. Piano lounge indie.

Brandon Heath begins with personal mundanity, but eventually launches into gospel heights with “We Need Emmanuel“. Sensing sincerity here.

A nice Bossa nova backbeat propels “Emmanuel Then, Emmanuel Now” from Jody Robichaud. Approachable.

Kathy Mattea tries for the round with “Emmanuel“. Gently down the stream. Circular worshipping.

Chenél No.1 use electric folk to express her reverence for her “Christmas Delight“. Gets one note.

Gus & Iggy stay strong on the folk retelling of “Emmanuel“. Sounds personal.

Gentle folk from Joe Frye (feat. Fiona Culley), “Emmanuel” blesses and stresses our redresses.

“His Name is Called Emmanuel” is cast explaining to the children in the musical ‘Jingle in the city’ with creaking showtune.

Dave Mantel’s rock’n’roll seems influenced with Middle Eastern instrumentation. The resulting “Emmanuel” uplifts.

Will Heikoop’s “Joy (It’s Christmas)” is indie reaching to new heights. That piano noodling will not get any parishioners onto their feet, but it’s serious.

“It’s an Alfred Kinsey Christmas” is a Coffee On Mars AI New Age production from Brent Butler about finding the little man in the boat. Praying to Emmanuel doesn’t help. Watch out for sex ed.

Roll On: Dylan

DYLAN means great tide. Not a big whoop, except for the Welsh.

BLUE ALERT ! Whomst Gang introduces us with rap to “Santa’s Traphouse” full of guns, a nympho Mrs. Claus, and some dude named Dylan.

Dylan’s Playground is a front for half-baked AI kidsong, like “Dylan’s Jolly Christmas Song“–a song so tired it’s algorithm.

u

Sure, all i want is u, but for what? Kunt & The Gang get BLUE ALERT ska pop with “All I Want For Christmas Is You (To Bring Me Off)“. That was always implied before, i suppose.

Familiar lyrics, unfamiliar tune? Reorchestration by Future Music makes “All I Want For Christmas (Version2)” something to dance to. It’s EDM after all.

Starwars Betamax does seem to be singing the same song at all in “All I Want For Christmas Is You Part II“. Spoken word, and quite repetitive.

A completely different song, “All I Want for Christmas is You for Me” has Dave Dudley going cowboy with some easy listening country. Eww.

Robot voiced and spazzed out on the tempo, Filthy Pout also copies for “All I Want for Christmas is You, Please“. This one’s for the haters.

“All I Want For Christmas… Is For You To Leave (Pretty Please)” by Joel Bailey is when AI gets instructions to ruin a song idea. It’s still all about you. Pop.

Big Show: Xmas Roundup

AI squirrels around the idea of a “Christmas Rodeo” until we get a mischievous exploration of elf downtime. Electronic country pop supposedly by Trinity Jones.

In “Santa’s Rodeo Dream” AI hoots and hollers the country rock so know what bronc busting must feel like. Epic Powers Potion goes for it.

Sandra Tingalay gets quieter (with harmonica) for a better AI “Rodeo Christmas.” Recognizably country western.

Big Show: Christmas AI Presents

Another Sunday Afternoon makes merry metaphor of “The Christmas Show.” This indie likens all of Winter’s splendor to a production. Snowmen assemble!

Likewise, Jingle Bots compares all the hullabaloo of the holidays to “The Christmas Show.” Big band, though AI. And the crowd goes tender and mild.

SingIt Pop uses the lights strung and blinking for their “Electric Christmas Show.” Pop with a heavy beat. EDM even.

The Holiday Voices bebop the “High School Christmas Musical” life over caffeinated, hyper sugary teens we expect. Emerging talent.

“Footprints in the Snow” has something to do with a Christmas show. But Kaneidog (feat. Babs) uses more AI than sense for me in this shrill pop.
