Peek on Earth.19

Will we ever CATCH Santa Claus?

Well, David Phelps has a plan for “Catching Santa.” Marvy bossa nova with a seductive tango beat. A stun gun? Night vision goggles? Delicious!

Daily Bumps Family also decides “Let’s Catch Santa.” Family rock about taking a hostage. Uh oh.

Finally three-year-old Angelica yanks Santa by the ankle while she sings “I Caught Santa.” Kidsong with all the good and bad qualities of the genre.

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.1

Let’s keep the toss turning with more songs about staying up all night Christmas Eve. This time with peeking, you know that thing kids want to do, like during prayers–to see if God is real. Some of those ankle biters take it too far and plan to capture the old Saint. We’ll get to them.

Perry Novak adds jug band to the kidsong with “Waiting Up for Santa.” Seems merely impatient. Okay.

Waiting for Santa” from Sugarpie and The Candymen is a cappella fidgeting of the bebop kind. Jazzy cool.

Waiting for St. Nicholas” is dad-band retro synthed rock of the yawn some variety from Philly Cuzz. They tried.

Monkey Sing-along is also “Waiting for Santa,” possibly as relief from the heavy burden of breathing. Tinkly yet depressing kidsong.

Insomnia.29

Welcome back Dan + Shay to country pop how they Can’t stay up past our bedtime /And pray for it to snow/’Til we “Pick Out a Christmas Tree.” Hypnotic.

More rap from Cha$e Woodie spits off “Holiday Insomnia.” The night will never be the same.

I’ll never stay up past my bedtime/Ever again bebops the corporate Kidsongs with “Santa, Please Don’t Forget Me.” The admission of staying up previously is all the evidence i need.

Insomnia.25

Off-base here for the December holidays, but the Shavuot Song “Stay Up all Night” by Kerry Bar-Cohn is so meshugana and charming AND tango, i have to share. Now, write a staying up late song for Chanukah and i’ll replace this.

Staying up Past Midnight” by Andy Beisel & The Buccaneers is declamatory pop with some tea to spill about what the insomniac saw. An 8.5 on the fun-o-meter.

Simon Smith works out “Staying Up Late for Santa.” Reeks of AI, but this symphonic kidsong has a nice edge to it. The plan doesn’t exactly pan out, though. Still… presents! A puppy!!

Insomnia.16

Alyssa Liang brings us the short tale of the child who sits by the fire “Waiting for Santa Claus,” but doesn’t quite make it. Perfidious kidsong.

Alice Olsen grammas up the kidsong of “Waiting Up for Santa.” I know you’re impatient, but this song, it’s a bit strident. Chill, lady.

Storybooksong is to thank for “Waiting for Santa.” Welcome folk helps the kidsong morality.

Insomnia.9

Welcome back Cellus Hamilton (featuring Isaiah Jenkins), who synths the rap for “Up All Night,” a more grown up version of the stubbornness.

Allie of The Wiggles explains expansively how “I Just Can’t Sleep on Christmas Eve.” He wants to but, well– kidsong!

Laurie Berkner strums the kidsong guitar and ballads about how “Santa’s Coming To My House Tonight.” She doesn’t seem to understand as encourage ADHD behavior. Don’t applaud too long, she’ll encore for you just the same. She’s giving like that.

Insomnia.1

The subject of sleep rears its pillow this time of the year, ‘cuz kids who are excited for Xmas morn do not want to succumb to Sandmen. They twist and turn and fidget and flip out, rather than nod off. That lack of sleep bears some consequences we’ll delve into next month. For now, let us address this potentially brain damaging behavior.

Welcome back Carbon Leaf with the “Christmas Child” who will lie awake (for a whole week?) to some excellent blue grass breakdown pop. Diggit.

Amy Grant comes out with it: “Still Can’t Sleepon Christmas Eve. No country in evidence, just pop music. For kids. Okay.

How can I sleep whenHere Comes Santa” belabors Christmas Choir’s Murgatroyd & Burrell. Operatic kidsong. Waiting on an answer here….

Oneirology.23

Cowboys can dream, too. “Silver Hopes and Silver Dreams” are the hollering wishes of Hilary Marckx. Harmonica bridge!

Keepin’ it Western Junior Walsh honkies the tonk with “It Won’t Seem Like Christmas (Without You).” I prefer this to the slicker Elvis take, but it’s all about who’s in whose dreams.

Also picking and strumming, Michael J Thoma croons about his “Christmas Dream.” It’s about you and gifting your best holiday.

‘Bout damtime some kids sang about their dreaming! “Dancing Sugar Plums” is the unironic kidsong from Johanna Lewis about, well, you know….
