Year-round Yuletide oddities
Praps simply inspired Yogscast goes a bit BLUE ALERT with “Carrot for a Cock.” Power ballad about a mistake and the magic life thereafter. Oh, i get it.
Rodney Carington has a classic bit about a disfigured snowman…
Problem is, it’s a short funny country song bit. Freddy B has elongated this number to suit hisself. It adds flourished and even answers the titular question.
…so please enjoy the song in it’s 1/2 minute micro-entirety.

Party on, snowdude. For all people.
Leaning on Frosty a bit hard Monika Herzig polishes up some freestyle jazz for “Ballad for a Snowman.” Cool.
Blinded wants “Dear Mr. Snowman” to come in and dance. It’s a come on–he wants a friend. Folk fusion fun.
The Teds more reliably warn “Hey Snowman” don’t come inside. Slight pop.
Cameron Blake sings “Fireman Snowman” as an entry in the coffeeshop poetry finals. Folk dada.
Pierre Komin has a zydeco take for “Charlie was a Snowman.” It’s a love song.
Po’ folk in the South need snowmen, too. “Dirty Little Snowman” is warbling country from Catherine Irwin what might break yo heart.
Seemingly praying to the great “Mr. Snowman.” Thomas Wall Band asks, in an experimentally folk way, for it to snow. It’s to make the children happy, but… cause? effect? hunh?
John Prine’s got this. In his own style of country folk he reaveals “Humidity Built the Snowman.” It’s not a jolly jubilee, though, is it?
Soulful blues/country from Dragon Rock (feat. Ray Sharp) mashes up ‘Wizard of Oz’ with our flurried friend in the heartbreaking “I’m a Snowman.” Help him, Wizard!
Pickin’ and shiverin’, PigPen Theater Co. delineates “The Snowman’s Song” as one more snowball on the pile. Fine folk.
Cornball country from Hank Thompson in “Mr. & Mrs. Snowman.” But they have separate snow banks.
Chuck E. Cheese is not known for their hit songs, but i like this country thrasher from robodog Jasper. “Jasper’s Snowman” thus rises from the children’s clutter and is anointed proper pop from your chilly host. Rock it, J-Dog!
Country bubbasplaining from Marlin Wallace about “Abominable Snow Creature.” Talking, then howling, then lesson learning. It’s just like life. With a country music backbeat i can gitalong wit.
Adults fall down and wave on the ground this time of year, too.
Kenny Loggins gets responsibly grown up and romantic with “Angels in the Snow.” It’s lofty eezee listening about their kids. Best paired with a young merlot.
The Listening pleases the crowd live with ethereal hard rock for their “Angels in the Snow.” Woo
Beth Sherburn makes a romantic come-on with her “Snow Angels.” Odd foreplay, but okay.
Washing the love with the whiteness of snow Amy Sky’s “Angels in the Snow” reflects, reveres.
Wanting wishing leering Eddie Pinero emo-pops “Snow Angels” mostly about lost innocence.
Cris Williamson lights up the disco genre with “Snow Angel.” High notes, high sentiment, seems high.
Ed Grossheim dedicates his “Snow Angel” to his special one. Sounds like they were doing more than waving arms/legs. Winkwink.
The journey of life occupies “Snow Angels” by William Park. Dude, he’s dying!
About the most disturbing expression of love and life through the song “Snow Angel” heralds from Willie Hyde. This pokey country campfire crooning will mess you up.
Well, you might not just love your snowflakes. You might FEAR them. Get weirded out by Shad Weathersby as he’s “Chasing Snowflakes.” Children of the cornstarch! Aiee!
Don’t forget about God! Michael Peace lays on the lounge act seeing Jesus in “SnowFlakes.” He means it.
Less serious is Moss Grad with his science presentation to the tune of Cruz’s ‘Dynamite’ “Dendrite Snowflake Song.”
Crushing comedy into an icy ball is Jenny Stafford at The Musical Theater Factory, sitting all y’all down for that talk about uniqueness and snowflakes in, y’know, song. “The Snowflake Song” goes on a bit, but stays amusing.
Tim Hawkins sings that same message to his own children. His “Snowflake”? Better singing, but harshly abrupt. Did i mention funny?
I’m not saying snowflakes mean love for the adults. But they are…
Bryant Oden has some synthy pop in his “Snowflake Kisses.” Young love is so fast!
Jason Chen is more puppy dog breathy with his “Snowflake.” Earnest pop love song. She could do better.
Slow it down with a lonely guy (and his guitar) in a dark room. Playful, almost Hawaiian, folk from Ernest Mistica in “Snowflake.” ‘Nother hour of practice and we’ll have something.
Laid back bouncy bluegrass from Pickin’ On in the form of “Trailer Trash (feat. Iron Horse)” mentions snowflakes, so here’s Sasha Armani jockin’ and syncin’ with his “Snowflake Song.” Fun. We may be a tad off topic.
Simo Dacanay rotates us back to the holidays with “Snowflake,” another power pop pouter about you, baby.
Amp it up with Amber Sky Records (feat. Adam Courtney) tearing up party rock with their “Snowflake Song.” The harder the backbeat, the deeper the love.
Let’s round up with ’66 country rock: funny, but also musical! Jim Reeves sings “Snowflake” to his sweetie ‘cuz he met her when it was cold (‘though i think she’s never warmed to him).
Nickelback’s song was the first single from their fifth studio album, All the Right Reasons… made multiple US and UK top 10 charts, peaking at #1 in several of them, including Billboard‘s US Mainstream Rock, US Pop 100, US Adult Top 40, UK’s Rock and Metal charts too (is this uncategorizable?).
Welcome back the hard working Holderness Family with the hot topic bad Xmas family pix in their “Santa Song.”
This Bob Dylan reinvention for the soundtrack of the 1973 film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid reached No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart… one of Dylan’s most popular post-1960s compositions… the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.
Buzhard Dakota leans into the grace and soul of it with “Knockin’ on Santa’s Door.” More pretty than funny.
Lynette Alice Fromme was a casualty of the ’60s from hallucinogenic drug use and excessive counterculture deprogramming. She had been a cutsie California entertainer but was exploited by Charlie Manson to help out with his murder spree to ignite the inevitable apocalyptic race war. Her big headline grab after Charlie was sidelined was shooting at President Gerald Ford (the least likely target of assassination ever), resulting in 34 years of incarceration.
Reverend Glen Armstrong takes a turn at psychoanalyzing this pop culture footnote, concluding that “Even Squeaky Fromme Loves Christmas.” It’s worth your while to peer into his bouncy pop lyrics and judge his own stability.
Taylor Alison Swift’s country career has been heart on sleeve since high school, writing and singing about what she knows: white girl privilege. She inspires and bores generations of suburbanite teens with her mix of vulnerability and bitchiness. And she’s blond.
Evan Taubenfeld has a wish this “Merry Swiftmas.” His tribute to the megastar is adorable and appropriately as cutting edge country as a Walgren’s credit card. (Watch for his list of second-raters he won’t settle for.)
