Title tiredly raps “Fall Asleep!” as they cannot do so, not on X-mas Eve. You okay?

In “My Younger Days” Trey Lorenz can rap-recall not being able to fall asleep anticipating Santa. Some soul may occur.

Krazy Kuzins take the rap to the children with their “Hip Hop Holiday Cheer.” Many filial duties are expressed, but that staying up late thing wasn’t in the Commandments….

Waxing nostalgic Jaqueez (feat. Lil Reign) R+B raps I remember the days (Days)/I used to stay up late/Waitin’ on Santa to bless the hood (Yeah) in the poetical “It’s Christmas.” To be a child again is to make poor choices that seem great later.

“Ting a Ling a Jingle” is a jolly 1950s lullaby about a child who won’t sleep. Frank Luther introduced it as a big band frolic. Concurrently The Marlin Sisters lead us into a corrido effect. While at the same time The Ames Brothers (with Marty Manning & his Orchestra) butch it up to much the same effect. Imma stay with Junior Walsh, who countrified this number so hard it’s dad gum Celtic Old Country is what it is.

Cruel Buddhist, M.Du, Cocoonics DJ the lofi of “Didn’t Sleep Last Night” into a hypnotic cacophony of dreamtime. I’M UP!

SFG Music presents their “Christmas Dream” as high altitude spirituality. Smells like AI pop.

The hoedown version of this pablum would be Mike Manuel’s “Christmas Dream.” Family, Jesus, and love. Put a bow on that dream.

The Christmas Jug Band have a dream about being There, i mean–you know: THERE! The MANGER! Great honky tonk for “Rockin’ the Nativity Scene.”

Tiffany(SNSD) has her own “Christmas Dream.” but it’s underage prurience. We can dance until we die. Go, dream, go.

Mark and James holler (rap?) about “The Girl of My Dreams” to Santa. Pretty shallow dreaming, bruh.

And Christmas Day… after all that hullabaloo… it’s time to SLEEP!

Bathing Stirrups admits “I Slept Through Christmas Day.” Off key indie actually is spot on for this narcoleptic garage apology.

“All I Want for Christmas is a Nap” is retro pop from Matt Aaron, whining and moaning about the burden that is The Holidays. Danceable, and yet pitiful.

Shark Uppercut is always welcome on the blog, and “Five Past Turkey” sums up the feelings we all know: Tryptophane the light fantastic, you know. Electrono-rap.

How hard is it to corral the kids Xmas Eve?

Annette Funicello and Tommy Sands croon to children “Go to Sleep.” It’s from a sort-of Christmas musical, so it gets in.

“Jingle Jingle Bling Bling” is Youth on Track’s rap about Eve prep. The kids need to sleep gets put on a loop.

Kj52 & Spechouse want to know: Do You Not Know How to Sleep?! in the hilarious parental meltdown “Go to Bed.” Rap fun with Jingle Bells influences.

As others go to sleep, Secret Sinclair’s would like to be “Where You are (Is Where I’d Like to Be).” Hey, i just said that. Lugubrious folk pop.

Cher shares the stage with Stevie Wonder for “What Christmas Means to Me.” Going to sleep is one of those things. Soul stirred pop.

Mista Ben Hood raps it out. “Ready for the Holidays” tells you to Go To Sleep. It’s the reason for the season.

Santa? Is that you?

“Santa Man Comin Down Your Chimney” (Original) by John Band’s Family Ham is a disco garage effort to sneak Krampus into your house.

Birthing Stirrups warns you to COVER UP YOUR CHIMNEY in their electronic ditto machine of “Krampus Grill.” I’ll leave you to get to it.

Scrooge gets fingered in “Krampus in ur Chimney,” an odd mix of movie samples, rap, and silliness from The Snowflakes.

Hey, kids! Look to the skies! Or, if you’re indoors, look to the chimney! It’s Xmas!

“Santa’s Coming Down the Chimney” is ‘O Susana’ from The Golden Orchestra. If you were a kid, you’d like it. Raffi tries this, too. Unplugged!

The Land Band (a dad with kids) welcome the Red Express with their “Down the Chimney” pop kidsong. Pretty straightforward.

Gill Henry Durant raps about being a kid and needing that peek up “The Chimney.” Doubt dissolves with visual evidence. Or was it all a dream?

Again? I overlooked L M Azpiazu’s original “A Christmas Tango” (about celebrating JC’s Bday, when it first posted the updated “A Christmas Tango (With Santa).” Both’re sexy Latin music, only the latter is about fatter men.

Lala Deaton torches up the night before with all her fussing over kissing ‘cuz “I’ve Got a thing for Santa.” Seems he’s got a thing for her as well. Look out.

Throwing Muses has some trouble focusing. In their “Santa Claus” the object of affection reminds me of Santa Claus. Then there’s a lot of running. Wild club indie.

Elfie with the Christmas Workshop Band freestyles the aberrant, lisping “Love You Santa” with abandon. Now we’re getting to the novelty of it all.

Blue Powerade Boys sardonically have a bone to pick with all the crap going on. “I am Samta” seems like the reasonable epicenter of blame. Plucky clucky indie.

Also sus as Big Red is AronChupa & Little Sis Nora’s BLUE ALERT character “I’m the Santa Claoz.” Some fun EDM Euro-pop.

Santa Churn is rapped about in “Winter Wonderland” by Homie Churn (feat. Henry The Barbarian). Some dis and BLUE ALERT bleeping.

Jackie B is the strip club owner in ‘The Great American Trailer Park Christmas Musical.’ When he lounge lizards the bluesy “Baby, I’ll be Your Santa Claus” you might want to reconsider your life choices.

“Santa Bibby” is also rapped about this time by K Bibbles. He seems nicer.
