Word salad may be more indicative of dreamscape than falling asleep. But i loves me some figurativization in my lyrics.

“Food Coma” is a whole ‘nother repose around the holidays. Comic rap from Young Adults Unleashed runs the menu of symptoms.

“Öh, It’s Christmastime Again!” from Half-handed Cloud has dream imagery, and just plain dream in it. But this indie pop delight ends with going back to sleep (‘cuz it’s Christmas time)! Yes, please.

“Dryer Steam” paints an idyllic bedscape. Durand Bernarr’s R+B ode to warm, fresh sheets offers the adults here a siren call to bed.

Bacio also enjoys a sleep. “I Can’t Wake Up At Dawn” is indie anthemizing with almost too much up beat in the melody. I’ll never sleep through this.

I guess everyone goes to sleep on Dec. XXIV. “Have Yourself a Merry Secular Xmas” is Connor Ratliff & Mikey Erg’s inclusive folk pop about going to bed, just going to sleep, you know, no big thing.

Too creepy to be a lullaby, Jav Douglass (and friends)’s “Oh, Baby, Don’t Cry” is the go-to-sleep Xmas song you didn’t ask for, but now can’t live without. Inspirational pop harmony.

Too tragic to be a lullaby, The Soldiers send orders to go to sleep in their R+B-adjacent “A Soldier’s Christmas Letter.”

If we all go to sleep, He’ll be quicker now intones the modulator in Slimes Souls’ “Santa’s Factory.” Well, i have it on good authority that’s what’s said. Who can tell? Fidgety pop.

Randall Paskemin uses comedy in “The Rezville Christmas Show” to introduce the Weasels singing “Santa’s Near (Go to Sleep)” for some strange reason i can’t see. It’s all very pop and fresh.

“Go To Sleep Under The Xmas Tree” from Retrospec is also not musical as much as it is a DJing of disparate media bites with unrealized purpose. Weee!

sylviaonthehighway belts out a pop ballad about Santa holding sleep hostage in the first 50 seconds of the epic “I Met Santa.” The remaining ten minutes are silence. It’s a metaphor for life! Go to sleep!

“It’s Finally Christmas Time” by El Domiii is practicing English, but with all the customs in place. Much is made of Santa getting to watch–but not you! Go to bed! Lounge pop.

The Wiggles recommend going to bed and making a wish when “Here Come the Reindeer.” Rock and roll -ish, but what’s the deal with checking out Santa’s belt buckle??

BLUE ALERT! “Go the Fuck to Sleep (Christmas Is Coming)” is Wolf Blitzer (the band)’s attempt to cash in on Adam Mansbach’s runaway bestseller. But the gentle lullaby pop doesn’t threaten just with Santa, but also with Jesus coming to your house. Saw those logs and no one will go to hell.

What time is it, kids?! Time for lying inert and unconscious, Buffalo Bob!

I wanna sleep as soundly as Christ the Lord/As he lay in the manger on Christmas morn: trills Abigail Ory in the bebopping “All I Want For Christmas Is Emotional Stability.” Le jazz hot. But cool dat.

Stevie Wonder’s “Bedtime for Toys” addresses tin soldiers, cotton dollies, even a Mickey Mouse. The inimitable warbler souls out about getting down, getting fast asleep. Listen up, children.

The Dan Collins Band slurringly checks the clock for “Bedtime on Christmas Eve,” a soft pop lullaby of growing impatience.

Is going to bed (Xmas Eve) just one more chore?

Joel of The Mik Maks childsongs his list preparing for night-night, but can’t seem to withstand the Zzzs “Before for Santa Comes.” Narcolepsy dis!

Candles, tree, food… it’s all gotta be done–before bedtime! Last minute carrib-rock from The Real Thing in the form of “Christmas Time.”

The groovy Candy Strypers wash out on all the chores when they “Forgot the Christmas Tree.” But they do remember to go to bed. Fab retro pop from 2023.

Laura Ridgeway’s “Christmas Lullaby” is not about her baby but about The Baby. Unimaginative soft pop tells The Story. You know this one.

Brad Tassell (feat. Steve Goodie) make complete sense with a rostrum of reasons why you should “Sleep Til Christmas Morning.” Great kidsong rock.

The “Midnight Christmas Lullaby” figures all the children are asleep. Which gives The Predicates the opportunity to sound off with New Age pop about how good life is now. Ahhh.

Bert Nievera keeps up with the chiming in this big-eyed “A Christmas Lullaby.” I expect a boop on the nose by the end of this jazz-lite condescension.

Alex ‘Elvis Claus’ Smith uses a bossa nova beat to belabor this “Christmas Lullaby.” Now if i hadn’t told you it was an Elvis impersonation you wouldn’t have gotten that, would you, little baby?

Starlet Knight impels powerful singing into a quiet performance in “Sing Me to Sleep.” Just so.

Now try Jamie Aaron Kelly’s “Christmas Lullaby” and tell me the difference to that last number. Taking care of Christmas.

Childish lisping may be adorable, but how many repeat listenings will you take of John G. Elliott/Michaella Elliott’s “Christmas Lullaby“? Massive string section, itty bitty voice.

More professionally, The Marty Gold Children’s Chorus follow the bouncing ballad with “Lullaby for Christmas Eve.” I can understand most of this.

Smokey Robinson & The Miracles pipe up with falsetto for their “Christmas Lullaby.” Promises of a bike and something Mommy will like compel compliance with the request: Go to sleep. No peeking!

Britpop (OZZIEpop?) from Fezziwhig pumps up the style for this “Christmas Lullaby.” Not simply a matter of slumber here, folks.
