Rhymecast goes childish with “Do You Want to Play in the Snow?” Frankly i’m scared of these children and these lyrics. No thank you.
Just as unfortunate, English teaching through songs from Turn On Your English results in “In the Snow.” Fluent Englishers may have trouble with the understanding of it here now.
Robotic easy listening from Dina Martina with “Fun in the Snow (Phoebe).” I guess this is for kids, but the over enunciation is so oddly pronounced i bet the kids could have ironic fun w/it.
Kpop, where the girls look like girls and so do the boys–barely legal. Starship Planet teases out some snowtime love with “Snow Candy.” (Fret not, subtitles will walk you through the playful romanticisms.)
Detours, the alt-Brit pop experience, make us wish for more white with “Fun in the Snow.” I guess they can get silly when they want.
“Snow White Crystal Clear” is one of those lazy lounge musings that people just can’t get enough of. Esler Burke makes me comfortable with his easy listening pandering. Need a nap….
BLUE ALERT to awaken your sensibilities. Chompa has a wake-up call with “Beneath the Snow.” Preachy rap.
Let’s calm it down with a young woman, a piano, and Xmas lights. A spark of hope in the horror, a wisp of snow in the night, doddlevloggle’s “Smile at the Snow.” Poignant and homey show tune just for you.
Take a long look outside at the blanket o’ white and marvel. Is there any other view that stymies our senses so?
Manhatten Transfer smoo-oo-ooth their way across the pale piles with the classic 1941 Claude Thornhill “Snowfall.” The band is so big, it’s orchestral. Doris Day adds sex to this one. Tony Bennett adds class. The Four Freshman add cool. Let’s stop there.
Gospel tinges Ingrid Michaelson’s “Snowfall.” But it’s a prayer for love of man, more than of God.
Reckless Kelly turns his “Snowfall” into a cowboy survival struggle. Just another night out West.
Scott Chapman stumbles through his poetic “Snowfall (Christmas Dreaming)” mixing love, Christmas joy, sadness and beauty in no particular order. Languid pop balladeering.
Pretty puffery from the makers of Angry Birds. “The Snowfall Full Song” might appear fragmentarily in the background of some video game, but here it’s a maestro-piece of vocal wonder and piano drama. Sung by Osmo Ikonen.
Illinois State University’s a cappella group The Clef Hangers pace out a serious (Enya inspired) and solemn “Snowfall.” Try not to watch how they channel their emotions bodily.
Rock that fall! Tim Rosenau burns up the flurry with “It Snowed.” Ooo, mama.
Well, here’s what turns my snow machine on: HANSA with their “Snowfall.” Fun frothy frivolity!
Educational songs for the kiddies! Guriezo sings “Snow is Falling Down” in broken English so we can learn how not to say it!
“Snow is Falling Down” gets sung by many elementary schools. Not sure where it comes from. It’s not Plank Road. But it will teach them to bang on those tambourines in any way they want to.
Vincent Micciche puts the cliches to work with “Snow is Falling.” Light elevator rock tells us about love, peace, children, Christmas, and… oh i guess other happy tidings too.
Piedmont Songbag chants out the problems we’ll have, and the precautions we’ll need with “Roger, It’s Snowing.” I’d take them seriously, i’d.
Darker My Love play “Snow is Falling” with a funky rock joy. The harbinger of Christmas seems like a glad master coming to oppress us in the nicest way possible. Be merry, i mean why not?
Shakin’ Stevens’s big Christmas hit was ‘Merry Christmas Everyone,’ but it gets shared as “Snow is Falling.” ’80s UK rock from the Welsh big dog (check out that sax). (Yeah, the VEVO is super creepy.)
Buster Inc unapologetically goes full throated with “Snow is Falling, Amen!” Christ under a star and you under a blanket of white, it just goes together, friends. To the rafters!
Creepy gospel soft country from Jim Ed Brown & Helen Cornelius in the dull shape of “Fall Softly Snow.” Angels, mangers, Mary–all crammed in there.
They said rain, but Trout Fishing in America gets us back on family values Christmas track with “Snow is Falling.” (And some fatherly jazz support wrapping the presents.) Thanks TFA!
Discordant hammering yodeling nostalgia from Timothy Seth Avett as Darling (?!) with “Snow is Falling.” Prog rock mixed media. Or, as we say around here, you don’t hear that everyday.
Silhouette goes big hair band with “When Snow’s Falling Down.” The prog electronica rock is overwhelming and it loses its way 2.5 minutes in. But this is a concert piece. Sit still and wait for the Big Finish. Boy, is it.
While on the topic of weather manipulation, let us mention the maudlin machination moaned by Deanna Loveland, “If I Could Make It Snow.” Lite country ballideering with Celine highlights.
The Vamps are heartbroken and snow’s the trigger. “Hoping for Snow” is just twisting the knife in this pop folk tinkler. Whoa whoa whoa baby.
Sarah Close has looped in her universe with a parody of her own minor UK hit ‘Call Me Out’ into “Snow It Down.” I applaud self parody, but this solipsism is only saved by her deservedly diva talent. Siren pop.
Surrounding Cities ice pop music over a garage cinder block with “Hoping for Snow.” It’s hopeful, with an emo twist. (Nice guitar solo.)
Elto2 goes crazy on her uke (not really) with her homegrown folk rock “Hoping for Snow.” Shyly talented.
kb467 posts a ‘traditional’ Christmas song “Hoping for Snow.” Much more Christmas in this ’60s throwback altpop.
Although from Adele’s 2015 album 25, the single was released in 2016… peaked at number five in the UK, number eight in the US and number 10 in Canada… the video received a nomination for Best Visual Effects at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards.
The girl sings so lovely everyone wants to imitate it. Can they make jokes in her range?
Aubrey Howell and friends add spirit to the humor with “Can’t It Wait ’til December?”
Britney Spears’s second single from her ninth studio album featured brass, marimba, “syncopated synths”, percussion and a horn section… an ode to fornication and making sex tapes… appeared on the national charts in countries including Canada, Spain, Scotland and the United States, where it debuted and peaked at number 86 on the Billboard Hot 100… topped the Dance Club Songs chart after several weeks.
Derrick Barry (w/Nebraska Thunderfuck and Adam Ramzi) stars in Adrian Anchondo’s slavish tribute “Christmas Party.” It’s about office party shenanigans with sexy backup dancers in the elevator hall.
The Bruno Mars/Mark Ronson song became a worldwide phenomenon with its major impact on pop culture… according to Billboard, it remains the biggest hit of the 2010s… spent 14 consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, seven non-consecutive weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart, and topped the charts in several other countries including Australia, Canada, France, Ireland and New Zealand… second best-selling single of 2015… one of the best-selling of all-time… won two Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year… 2.6 billion views YouTube making it the fifth most viewed YouTube video of all time. If Bruno Mars didn’t do so famous for the Mark Ronson wouldn’t be so many mockers mucking.
NOTE: Some of the home grown attempts are fun for family, but incomprehensible. Let’s skim off some creme…
(Don’t judge: watch the Byl Family with “‘Uptown Funk’ Holiday Parody” and you tell me you want to see twelve worse versions.)
Chris Carmona takes a very long coupl’a minutes of skit to get after his greedy spoiled targets with “North Pole Funk!” C’mon, let’s GO!
Long Island’s WBLI funnymen go a bit faster if not any funnier with another “North Pole Funk.” Nice alcoholic outro, tho.
Is it the song that inspires insipidity? High Society feels the spirit with “Uptown Funk–Christmas Daddies Version” for a telethon, but i can’t charitably share the fun. It’s like a musical exercise. B+
Amelia Carella of Paromedy mumbles up “I’m St. Nick” to remind you what a badass the gifted be. Hot Damn! Believe!
Dan Taylor brings the parody with Playa Santer in “Santa Funk.” Uh hunh. I’m deckin’ i’m trekkin’ i’m wreckin’. Uh hunh.
Adele’s lead single from her third studio album became her second UK number-one single, following… the largest opening week sales in three years… debuted at the top of the BillboardHot 100 in the US, reigning for 10 consecutive weeks… fourth number-one on the chart… the first song to sell over a million digital copies in a week… 2015’s 7th best-selling single… the music video broke the Vevo Record by achieving over 27.7 million views within a 24-hour span… also broke the record for shortest time to attain 100 million Vevo views, as well as shortest time to reach one billion YouTube views (88 days)… won three Grammy Awards: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance.
Adele-able parodies tend to lift the level of high humor due to her… saintliness?
Alyssa Smith plays her collegiate parody into a “Hello It’s Christmas.” But it takes forever and the lip synching is novocained.
Nicole Wilson invites you to her Xmas party with her “‘Hello’ Adele Parody.” That’s some trouble for an e-vite.
Kelsey Lynn Ellis redeems the echoey vocalizations with “Hello from the North Pole” in which Santa searches for the faithful.
Tim Wheeler takes it up a pearly gate with “Hello, Christmas Eve” pitching services for his church. Wait. this is advertising!
Kelli Smith goes Jesus with Josh Christopher’s “Hello.” Christ’s birth is a wake up call, y’all. Hello!
Newlife fights the war against Christmas with “Hello (It’s Christmas Time).” I’m not sure which haters don’t want him to don his gay apparel, but he makes a case for ostentatious decorating. Great video.
Rakhee Noazaria spends a whole minute trying to get the ‘rents to answer the door in her “Hello (Christmas Edition).” Hehe.
Joel Kopischke, a god among parodists, has Kelli Cramer sing about a disappointed list maker in “‘Hello’ Adele Christmas Parody.” Kelli sells it, and the humor is largely blown out of the water by her vocals.
Phat Daddies make the obvious play with “Ho Ho” casting Santa as the emo whiner we hate to see. Nice parody.
The same idea in “Ho Ho” by The White Boys takes its own sweet time, but comes off funnier.
Kim Novak brings it down the chimney with her “Ho Ho.” It’s not all cookie jokes, but Santa takes it on the belly here.
The debut single by the American rapper Silentó peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, where it has spent 6 non-consecutive weeks… the viral clip on YouTube has over a billion views… reached over 2 million in sales by November 2015… received a nomination for Song of the Summer at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards and another nomination for R&B/Hip-Hop Song at the Teen Choice Awards... Australian site Irkitated named it one of the absolute ‘worst songs.’
Deva Delporto goes mad mom on the hit with “Whip Nae Nae Christmas Parody.”
