Shanti Children’s Music is more traditional with “Santa’s Hokey Pokey” naming each aspect of that old elf (‘ceptin’ his big belly) to poke in a shake all about.
Yoyo’s “Reindeer Pokey” subs in animal parts to listen for and respond with.
Little Baby Bum’s “Christmas Hokey Pokey” features elves, reindeer, and Santa. ‘Sgettin’ crowded on the dance floor/excercise mat.
Not to be left out, Dr. Sean allows “The Snowman Pokey” to poke the carrot.
The Lemay Odyssey returns us to novelty adulthood with “The Christmas Hokey Pokey“, a RnR bitchfest of holiday headaches. THAT’s what it’s all about. Ouch.
The big show in NYC around the holidays must be the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes. Flesh and agility, just like Jesus preached.
Lea Michele includes this shindig in her usual annoying pop “Christmas in New York.” Lots of yelling, i mean vocal range.
Glenn Crytzer scours the world for the best Christmas show, but settles his big band stylings for “Christmas in New York.” Swingin’.
Darryl Gregory explores his Xmas sensuality in his youth when “I Fell in Love with the Radio City Rockettes.” He’s getting his kicks, get it? Folk American rock that may require therapy.
More raw, “The Bob Narley Show Christmas Comedy 2006” is a Pete da Elf special that runs the gamut of insult to injury.
“Holiday Road Comic” is the exceptional if improvvy rock ballad from Matt Braunger & Mike Phirman about whether there’s anything such as a Xmas night show. The screaming and weeping suffering tickles me.
You know who knows how to throw a festival in December for God???
The Minus Five party retro rock for their “Festival of Lights.” Man that’s got me dancing.
As a lounge number “The Festival Of Lights” by Barlow & Smith comes in as a tango. Seductive, even if poorly recorded.
Holographic Crew tries a BLUE ALERT electronic rap for another “Festival of Lights.” This might be a sacred number. If it’s anything.
Narrow Frequency uses AI to culturally appropriate their “Festival of Lights” as a watery metal celebration of Christ. Still not sure what i’m hearing here….
Ted Pearce returns us to traditional Hebrew traditions with a folksy “Festival of Lights.” It’s bi-lingual, oddly upbeat, and ultimately rocking.
Burnt Pizza gets slurry in their over-celebrated “Christmas Celebration.” It may be all a big show, or a big show off. But i believe.
Neon Cough also gets meh all over their “Christmas Celebration.” I think they’re just trying to be cool, as the indie tones indicate. (The pageantry is such a bore….”)
Pallas rocks a “Christmas Celebration” pretty hard, might be a Scots thing. As it’s prog, imma go with it.
Mary J. Blige soothes the R+B with “Christmas in the City.” Mandatory for NYC Xmas is a show at Radio City Music Hall.
Edgy Productions addresses thank yous for attending the Christmas Show. “Yours Sincerely” is rhythmic kid rock that fills the bill.
One of those wacky nuns in ‘Nuncrackers’ belts out “All I Want for Christmas” is a one night stand at Carnegie Hall. Practice practice practice, goes the joke.
Is “The Scary Caroler” merely a metaphor and not a singer? Lambchop puffs up his poetry with carnal imagery and metonymy enough to choke a wassailer.
“I Shot a Caroler” is the micro-short of a song from Sleigher. Screaming garage about something awkward that happened just outside the garage.
The Summer Januaries belt out not-quite-retro folk rock about becoming a “Christmas Caroler Mercenary” as an alternative to just sucking. It’s how he meets her. Happily sung after.
It’s Nat King Cole singing on my radio as Brandon Wattz R+Bs “What Christmas Means To Me.” It’s quite mellow, until we see Grandma doing the Electric Slide.
Then, it’s Rita on the radio as we celebrate “Christmas in the Cape.” Villages elevates mumble pop to a sentimental overture.
On the radio the singer prays/For Christmas every day. I know that one! Escaped Roots sashays through “Guns Will Stop for Christmas” as if the indie joy will mask that mention of weaponry. Say Peace on Earth like the rest of us.
‘Silent Night’ and ‘Rudolph’ playin’ on your radio means it’s “Christmas Time” for John Anderson. Country swing of the hicksville variety.
‘Silent Night’ and ‘Deck the Halls’ are the bummers for Lightfoot & Jeffery while they mope over “The Reds, The Greens & The Blues.” Soft, slow, somber country. I’m welling up.
Old Bing Crosby on the radio may not only be for “Christmas in the Country,” but Bryan Dallas is all worked up with his jazzy country bebop. Let him think we don’t get that urban.
Here comes Bing with ‘White Christmas’ again for “Made Of Snow” by Chris Commisso. Dealing with the cold, he croons his own self with some pitter patter pop. Hey Ho.
‘White Christmas’ on the radio is “Christmas to Me,” at least The Statler Brothers would have you believe so. Quiet, thoughtful twaddle. Country. Ish.
It’s that same song on the radio for “This Christmas” as Tim Angsten warbles through the indie folk of this mesmerizer.
I’m driving home for Christmas now, /’Silent Night’ on the radio begins Pust.write.sing.play for “Come on In.” It’s a pop invitation to get warm.
Beach Boys on the radio for a true “California Christmas” is Stephanie Trivision’s mood board rendition. Oddly downbeat pop.
‘Last Christmas’ is on the radio when Space Disco Band comes in from snow brick fighting with his “Friends for Christmas.” Awkward indie.
‘Let it Snow’ is my very favorite song, testifies Wesley Alfvin. It’s not a good thing, however, as he show tunes the bitchfest “Whatever Happened to Thanksgiving?” since the radio is full of this Xmas stuff on 1 November.
‘Driving Home for Christmas’ is on the car radio when it’s Nina Nesbitt’s “Christmas Time Again.” Building indie pop that’s on edge.
Lacking production values, Stefan Nieuwland piano lounges “Christmas Love” while driving home with Chris Rea in my ear (who in fact sings ‘Driving Home for Christmas’). Amateur hour.
I suspect that is NOT a reference to the newer AI “Driving Home For Christmas, Yeah (Radio Edit)” from Dakimo Music. Pop country that makes me change stations, despite the radio’s playing our favorite song….
All these Christmas Tunes/On the Radio these days are nothing compared to that Mariah one. I know, i know. And yet, “All I Want for Christmas Is You 2” showcases cello, ship bells, and superior nasally folk rock from Lightning Lucas. I have to approve.
It’s Mariah and Bing Friends of Cedar Church tweak pop with gospel about. I love the Christmas music playing on the radio, they declare when “Love is the Heart of Christmas Time.” All right already.
Don’t Call Me Ishmael snarks that “My Christmas (Is Better Than Yours)” since I say, it isn’t really Christmas until Mariah plays on the radio. Club rock that checkmates pop.
King Cole and Crosby play says Hair metal “When the Snow Falls Down.” Emil & the Heartland Express express enthusiasm for the weather.
So it’s Frank on the stereo for “What About The Holidays,” Ren Richards reaching through club blues to bring us down. Loneliness and stereos don’t mix!
Hey, that’s not Frank, that’s Michael Bible on the stereo “Under the Snow” where LYGA pines for your love. Easy listening indie.
Then it’s Mariah on the stereo for the nasally Alexis Lynn singing “December Dreaming” with soft pop slurring. Must you?
Finally, it’s Boston on the stereo for the ’80s party rock manifesto “Christmas Song” by Bedlight for Blue Eyes. It’s a rager down in Berkeley Heights. Hope you got the invite. (Now that‘s a story.)
