Do card games up the ante for Xmas?
Certainly the pasteboards figure into the “Christmas Casino Dream“, but Nicola Maurantonio slops the AI into soft lounge jazz. so who cares?
Hans, Angelo drunkenly raps “Christmas Poker” with his strategizing all over the rooftop. Even my notes don’t help.
Pokemon is also a card game. Sadly the supporting music doesn’t rise much above the BLUE ALERT “A Relatively Poke Christmas“, in which the Poke Gangster raps nonsense from his poke of view.
Bob Rivers barely saves that day with his parody “Pokemon” about how obnoxious the over-hyped hobby is to parents.
Or maybe the odd pop of ChikënFist’s “Christmas of Want [Adolescent Lament]” will help. Pokemon joins the list of must haves, along with Stretch Armstrong and a Gameboy.
Remy molds a more learned parody “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Grixis” for all the MTG players out there. In-joke fun. (His “Tarmo the Green-Nosed Lhurgoyf” is also amusing.)
Stephanie Waldvogel’s “Carol of the Spells” succeeds not quite as well for the same card game. Quit caring about good music!
Brian Falduto’s “Christmas Solo” celebrates all things lonely, including playing solitaire. Peppy country pop undercuts this table for one, but that irony sells it.
The coolest Christmas card-player song must be “Dingo” by A Harris and Hart Holiday. This cowboy tale told in spoken-rap is traditional novelty. I mean that in the best possible way. The game goes wrong, spills into the street, and then….
