A treatise on radio stations...
Ok, written down it sounds like a great idea: all holiday music, all the time. However, listening to Santa Baby by Madonna, Eartha Kitt, Britney Spears and Marylin Monroe, as well as Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) by Cher, U2, Mariah Carey and an unidentified female artist from the 50's is WAYY too much. And when you have to fill an hour with probably about 20 or some such songs, you have to really scrape the bottom of the barrel, because you need to fill all this time with variations of music. This is where some of the stupid Christmas songs come in. I keep hearing "The Holiday Season" by some jazz singer and its sooo stupid...here's a line from this song:
"It's the holiday season, so hoop dee doo, dickory dock,
and don't forget to hang up your sock,
because tonight, at 12 o clock, he'll be coming down the chimney down."
I can't even begin to dissect this song to tell you how wrong it is. First of all, its a dumb rhyme....second of all, there was no extra word, it is actually "coming down the chimney down." Down the chimney down. Down the chimney down.
Anyway, the song still cracks me up, and thats beside the point.
Parodies are only meant for Weird Al Yankovic, and occasionally Bob Rivers, who wrote the 12 Pains of Christmas...parodies are not tolerated when this happens:
"Santa, there's no need to feel down, I said Santa, pick yourself off the ground..." (to the tune of YMCA)
You people should be ashamed of yourselves.
The 12 Pizons of Christmas or whatever, and Dominic the Donkey, are "Let's make Italians look stupid" songs.
And you know what, I have to leave, but hopefully I'll be able to write more about this later, to talk about one of the new weird Christmas songs I have heard...Mamacita, Donde esta Santa Claus?
Questions, comments?
