Ramblings of a Madman

This list will fill out over the next week as I find the appropriate songs...this isn't a list of songs I love or hate...some of them I love, some not so much. But they are all Christmas songs with a bit of a twist away from the happy, jolly, smiles everybody music (though some may make you smile...)

I'll start with one...Minnie and Santa, about a woman (I picture someone like "Blanche Devereaux" from the Golden Girls) who decides to seduce Santa...

And "Blue Christmas" in this list is not the "I'll have a Blueueueueue Christmaaaaas, without yououououou" song you normally think of when you see that title. This one is more of a 'Bah-Humbug' type song.

"Gonna Eat For Christmas" - let's face it...that's the true meaning of Christmas for a whole lot of us.

"Christmas Conga" - Again, a weird little ditty from Cyndi Lauper. You'd think a Christmas album by my favourite musical artist would also be my favourite Christmas album. It's not. Far from it. For the most part I like it, but I don't love it. Christmas Conga I like for it's infectious party atmosphere. The lines "Turn on the yule log, spike up the egg nog, and break those resolutions!" makes me almost wish I drank. Almost.

The additions continue...

Elf's Lament is a cool little ditty taking the form of a jazzy protest song from the elf's point of view. No union, no benefits...pretty much slave labour, really. And they've had about enough.
