O Holy Night
The sun is shining, the grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway
There's never been such a day
In Beverly Hills, LA
But it's December the 24th
And I'm longing to be up north
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Song by Tyler, The Creator
And of course Mariah's All I Want for Christmas Is You. ππ β₯οΈ
You're a foul one
Friends you don't have none
I wouldn't touch you with a 39-and-a-half foot pole!
You're a monster
Your heart's an empty hole
You're a goner
You got garlic in your soul
Sound like someone we all know!!?? π€
From her bonkers but wonderful "Christmas Special" that had almost nothing to do with Christmas except for maybe this song.
Little Drummer Boy by Harry Simeone Chorale
-Frank Sinatra
Thatβs a Christmas song, right?!?
Carol of the Bells (Trans-Siberian Orchestra)
This is one of my all-time favorite songs. So purely spot on about coming of age. A bildungsroman in a 3 minute song: https://youtu.be/9tZT_FdAxpY?si=4DtuiHlQgg2I0wiu
I saw Alex Chilton in Berlin around 1987. During the whole show he complained about the sound engineer and ended up insisting that the management give us all our money back.
He was clearly under the great emotional strain that often accompanies genius.
Great show.
The internet is an amazing Time Machine. Thereβs a great old song of his solo I was looking for, and I ran into thisβ¦ https://youtu.be/n3XMC_Sk3QE?si=SBwyfkYLQk6v0OSw
