Wham! Legendary Pop Band Celebrates Last Christmas

Here’s their version of Last Christmas. All six minutes and 44 seconds of it. You’ll get the idea in about 30 seconds evem if you’re not paying attention.

And here is the tune stretched out to 35 minutes long, by a guy named phone.o. Beautiful.

Thanks, Dangerous Minds

Happy Holidays: The Raveonettes, “The Christmas Song”

Once again, my wonderful KTKE played another tune that was new to me and also in a holiday spirit.

Don’t–or didn’t–know the Raveonattes, but I am going to find out.

I like this tune, though:

 

Happy Holidays: T-Rex/Marc Bolan, “Christmas Bop”

Get out the silk jeans and the space shoes…

Happy Holidays: The Jackson 5, “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus”

I’m gonna tell my daddy.

Happy Holidays: The Pretenders, “2000 Miles”

Is very far through the snow.

Happy Holidays: Dropkick Murphys, “The Season’s Upon Us”

I have to admit that for the most part Christmas music does very little for me.

A lot of that is probably rooted in my Semitic upbringing.

Not that Little Saint Nick, or especially Father Christmas (which Peter gave a nod too earlier) are not great tunes. Hell, even though I am not even close to being an Adam Sandler fan, I do love his Hanukah song.

However, the other day the ever unpredictable KTKE played a pretty cool tune by the Dropkick Murphys that I liked a lot.

Meaning this is likely to be my only contribution to this genre (but you never know).

Happy Holidays: Marc Bolan and T-Rex, “It’s T-Rexmas”

I’m gonna see you on a Saturday night.
