As you know, I'm not a big fan of novelty Christmas tunes. I just think they wear out their welcome real quick. On the other hand, i know lots of folks are fascinated with them and other people like to fit one or two into their annual mix and there is only so many times you can dip into the Bob Rivers well.
So I don't think "Snow & Sadness" by Smashy Claw will have a long shelf life, but I liked the concepts of the tunes and I got a bit of a chuckle. So it's I report and you decide time.
So I certainly liked the title of "It's Technically Possible That I'll Be Home For Christmas" and I liked the idea of going straight after a holiday heavyweight. This one's Pop Punk-ish and, obviously the message is that our protagonist will NOT be home for Christmas, even though its technically possible he could be.
Next is the anti-Christmas wish list for Santa, "Booze, Boobs, Blood and Blow". And I started out, here, to tell a drug joke and, well....let's just not, OK?
Third up is a take-off on the Chipmunks Christmas tune. In "Christmunks", it would seem that we have a priest or a minister and, I dunno, some alter boys, maybe? The tune is basically about the theoretically devoted laughing at everyone else who will burn in hell...but done sarcastically. I gotta be honest. I thought the premise was funny, but I couldn't make it all the way through (and I think I might have heard a curse word in there, but who knows what else happened after I bailed.
Finally, we get "Santa Had A Heart Attack" which is more along the lines of your average "Santa's Dilemma" novelty.
Your call. Don't shoot the messenger. This one's available at Bandcamp.
