re: Let’s overanalyze some Christmas music

Two different songs. I actually saw Vince Vance and the Valiants perform that live in LC many many years ago. It’s a great song.

I love “Driving Home for Christmas” by Chris Rea. Gets lodged into ur head.

Apparently their repertoire was Christmas songs and parodies

I’ve loved this song my whole life, but I realize now how questioning the lyrics are. Just found this version-a little Emerson Lake and Palmer, a little Jethro Tull.

Jingle Bells is not the title of the song & isn't a Christmas song
Eh. The Thanksgiving thing is disputed. It was supposedly sang at his father's church on Thanksgiving, but the lyrics of the song do not seem like something that would be sang at a church in the 1800s. Especially the line about banging women while you are still young.
And the place in Massachusetts that says he wrote it there in the 1850s is basically wrong. He was in California for the gold rush and then after that he was in Savannah.
But I am surprised that it hasn't been canceled since he joined the Confederate army.

That line is haunting now that we are aware of the drugging and raping the Hollywood elites are committing

I hate every other version of Please Come Home for Christmas.
Charles Brown owns that song.

who the frick tells scary ghost stories at Christmastime?
You'd be surprised how many iconic Christmas songs are written by Jewish guys.

The point was that she was going to use getting drunk as an excuse for why she stayed the night. She's flirting with the guy. The whole song is about how she wants to stay but everyone else she knows will think less of her if she does.
Also, I realized this year that the original Frosty song has nothing to do with Christmas. It could fit in with a list of winter songs that only get sung at Christmas time; Jingle Bells, Winter Wonderland, etc.

Except, in context, there was nothing in the drink, and she knew it.
It's a song about defying social mores to indulge in romance.
They are both willing participants but she has to play coy.

That song was written in 1944. Obviously it is just a reference to a strong drink.

In the song, “I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus”, we’re made to believe that who the kid/storyteller perceives as “Santa” is the dad wearing a Santa outfit. So apparently the kid is young enough to believe in Santa, old enough to discuss what he saw to his friends (specifically, fellas, which is a word no 3-4 year old says, maybe 6-7?) but also not be able recognize the father in a Santa outfit?
The alternative is that the “Santa” is in fact not his dad which is why he wasn’t recognized to begin with.
Either way, I don’t understand why the kid would be having a laugh about it.
On another note, isn’t this kind of a weird song to play? Obviously kids can’t put together that it’s the dad all along. So kids are just assuming that the mom really is kissing Santa on Christmas Eve?

You’re a Mean One Mr Grinch is the OG diss track.
You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch.
You're the king of sinful sots!
Your heart's a dead tomato splotched
With moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch.
Your soul is an appalling dump heap
Overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable
Mangled up in tangled up knots!
You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch,
With a nauseous super "naus!"
You're a crooked dirty jockey,
And you drive a crooked horse, Mr. Grinch.
its not a diss track in that the Grinch agrees with literally all of that and takes pride in it

I can’t stand the stupid Christmas rap song in the Amazon commercial that plays every break of every game this time of year.
Unh. Yeah. It’s a good time comin’…
It’s offensive… not to Christmas. But to music.

This is how you overanalyze.
