Holiday Cheer

The first post... ahh... there is something so refereshing about a new blog. Something invigorating. Something that makes the music sound even better... Anyway....

Father Christmas by The Kinks has to be one of the most grossly underappreciated Holiday Songs of all time. From the classic riff that carries the song, to the lovely interlude towards the end, Father Christmas takes a mix of classic rock, punk, and sarcastic humor and blends them together like a fine glass of Egg Nog - pleasant and intoxicating.

"Father christmas, give us some money
Don’t mess around with those silly toys.
We’ll beat you up if you don’t hand it over
We want your bread so don’t make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys"
