The Rest of the Christmas Songs
Just in time for Christmas, we have the rest of the Christmas with the Flamingos tracks. Some are good, some are crap, all are for you! Merry Christmas, goblins!
Winter Girl: A 6 year-old’s love song to his snow bunny.
Father of the Son of God: A song about Joseph, the most forgotten member of the holy family.
Always Christmas Eve: The idea was that it seems sort of sweet - every day is like Christmas Eve with this guy’s girlfriend - until you realize that Christmas Eve sort of sucks.
It’s Christmas Again: I don’t know how I wrote this song, but I really like it. It’s a song for people who like to get drunk on Christmas.
The Greatest Gift: I think this one is sweet. Jason Madison from Bigboote and the Scurvy Pirates, who played the angry Christmas elf in the stage version of Christmas with the Flamingos, thought it sucked. I love Jason Madison and respect his opinion, so feel free to agree with him.
And, the filler:
For the completists in the crowd, here are two songs that are pretty desperately awful that also appeared on the album. Download at your own risk.
Angels: I don’t do sincere well.
Day Out, Day In: Christmas rap. Bad idea.

don’t forget James Brown doing “Christmas in Heaven”. Apropos, no?
