Why Does Santa...? Well, it was between this one and one about an elf that goes postal. Won't be everyone's cup of eggnog, but...'tis the season... Ho! Ho! Ho!

Davis: Lyrics D.A. Hughes: BGV arrangement, vocals Me: Tinsel and stuff Well, this is the time of year When we are all in great cheer We gather ‘round the mistletoe And run out in the virgin snow We celebrate the birth of Christ And wonder who’s been naughty or nice Well, this is the time of year To dream of elves and reindeer Go to bed early, wake up quick To see what was left by St. Nick Check under the tree for your gifts And hope you were on top of their lists The cookies are gone There is mud on the floor Something is amiss With this Christmas décor There’s someone by the fireplace Snoring up a storm You recognize his bearded face And his uniform But why does Santa smell like booze? Why did he throw up on my shoes? And what does he have left to lose? Oh, Santa Oh, Santa Well, we fetch a cup of joe As he wakes up, ho ho ho And just as we’re about to ask He pulls out a tiny li’l flask He looks us all right in the eyes Says “Bottoms up!” to our surprise Well, he finishes his drink And we don’t know what to think Should we call the cops or the North Pole? Or keep him here out of the cold? We’re all confused and full of doubts Did NORAD* track him to our house? The coffee is gone He’s yet to get sober Maybe he’ll be right Some night next October There’s only so much we can do On this holiday We’ve got to push him to get through And back into his sleigh Oh, why does Santa smell like booze? Is that him on the local news? Chasing around the camera crews? Oh, Santa Oh, Santa Oh, Santa, why do you smell like booze? Are you having the Christmas-time blues? I hope you’re not breaking any yuletide laws Or you’ll get in trouble with Mrs. Claus…. But why does Santa smell like booze? Why did he throw up on my shoes? And what does he have left to lose? Oh, Santa Oh, whoa, whoa, Santa *NORAD Santa Tracker Wiki

Hi Ron,
A really catchy tune! A little Christmas cheer is good for us. Anything that makes me smile is probably a hit in my book.
Your vocalist always nails it. Thanks for a great listen!
Merry Christmas,
Alan

DC, Very funny! I really liked this one!!! Ha ha. Excellent mix though, among all the frivolity. Ok if that is the way you are going to roll, I guess I need to pull out "Christmas Truck."

Loved everything about this. I agree with Bob, should be a Christmas Classic. Really well done, enjoyed very much! Now, post the one about the elf that goes postal please Dave, THANKS for the listen and the compliments. We have an album's worth of holiday tunes, and they are mostly...uh..."offbeat" is probably the best word. I'll have to ponder the elf song, it's pretty far out there. A very cheerful and upbeat seasonal song with nice vocals. It put a smile on my face. Andy, a smile is EXACTLY the reaction we were going for. THANK YOU!! DC, Very funny! I really liked this one!!! Ha ha. Excellent mix though, among all the frivolity. Ok if that is the way you are going to roll, I guess I need to pull out "Christmas Truck." David, so glad this pressed your "Like" button! Looking forward to hearing your "Christmas Truck". It might motivate a post of our elf-gone-postal song. Certain to offend folks on both sides of the 2nd Amendment debate...

Doesn't sound like a happy ending is in store with that title though. Ha! Glad you liked the song despite the sinister sounding association. Wishing you a Merry Christmas as well!! Ron

This is a fun song and reminds us of the sound of the Sweethearts of the Rodeo band from years back.
The lyric is witty and the vocals and band sound like they’re all having a blast. Good mix too!
Happy Holidays! J&B

J&B, why, THANK YOU for the listen and kind remarks. The Sweethearts could really set your toe a tappin', couldn't they? Glad you enjoyed our bit of silly Christmas fun!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
