Here is another Christmas song I'd like to share ... A story about the year when there was no Christmas... Its different from my usual country songs... And I hope you enjoy it. ______________________
Well there won't be no Christmas this year No there won't be no Christmas this year Santa got mugged by the LA cops Twenty of them really roughed him up So there won't be no Christmas this year
He was stopped somewhere they say in East LA Both tail lights were out on his sleigh They say his horses were so dead stoned It must have been the junk that he kept them on They had mutated ears and they thought they could fly away
Well I saw the tape some one made of the incident But unnecessary force wasn't evident When he was brought down by the one who made the stop He moved his head so they wised him up Until he resisted no more on the cold cement
So there won't be no Christmas this year No there won't be no Christmas this year Santa and his gang are now in jail Since they ain't crooked no one pays their bail And there won't be no Christmas this year ______________________ Tech Info: NoCmas.MGU BLANK2.STY Only bass & some drums remain...

Dystopian Christmas - sounds like an Australian Mob - The Beasts of Bourbon. Very good fun and lots going on. My hearing suggests there's more treble happening on the left. Your vocals are the stand out feature - cooool.
Cheers rayc "What's so funny about peace, love & understanding?" - N.Lowe
That was really something completely different Not just from you but on the forum. Really made me smile, good to have some humorous Christmas tune for a while. Enjoyable heavy rock instrumentation and your vocal fits like beard on Santa. Thanks Jim for your Holiday surprise!
Jim, Thank you for surprising me with that Christmas gut punch!! Really good/bad attitude comes through on the vocals and the lyrics are the best darkly funny Christmas song I`ve heard in a long time. Way to go for letting us hear this side of your music.
I don't know where to begin, because everything about this song is so incredibly good.
I'm not that much into Christmas songs, I must admit, but I must agree with Floyd: I'd really like to hear more of that style !
What an intro - I simply wouldn't trust my ears and had to make sure I had not accidentally clicked another song - BRILLIANT !
The lyrics are amazing - yes, funny at first sight, even very funny. But I'm more than sure that this is a bitter parabel on incidents that sadly enough happen to be real. And if that is so, I think there's far mor Christian expressiveness in your lines than in most of those Christmas tunes that are tootling in the malls this time of the year.
And BTW, it is exactly the way I love serious issues to be approached - it's 'Hats off' simply for those lyrics.
Your Vocal is just perfect for that song, the arrangement si stunning !
Jim, old cowboy that I thought you were: If I may utter a request: Please write and perform more, many more songs of that genre - you're simply too good in that to deny us the fruits of that talent.
You see: I'm stunned, excited and mostz impressed by this one.
Thanks for posting that gem. Oh yes: I really enjoud that really corresponding vide - nice job on this one, too!
Take care,
Stefan
PS: Of course I couldn't help remebering one of my favorite Arlo Guthrie tunes which was very funny, too, but also transported a cause:
TuneMonger LMAO, funniest thing I've heard in a long time!! Great work, this should be in rotation on any radio station that plays all-Christmas. Way to go!
Thanks Bob Where can we find that station ? Still your comments & support are always appreciated.

Thanks Ray Dystopian Christmas … A good song title… But I think its been done…
I checked out The Beasts of Bourbon… Pretty cool… Maybe someday I’ll steal from them …
Thanks again… Your comments & support are always appreciated.
BTW… About the treble... You may be correct... I can’t hear out of my right ear right now… Everything seems to be mono in my left ear .
This is the surprise packet of the season - Big Bad Jim getting down and dirty, turning Christmas music on its head. Jim, this is inspired. Your voice, the riff, the sound and arrangement just work together to make a great song. Loved the vid too. Thanks for sharing this and brightening our Christmas. Scary Christmas , Mike
Jim, this is awesome!!! I was expecting something different for sure coming from you...perhaps something with a country flavor! If this a had a couple of distorted guitars in it, it would be an Alice Cooper tune...yes you heard right Alice Cooper!! That is a compliment btw! It's strangely beautiful and something that just leads you on...hard to turn away from! Thoroughly enjoyed by me...great to hear something in a different genre from you! Thanks, Torrey
