https://soundcloud.com/user-770148857/santa-covid-bluesJust goofing around and having a little fun. This was done with Realtracks. Happy Holidays, All! Lyrics: Yeah, Santa's in the Protocol, won't be no Xmas this year, They swabbed his nose, and found just what they feared, All that covid mucked up in his beard Yeah, Santa's under quarantine, taste buds are on the fritz Can't get fat if he won't eat his banana splits, Bout to give old Mrs Claus a case of fits Santa's getting tested, hour by hour each day Hoping for a clear to put on his cap and play Kids check their phones for news, things are looking grey Where did he catch it, how did he get to carrying it Does he have the Delta blues, or the Omicron variant Anderson Cooper wants to know and he's been querying him. Yeah, Santa's in the protocol, won't be no Xmas this year, Won't be no presents, the chimneys will all be clear, CNN says there'll be lots of jobless reindeer.

TuneMonger,
What a great and creative write--a COVID Holiday song . . . impressive concept well executed. I like the blues vibe you have going on here . . . there's some part of me that would have liked bit of Chuck Berry in this one. But this is well done. Awesome rhymes and pop references in the write. Love that sax. Congrats on a slick tune!
All my best to you,
Deej

Hi Bob ...
I love Blues-Rock and this song is a good example of why I say that. Creative write and the backing tracks are so good! BIAB can deliver some great tracks ion demand.
Love the sax - reminds of Huey Lewis' sax player. Great choice.
Loved it! My head's still bobbing and my feet don't want to stay still.
Loved it!
Alan

Bob,
A very clever write. (and well-written, too)
"Where did he catch it, how did he get to carrying it
Does he have the Delta blues, or the Omicron variant
Anderson Cooper wants to know and he's been querying him."
...a man who knows how to rhyme-and-write!!
Great use of BIAB. Awesome BAND - killer sound. Good mix.
Excellent.

Hi TuneMonger,
funny, clever and leaving that bitter taste.
Since I'm a sucker for blues-rock and ironic lyrics, it must be 'thumbs up'.
Well done,
Stefan

Fun song!  Like floyd jane, I loved the "variant/querying him". And it's good to hear "Omicron" pronounced correctly!

Mr. TuneMonger, I seem to be quoting you much this morning. So much so that when you comment, you can start saying it's from both of us. This song, too, is one that fits right in my heart and ears. Very clever write. Excellent seasonal topic, and your lyrics are always so clever. Your vocal is perfect, too. At just under 3 minutes there's plenty of room for a harmonica solo. Maybe for the album version. Have a great Christmas, and thanks for this early gift.

From what we've seen all around us for two years a bit of clever humor is much needed.
Throw in the blues vibe and we are always in.
Well done!

Well, that was fun!
Very well written, clever lyrics.
And man, it's been a long haul hasn't it?
Greg sums it up best: "Santa isn't the only one who has the Covid blues.......I'm soooooo sick of this Sh....t!!!"
Best to you and yours!

Hi Bob
Great song and very good lyrics
Have you put together a great band
Your singing fits great
And the sax solo is cool
Hopefully Santa Claus does not have to retire
Because the virus will now exist forever
And the virus variants unfortunately also
Is just the question of whether people should now run away from it all their lives?
Or should just start to live again?
In any case a great song
Thanks for sharing
Despite all this
I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a good and healthy start into the new year 2022.
Many greetings
Andi ;-)
