Santa Clause won’t come tonight.
He is never late.
The reindeer may have been shot in the skies of the USA.
For a long time I have been told lies.
Am I dumb?
Am I blind?
I am feeling so fine.
Oh so fine.
Now. If that is the kind of Christmas song you can get behind, then venture forth good sir, because I love this gloomy little song. The French duo Cocoon released this acoustic number on their suggestively dark All My Friends Died in a Plane Crash in 2007. The music is cheery, like you might find in an adorable TV commercial about a new eco-friendly car… then you listen to the lyrics and BOOM! Love it.
Bottom Line: A great song for those who don’t want Christmas to be all candy-canes and gumdrops. 5/5
