The grim truth about Christmas songs
Christmas (ie, every day right after Halloween), it when your radio is filled with healthy, spirit-lifting songs on the household of faith, with a big man in the red suit. But appearances can be deceiving. In general, we forget that the snowman Frosty background / dies at the end of his song. Or Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was perhaps only a further insult massacre of his comrades. Many of the world's most beloved Christmas songs {} is almost nothing more upsetting than the tales of death, helplessness and despair. Take off your rose-colored glasses, simply because the following stands out as the horrible reality of some Christmas songs} {bookmark:
Have yourself A Merry Little Christmas (written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, 1944. Among the artists Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, and James Taylor)
The original begins with the opening words of gut-punching, "Have yourself a merry little Christmas / It may be the last." When Judy Garland nixed the words too depressing (the girl had the instinct), the writers is a bit amused. However, the last verses ("One day soon we will all be together / If the fates allow / Until then, we will pull through somehow ") shows a stern message of the song: Let's enjoy This short-lived celebration as we can, mainly because life will start to suck again soon.
Santa Baby (written by Joan Javits & Philip Springer, 1953. Performers include Eartha Kitt, Madonna, and Kellie Pickler)
First, it is the sluttiest funny Christmas songs in existence. This is a woman flirting with Santa so that he gives you his money (if that woman is a stripper is up for interpretation). An attractive young woman trying to woo a man of old crude for money? Sounds like it could have been written by Anna Nicole Smith circa 1994. Madonna 1987 version is of particular concern of his inspiration Betty Boop vocalization of his hearing is not so subtly ask Santa to "come and cut my Christmas tree. "I know this quote is taken out of context, but it sounds so dirty from Madonna.
I SAW MOMMY KISS SANTA CLAUS (Written by Tommie Connor, 1952. Among the artists of The Ronettes, The Jackson 5, and John Mellencamp)
The premise is that the boy came down on Christmas Eve to catch a glimpse of Santa Claus, but rather his mother is doing away with the man in red under the mistletoe. And we are led to believe that the Father Christmas is actually the father of the boy dressed, so it's all a misunderstanding happy when the boy goes back to bed under the impression that his mother is a whore. But nowhere in the song he explicitly said that "Santa" is actually the father of the narrator. It could be anyone really. A neighbor with a fetish for red satin. A volunteer army of the old Hi. Or the real Saint-Nicolas (it is true, right?). And even if it was the father the boy, so what? Walk through your parents having sex is a terrible memory enough, but to make available to your favorite holiday is about thing that could ruin your Christmas memories forever.
Do they know it CHRISTMAS? (Written by Bob Geldof and Midge Urie, 1984. Performed by Band Aid, Band Aid II and Band Aid 20)
Band Aid was set as well as the musician Bob Geldof as a charity group to raise money to relieve hunger in Africa. This refrain little depressing holiday has become the anthem for the group, which included the origin of Bono, Sting and George Michael. In 1989, Bob Geldof has recorded the song again with Band Aid II, which had Kylie Minogue, Bananarama, and Lisa Stansfield. And again in 2004, Band Aid 20 (with Chris Martin, Robbie Williams and Joss Stone) made the song a hit.
And that's not to love? Ah yes, the fact that the song contains some of the most depressing words any piece of music, not to mention a song Christmas Songs. Band Aid is here to let us know that people were starving to death in Africa, and especially because we all enjoy Christmas Figgy pudding and goose, we're all to blame. Since Sting let us know that in Africa ", the only running water can be the bitter sting of tears." Thank you, Sting. Merry Christmas to you too. But wait! There's more! Good ol 'Bono defines the guilt trip on even thicker when he tells us everything that "tonight, thank you God, it's them instead of you." Yes, Bono. Exactly what I thought. Me make snow angels and cocoa sipping must mean that I am grateful for all Africans die. "Do They Know It Christmas?" may be the musical equivalent of those ads puppies die with Sarah McLaughlin. There is nothing holly (or Jolly) about it.
I'll be home for Christmas (written by Buck Ram, Kim Gannon & Walter Kent, 1943. Among the artists Bing Crosby, Perry Como, and Gloria Estefan)
Such as famine in Africa, this song is rooted in real life misery. Wrote the Second World War (side note, is it just me or is co-writer Buck Ram too well not to be named a porn star?) This song was about hope of a soldier that the war will end soon enough for him to be home in time for the holidays. Well, fair enough. Wanting to be with friends and family what the holidays are about. It is full of hope, It's touching, it's almost a happy song. But if that were the case, I would not talk about it. No, the hope collapses with the last line, "I'll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams." So after all this, knows he'll never make it home for Christmas song. Spoiler alert?
PLEASE Come Home for Christmas (written by Charles Brown & Gene Redd, 1960. Among the artists the Eagles, Jon Bon Jovi and Aaron Neville)
Like "I'll Be Home For Christmas", this song is produced by depressing to spend Christmas alone. This song makes you understand why Christmas is often cited as the time of year when rates of depression and suicide through the chimney. When the Singer calls "my baby's gone / I have no friends", it fills you with just the joy of the holiday season.
SANTA CLAUS Arrive in town (Written by J. Fred Coots & Haven Gillespie, 1934. Among the artists The Four Seasons, crystals, and Bruce Springsteen)
Take several lines of this choice song and it looks more like a threatening letter from a serial killer of a holiday jingle, "You better watch ... He sees you when you sleeping He knows when you are awake.. " Shiver.
BABY, it's cold (written by Frank Loesser, 1944. Among the artists Ray Charles and Betty Carter, Rod Stewart & Dolly Parton, and Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson)
The duo is famous winter I like to call "an ode to rape." The premise? A woman at the house of a man. She wants to leave. He wants to have sex. He uses the weather as an excuse to win it. Do not believe me? Take a look at a number of "he said, she said" lyrics:
We wish you a merry christmas
