Now that we're officially in the Christmas season, our first Christmas song of the day is "Mister Santa" by Amy Grant. The only video on youtube was this guy's christmas lights.
This has to be one of the all time ridiculous Christmas songs. Go back and listen to the lyrics around 1:45. "We've used a Kleenex when we've blown our noses." Wow. And this super cheesy "Santa... Here comes santa." My wife and I heard that on one of the christmas stations a few years ago and were floored. Now, Amy Grant has done some OK pop stuff in the past (and according to sales figures, must have had good christian music too) but I think this song and the fact that she continually does christmas albums might signal a downturn in her career. I'm thinking though that if I were a musician, I might easily sell out too if all I had to do was squeeze out a few christmas standards once a year.
And let's talk about this video. I'm really glad that I don't live next door to this guy. Maybe I could do something like this since I'm unemployed, but really, I don't care that much and I think doing the sync to music doesn't really look all that great. My wife took me by a house in her hometown where the family decorates both the front and the back of their house (you can see the back through the alley) and they had so many decorations that they took over the neighbor's front and back yards also. That was quite the spectacle. I think I would say no if asked, but maybe I would say yes if it really required zero work from me and they would pay all the electricity too. (I am unemployed.)
