Ho! Ho! fucking Ho!
Indeedy, Americans sure know what Christmas is all about.
Without Christmas we wouldn't have these prime nuggets of pure awfulness that manage to make the yuletide festivities even worse.
These tunes aren't as bad as a christmas song by someone like Meat Loaf, accompanied by a video with our loud fat friend dressed up as Santa. As Santa is an anagram of Satan, there has to be a special corner of Hell where this Meat Loaf xmas exists on an eternal loop......but as Hell is only, vaguely, mentioned twice in the whole bible, I'm confident that we are safe from that......for want of a better word....Nonsense!
These tunes from the MSR Song-Poem company, are unbelievably bad, but the right kind of 'Bad', that is....er...Good!?
If you didn't know, MSR were a bunch of musicians who advertised in the US press classified section, offering to put your poems to music.The lucky punter would then receive a vinyl single of their atrocious poem ,indeed, put to music.Quality control was obviously a secondary matter,as they had to arrange a few standard riffs and fit these terrible lyrics into some kind of melody,then record it,in little more time than it took to play the finished single.I shall be returning to the vast MSR archives in the near future,but this jolly Yuletide jamboree of shite will more than wet your appetite for more,jaw dropping badness in 2020!
So gather around your christmas table and sing-a-long to "Randy, The Li'l Elf" or the inexblicable "Santa Came On A Nuclear Missile", and bin off Crosby for another year.

happy end of the fucking year (world), Jonny! endless thanks for what you do and give us, you beautiful trash santa/satan who fills our stockings straight from your musical butthole.
That was a touching xmas poem Shug,almost as touching as that lovely erudite tribute to my efforts in this dark corner of the internet.
I did flirt with the idea of doing one of those embarassing rock star retirement things on new years day, with this great seventies underground pamphlet called "The End Of Music", but ....nah! What the fuck else is there to do on this dying rock? The ultimate Nihilism: Whats the point in doing nothing when there's nothing worth doing....including retirement;)
Holy crap! I didn't know this existed! Thanks! - Stinky
I have been looking for this for YEARS! thank you!
