The Sonics, most famous for their garage rock songs about psychos, witches and strychnine, recorded a number of Christmas songs during their career. "Santa Claus" and "Don't Believe in Christmas" being the most prominent of their Christmas repertoire. The former plays like a hopeful plea to Santa while the latter is an angrier response to Santa's absence. Rating: HOH OHO%

That Sonics album is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThe Xmas songs though, not so much.
I kinda like "Santa Claus." The distorted riff that kicks in near the beginning is pretty cool.
