"Yellin' at the Xmas Tree" - Billy Idol

by Max on Wed 16 Dec 2009 12:29 PM PST | Permanent Link

Did you know Billy Idol put a new album out in 2005? Well, OK, maybe you did. I had no idea. In any case, when our favorite little blond English punker from the 80s put out Devil's Playground, he included this festive yuletide ditty about that most heralded of holiday traditions - the obnoxious, alcoholic family patriarch!

Hear "Yellin' at the Xmas Tree" on YouTube.

This is part of a week-long series on anti-Christmas songs.

Introduction

Some of my online cohorts at the Songfight community decided to create blogs to highlight songs they like. I am now doing it as well, because I am a total lemming.

Songfight is a weekly songwriting competition based on titles provided by the site's administrators. I post there under the handle "Albatross." Go check it out. It's a gas.

My Own Noise

Can't sing my way out of a wet paper bag, but I play a few instruments with varying degrees of proficiency. As such, sometimes I record my own music. You can hear it here.

Latest song: "Take Five" (Dave Brubeck Quartet cover)
