about

"I Listen To The Holiday Radio" was written after Connor listened to 40 new XMAS albums in a row for Rolling Stone. It is a plea for holiday radio stations to work harder at varying their playlists, and for recording artists to be more imaginative with their song selections if they are going to record new XMAS albums. But it is written from the point of view of a person who has been driven insane by listening to the same 11 songs in nearly identical versions, over and over.

lyrics

I listen to the holiday radio
Boom-boppa-boom-boppa-jingle-dee-jingly-jam
All the songs that they goin' to play for you
Rudolph-a, boo-dolph-a, coodle-ee-boodly-bam
You know just-a every word they sing
Fa-la-dee-dah-la-dee-dah-kristle-kringly-boo
Same songs that you always heard you go
Ooh kill me now KILL ME NOW cuz I heard em all

Same old songs
But with a different feeling when it last so long
And when there’s no way out
You start to lose your mind
And you can HARDLY WAIT TO DIE

I listen to the holiday radio
Ooh silent night silent night it’s a holy night
These songs will they ever go ‘way, I say
Ooh jingle jingle maybe this year they’re here to stay
I feel like I HATE THIS WORLD you know
Not much time left till the oceans rise OH BABY
Same songs well-a nothing matters now
Oh kringle kringle fucka fucka de-boom-dee-fuck

Same old songs
But with a different feeling when it last so long
And when there’s no way out
You change the channel now
But IT ALL SOUNDS JUST LIKE CHRISTMASTIME

Nothing left now but the holiday radio
Bom-boppa BOM bopper bopple-dee-boom-dee-rang
Here comes Santa in his holiday sleigh-dee-oh
Shang-drang-a-lang Dang-a-lang-itty-bing-dee-bop
I love the holiday radio
OHH-fuppa-OHH-fuppa-flippa-dee-flip-dee-floo
Don’t need no one to come here and save me oh
GOO GAGA GOO GAGA GOOBITY GOOBLY NEW YEAR
