A shout out to the Pop Kids: I’m in the process of producing a little ‘Home For The Holidaze’-type music show for Christmas and am wondering if there are any DFW bands out there who have any holiday tunes that would fit a triple-A format? These songs can be covers of traditional holiday tunes, or originals – free of the f-bomb or any of the six other naughty words on George Carlin’s list, natch – but songs that reflect the range of emotions and many moods that come with the onslaught of the holiday season, and maybe with a bit of a North Texas twang. And while we’re at it, what are your favorites? Here’s a sampling of some of what you might hear:

MATT POND, PA – “Holiday Road”

LOUIS XIV – “This Christmas”

THE FALL – “(We Wish You) A Protein Christmas”

ASOBI SEKU – “Merry Christmas (I Don’t Wanna Fight Tonight)”

THE RAMONES – “Danny Says”

THE RAMONAS – “Santa’s Got A GTO”

THE VENTURES – “Snowflake”

AIMEE MANN – “Calling On Mary”

LEMMY, DAVE GROHL & BILLY GIBBONS – “Run, Rudolph, Run”

THE RAVEONETTES – “The Christmas Song”

RIDE – “Like A Snowflake”

THE DECEMBERISTS – “Please, Daddy (Don’t Get Drunk This Christmas)”

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS – “Feast of Lights”

THE KINKS – “Father Christmas”

Suggestions for any other fave-rave holiday tracks are welcomed and appreciated. Thank you, thank you, thank you…
