Santa Clause is Coming...
December 2nd. To me this is the weekend that it becomes acceptable to catch the Christmas season fever. So this month the blog will celebrate on and off with some of the best in Christmas music. While my musical tastes typically scream as traditional as I can find, that's not always the case with my holiday spirit.
This first song, while it is no where near new, there are so many out there that won't have heard of it. However, last year it was my now three-year-old's favorite song and, based off him singing it this morning, it is just an assumption that I will hear it yet another thousand times before the fat man comes calling.
"Santa Clause is Comin' In a Boogie Woogie Choo Choo Train", by The Tractors. The Tractors were a country rock band of the mid 1990s if you have forgotten them or were just to young to remember. They had a decent Christmas album in 1994 Have Yourself a Tractors Christmas that included the pre-mentioned song whih was a basic Santa re-make of "Baby Likes to Rock It", otherwise known as The Boogie Woogie Choo Choo Song. Born from the album The Tractors, the original version would receive a CMA award for Music Video of the Year and the 1995 Grammy for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.
So who needs Dasher and Dancer and Comet and Cupid and the rest of Santa's gang, when he's got himself a Boogie Woogie Choo Choo Train?
