Omo, na dat time of year wey dem go dey burst our ear with all this Christmas music wey fit make person vex! Some songs be like say dem dey wish make Christmas no come.
First on the table be Bob Dylan wey drop im own Christmas album for 2009 wey dem dey call ‘Christmas In The Heart’. E get one song wey e dey sing, na ‘Must Be Santa’ – this song na like polka vibe wey go make you dey wonder if winter don turn dance floor.
As Stephen Thompson talk am, dat song fit make person dey giri-giri if you no careful, but some people still dey jam am because e get that lively spirit wey dey catch you for Christmas. But, no be all songs dey sweet for ear o!
Next, we go talk about ‘I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas’ from one small girl wey dem call Gayla Peevey. Na 1953 song wey fit scatter your brain well-well. Dats one if you carry am go your mama side, she go fit feel like slap you as she hear am! But na wah, some youths dey jam am like say dem no get wahala. Wetin we go do?
Mai mama dey always talk, “Abeg, no let pikin sing ‘Nuttin for Christmas’ in my house o! If dem hear am, e go spoil my December.’” No lie, if you listen am too much, e fit cause wahala. So, why we still dey play these kind songs wey fit make ears dey ache?
But Stephen no stop there! E mention ‘Santa Baby’ – if you be fan of Madonna, this one go make you wan cry. Some people say the song dey sweet, but e dey too much sometimes, na like say dem dey beg Santa to deliver the whole of the North Pole for house. No vex! Some no go like am o!
Now, let me tell you true gist: Christmas songs wey dey play for radio na like ancient relic. We go dey hear Nat King Cole and Bing Crosby wey don pass way since, them dey reign supreme like dem no get plans to retire. Na so dem dey use remix and cover am come dey push for airwaves, but original new songs? Abeg, where them dey?
Cus all we go dey hear from Amazon na new tunes wey dey follow old vibes. E be like say we no fit escape the darkness of ‘Santa Baby’ wey dey always crawl back every season. Talk to me, how many original songs go survive this Christmas?
Omo, if you no hear these songs wey dey make some people raise eyebrow, then you dey miss serious drama! But no worry, Christmas no dey complete without the highs and lows of this holiday music wahala. You go see some gingers, some cracks, some cringe vibes, and sometimes pure joy!
So as we dey approach the Christmas period, just make you prepare your heart for this mix of sweet and bitter. Some songs go tickle your belly, while others go make you just look up to heaven and say, ‘Abeg, I no fit hear this one again.’ Merry Christmas and make you enjoy wetin dey dey, o!
