about

A seasonal update on herself's classic, "This is a Rebel Song." Of course it's all in fun, but both songs take a similar stance: that being open to tenderness is in itself a liberatory act.

Recorded expressly for (and debuted on) under the name Sinead On'Donner for the 32nd Annual Jon Solomon 25-Hour Christmas Marathon radio show on WPRB, 103.3fm, Princeton, New Jersey. #wprbxmas

And if you don't want to listen to the song, at least enjoy the image.

lyrics

I love you, anti-Christmas friend,
You're cheerful as a lump of coal.
Can't you forgive some harmless fun,
Have some egg nog, they're showing "Die Hard."

I know you have your soft spots too
Like when Mariah Carey comes on,
or Dominick the Donkey.
Don't be cold, anti-Christmas friend.

How come you've never stuffed the stockings
with presents for unboxing?
And you've never said "Merry Christmas" even once,
And I do?

Oh don't be such a Scrooge now, man.
What good will shouting "Bah Humbug!" do?
We wrote crude things in the frost on your car.
See you're laughing, I know you're weakness.

I'll let you sit out New Years, friend,
But there's carolers out in the park!
Let's go and practice heckling them,
and judge the lights, and decorations.

[OK, but I have one surprise for you first...]

Don't tell me YOU have hung these stockings!?

[who me?]

Who got this tree? It's truly shocking!

[must've been Santa]

Here's to a Christmas that is merry.
You're no Scrooge...
No Scrooge.

Every year some configuration of the same group of friends in Philly get together to record some songs to stave off the horror of winter. Usually we only share via Jon Solomon's WPRB Christmas marathon, but sometimes we go rogue.
