1:
Christmas…on a Sunday afternoon
Feelin’…the turkey may be gone soon

2:
All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere, it’s Chrismas Eve
Listen, please listen that’s the way it should be
Peace in the valley, get a big Christmas tree

3:
1…2…3…
Good Gifts (gimme those good good gifts)
Good Gifts (all I need are gifts)
Good Gifts (good good gifts now baby)
Good Gifts!

It isn't my most recent, but it's still the funniest. And Jason speaks the truth about the announcement "coming soon" -- I won't spoil it, but let me be the first to tell you that you should mark January 1 on your calendar.

Announcement about jefitoblog coming soon? Where have I heard that before? I might have to add that to the list of things that are hardly ever true... e.g. check's in the mail, i promise not to come in your mouth, and Neil Young's archive release date is just around the corner. Really though, it would be great to see Jeff back to blogging. I'm still an idiot, and I need much guidance. The song sucks, but at least Felix is collecting royalties (pitifully small though they may be, at least for this song) in exchange for his moment of shame. I'd like to see Jeff post his most recent royalty statement... Then, you'd probably be regarded with the awe which you surely deserve. And Jeff still has his soul too. I can hardly stand the tension... what horror of Mellowmas awaits us tomorrow? May Jason’s server remain ever reliable.

No, it really wasn't). It sucked pretty bad. This one sucks worse. Perhaps that can be the theme for Mellowmas 2008 -- 25 days of mellow "Doin' the Nasty on Christmas" songs. Might even get Starland Vocal Band back together. "Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight, gonna find some Christmas day delight." Maybe with lines about stuffing stockings or sliding logs in the fire, or whatever else Jason did with Jeff's mom. Any takers?

I haven't slept in two years. How about that? Does that work? No? Yeah, I didn't think so. This is one of those things I'm sure I knew at one point, or maybe not, and I'm just telling myself that to stave off deep, crashing waves of shame. Either way, this song sucks balloon knot and you all know it. What’s my excuse? I haven’t slept in two years. How about that? Does that work? No? Yeah, I didn’t think so.

(God knows what they used to lure Ronnie Spector into joining in, but I bet it was enticing. And controlled.)

Felix and John Sebastian can beat each other senseless with hippy-dippy platitudes about being lazy bums in the park or some shit like that.

I just fake it. I don't know what Jeff's excuse is, and even worse, he's the one who picked this song in the first place. Muddy, is that a question or wishful thinking? Jeff and I have different web hosts. Mine is apparently a tad more reputable than Jeff's. Stay tuned, though...a Jefitoblog-related announcement should be coming soon.

I can't believe you self proclaimed musical heavyweights claim to have never heard of him. He was great. This is a weak song with a simple hook, but that makes it perfect for lulling shoppers into heedless spending. I'm all for any song that will help crowd Carol Of The Bells out of Christmas playlists. Why is it that Jason doesn't have the recurrent server problems that gave Jeff the rationalization he needed to deprive the world of the much enjoyed jefitoblog? I'm just sayin' Felix was the singer for The Young Rascals. I can’t believe you self proclaimed musical heavyweights claim to have never heard of him. He was great.
