"Christmas Singles," Erik Voeks (Parasol)

This 2000 song has a Jimi Hendrix-sounding instrumental backing leading into the vocal, an original Christmas song that hits a number of pop-culture landmarks, from the title item to the TV weather girl and not failing to mention the annual airing of "It's a Wonderful Life." Nice work. Later became the title song of a Parasol Records compilation, which you can download from Amazon by clicking on the single sleeve art at right. Flip side is a demo of "The Cruel Tide," which doesn't seem to be particularly holiday oriented even though it's on Parasol's Stuck in the Chimney Christmas compilation.
