"Christmas In Hollis," Run DMC (A&M)

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
rundmc.jpgThis Christmas tune by the historically significant Run DMC kicks off promisingly by sampling Clarence Carter's "Back Door Santa," then we're into a funny tune about finding Santa's wallet on the street in this Queens neighborhood. Great groove, ironic for the fact that this cut from A Very Special Christmas precedes Bon Jovi's plain vanilla cover of the Carter song on the same compilation. This tune has since turned up in a number of places other than the Special Olympics album, and a live version is on the live Special Christmas album as well. Or you can just download it by itself by clicking the album cover and visiting Amazon.
