I love Aimee Mann, but thought it a little odd that she put out a holiday album. She doesn't come across as being the celebratory sort (though she does cover "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch"). But nothing, and I mean nothing, tops this!
Idol has completely missed the novelty of this. Billy went traditional, but he could have gone all Weird Al on us - and probably it would have been with better results. Why oh why did he not go with doing 'White Christmas' to the tune of 'White Wedding'???? I'm telling you - it would have assured radio airplay!!!!!
Another horrible marketing snafu? Release date is 12/15.
WTF? Who the hell is buying this ten days or less prior to xmas? But really - who is buying this album at all??? I means, besides the people who subscribe to Mr. Idol's fanzines.
I took the liberty of doing a quick draft of how it could have been:
Hey little Santa what have you done?
Hey little Santa are you the only one?
Hey little Santa you fly like superman
I have been good for so long (so long)
I've been so good for so long (so long)
It's a nice day for a White Christmas!!!
It's a nice day to......open gifts!!!!
It's a nice day for a White Christmas!!!
Clearly I didn't put a lot of thought into it - and yet I still put too much.

Or Rebel Yell = Jingle Bell?
"Dancin' with my Elf"
