Almost every year, the Cruxshadows put out a free/donationware Christmas song. Goth Christmas carols. My favorite is 2014’s Light a Way (Back Home). But this year’s song, The Carol of the Innocents, is interesting and has some depth. I recommend reading the story behind it and then listening. (Also I really like when musicians post their thoughts about a song they made.)

Unrelated to the last post, this has been totally stuck in my head for a couple weeks. I looked up one of their big hits from the 90’s which was ok, nice nostalgia trip, but then found this which is much better. I did not know they did music like this, and I love it.
Damn it… now it’s stuck in my head. I can’t go one Christmas… 
Just took a walk in the falling fluffy snow.
It was lovely. 
help me
help me
i listened to a podcast about this song and why it’s charting on the Billboard charts, and is now the most popular video on youtube, and i can’t get it out of my head…
Could be worse…
“I love you
'coz you agree
we need to kill Barney
very slowly
with an axe and a torch, and trample him with a cow:
Barney’s taken his last bow.”
Okay!
I’ve yet to hear this jingle. And in no hurry to click that link.
I know the song, but never had it drilled into my head, so the Purple Dinosaur isn’t a trigger to me.
Not sure I know that one. I’ve only seen part of the movie while at a friend’s place and one of the grandkids had it on in the other room.
I win this round.
Your prize: a trip to Havana!
@PatRx2 for some reason, i’ve never found the Barney song to be that earwormy. it doesn’t have near the stickiness to me that that damn shark song does, anyway!
@nimelennar true confession: i’ve never seen this movie. i’m not even sure what part of this song is the earwormy part. is it the “do you want to build a snowman” part? i DO know the “let it go, let it gooooo!” part, so that’s earwormy, but it can’t hold a candle to these sharks!
TL;DR i’m doomed. 
CLICK AT YOUR DOOM
“Unca Pat! No strangle Barney!”
More a fan of Ipanema this time of year.
Yeah, but this might be more appropriate…
There’s only one way to fight that earworm. A tall glass of Cracklin’ Rosie.
I had to remind myself what that tune was. I should have known better! Gaaaaahhhh!!! The horror! The horror!
She went down in an airplane
Fried getting suntanned
Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand
I’m no good at goodbye
She met a shark in the water
Fell and no one caught her
I returned everything I ever bought her
I’m all out of lies
She got caught in a mudslide
Eaten by a lion
Got run over by a crappy purple Scion
I’m no good at goodbye
She dried up in the desert
Drowned in a hot tub
Danced to death at an East-side nightclub
I’m all out of lies
And ways to say you died.
this doesn’t help, i’m afraid. i LOVE neil diamond. that song is no torture to me.
