Song Contest Part XXIV, Host: Chipmunk, Theme: Kris Kringle, Votes Due: Sunday 10pm AEDT

[Chipmunk]

I have actually attended Mexican transvestite wrestling where the aim is to get the strap on in the opponents mouth. Highly amusing.

That was my second choice of theme.

 

[MP_]

That was my second choice of theme.

That wouldn’t suprise me given I saw you at the last event with mask in hand.

Now, first up ... it's a gift for 1990crow !

And the nommer has provided this lovely gift, it's Potion by Djo . A lovely gift!



Next up, we have a present for BFew !

And look here, they've received a gift from Man-Made Sunshine, called I Have More Than One Soul . The nommer did not say how many souls they have.



And rummaging around, I also have something for Callums_Guns ... they have a song by DJ Haram, callled Loneliness Epidemic. The tag says 'May it bring you joy.' . Lovely.

 

[Ocha905]

Anyone listen to the single from the upcoming Flea solo album? It's way better than I expected.

"If I'm the Best"? Was unexpected which is a good sign. Undecided if I like it or not either but at least that means it's interesting.

Next up ... it's me! And the tag says 'I noticed that you've nommed Darren Hayes a few times so here's a duet with Delta'. I've seen both acts live so that is quite the shrewd pick. It's Darren Hayes & Delta Goodrem - Lost Without You.



The next nommer has provided a poem! And it's for Dont_be_a_Plonka ! Let's see what it says, with ThxSoMch - SPIT IN MY FACE!:

A song and a poem for Wonka,
He who doesn't like poems,
What an absolute plonka



And we have something for eth-dog next up, this song has been described as 'A beautiful masterpiece which reflects your love for timeless, heartfelt music from the likes of George Harrison.' . It's George Harrison - Isn't It A Pity (Version 2).

We are well on our way now, with a gift for Fossie 32 . The message says 'Merry Xmas Fos, I hope you enjoy this present, it’s one of my favourites from that era.' . It is a 50s classic, that's for sure, it's The Coasters with Yakety Yak!



Next up, a gift for Hydatina Physis , by Third Eye Blind called Semi-Charmed Life And here's what the nommer has to say:

Merry Christmas Hydatina Physis . I hope you appreciate this personal and nostalgic gift. The artist name is a nod to your original username (AuntyBLINDEYE). The title — and, more importantly, the song’s content — reflects your early time in the SFA. This period was fun, energetic, and exciting on an individual level, but also chaotic and difficult on both a league and team level. The drug/addiction references are also very Las Vegas Bears. There were many “goodbyes”, but thankfully, you always returned.





And we have a nom for JHF1870 - which is by Meg Myers, called The Underground. The nommer has told me this is a video message:

Chipmunk I don't know what time zone you are in at the moment.

It's now a gift for Loonerty ! And the message says 'I hope this gives you good memories of their concert. Merry Christmas.' It's The Last Dinner Party and Second Best.



And moving to Lunchlady Doris , we have the following:

For LLD - whose music is often in my top 5.
This is kind of like a R.L KK..not what you would have gotten for yourself, and hard to know if you'll like it, but one of my current favorite tracks for driving. Hope you enjoy it.

It's Israel Nash, with Willow




... and for MP_ , we have a card saying 'Have you heard the news MP_ , I've got boogie woogie shoes' . Will it get you moving? It's Turbonegro, and Hot For Nietzsche

For MWPP , the nommer has messaged to say that they hope that you enjoy this masterpiece by Beth Orton, called She Cries Your Name



... and for myblueroan , they clearly think you are an 'It Girl' , which is the name of the song by The Brian Jonestown Massacre



For Ocha905 , the nommer has provided the following with MALAMENTE by ROSALIA:

I was saving this for myself, but I can't pass up gifting you a Latin (or Flamenco in this case) banga. I may be a campaigner, but I'm not a ****ing campaigner.

They say a picture says a thousand words, and the nommer has provided por_please_ya with a picture, accompanied with Stevie Wright - Evie (Let Your Hair Hang Down) (part 1):






The next gift is for Riviat , and I have been told 'This is absolutely, definitely, most certainly not a regifted gift.' It's , God Is An Astronaut, and All Is Violent, All Is Bright:



... and one now for spinynorman , by Patrick Cowley ft Sylvester, called Menergy. The message says: 'I hope "Menergy" brings back memories of you dancing (or whatever else lol) the night away. Thanks for being an awesome Song Contestant!'

Moving onto spudmaster , the nommer initially was unsure but embraced the challenge:

So I got spud.



As spud so desperately wanted a Christmas theme, here's the song that never fails to have family and friends demand for it to be turned off when it comes up on my Christmas playlist. I think spud'll love it.

They nommed Spike Jone & His City Slickers , and All I Want For Christmas (Is My Two Front Teeth)




The next present is for Tigerat2020 , and the nommer said: 'Who doesn't love a puppy.....ENJOY. Merry Christmas!' with Charlotte Cardin and Puppy




... and for TubbsFarquhar , we have Charlotte Gainsbourg and Hey Joe. The nommer said:

Hi Tubbs On behalf of all the band, Happy Christmas, Best Wishes for the New Year and thank you for another fun year in the Song Contest

Different Flea. The one from RHCP.

 

[Loonerty]

Really no surprise for me. The listening age was also only one year off, which seems good compared to some friends.
Also the minutes listened is inflated because I put podcasts on when I go to sleep.
