The Sound of Music




The holidaze is here.  You can see it in the glassy eyed look in people’s eyes. The sticker shocked expression on their faces and the nervous twitchy fingers from pulling out their credit cards multiple times a day.  Yes the season is in full bloom with 24 hours a day of Christmas music. 

The top selling Christmas album of the past ten years is by Kenny G.  No wonder I’m so depressed at this time of year. I am always stunned that the music business has only figured out how to capitalize on one holiday of the year……Christmas. 

There are lots of other holidays through out the year and I would have thought that some greedy, fast-talking record sleazebag would have come up with a way to sell more crappy music to the masses by now.  Of course most of the big record labels are still trying to understand that new fangled technology known as the internet. A lot of the boneheads who run the music business are still listening to 8-track tapes if that gives you any indications of just how creative they are.  

Anyway after many hours of research I have compiled a list of songs for every holiday.  As you can see Christmas is the champ.

New Years……….  1 song…   One Kiss Led To Another

Valentine Day  ….1 song…   Roses Are Red

St. Patricks Day… 3 songs   There’s A Tear In My Beer…. Beer Drinkin’ Song…  Pop A Top

Memorial Day……. 1 song….  War (What’s It Good For)

Fourth Of July……. 1 song….  Born In The U.S.A

Labor Day………….. 1 song….  Having My Baby

Halloween………….. 1 song….  Monster Mash

Thanksgiving……….1 song…  Thank God and Greyhound, She’s Gone.


Christmas…………….15 songs an hour, 24 hours of the day, for 45 days on every radio station and every mall or store in the USA.



Stay tuned for future adventures.
