Music reviews of A John Waters Christmas
Music Review: Snarky yet in good fun!
Rating: 5 Stars
This is a marvelous collection of vintage kitch and holiday schmalz that pokes fun at the excesses of only just slightly different times--familiar sounding but often never before heard songs of such bad taste that they are delicious. The orphan talk-speak song is so over the top you can't imagine it wasn't done with tongue in cheek but i don't think it was. The other Tiny Tim is perfect for a holiday spin. Nobody sings better Xmas anthems than the Jews. And if a singing saw isn't the perfect instrument for a holiday song, well you can just call me your gay. But call me.
Description of A John Waters Christmas
These Christmas classics were hand picked by Waters himself: "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" by Tiny Tim, "Happy Birthday Jesus" by Little Cindy, "Sleigh Ride" by Alvin And The Chipmunks, "Here Comes Fatty Claus" by Rudolph And Gang, and "Santa Claus Is A Black Man" by AKIM & The Teddy Vann Production Company, to name a few.Baltimore's greatest filmmaker has demonstrated a deep appreciation for that very American crossroads of kitsch and sensationalism since the late '60s, at least. Of course, quirky Christmas anthologies abound already - the three best probably being Christmas Party With Eddie G, American Song-Poem Christmas, and Where Will You Be Christmas Day. But the songs on A John Waters Xmas are novelty songs for the true connoisseur, including recordings so saccharine and horrifying you wonder how the engineers did not run from the booth screaming; "Happy Birthday Jesus" by the precocious Little Cindy is likely the scariest thing you will ever hear in your life. Not everything is so "Outsider"-y and thrift store score; there's the rocking, funny "Fat Daddy" by Fat Daddy, a delightful song by the Coctails with the singing saw as the lead instrument, and a gorgeous obscure doo-wop number called "Christmas Time Is Coming (A Street Carol)" by Stormy Weather. --Mike McGonigal
