“Christmas comes this time each year” is the Platonic ideal pop lyric: catchy, rhythmic, utterly inane
One tragic side effect of the decline of hobbies is the loss of rock bands formed around a shared interest. The Beach Boys took any tune and asked, "How can we make this about surfing or drag racing?" Little Saint Nick is just a song about a guy working on his car
