Surprised Santa
Is it just me, or is that an extra creepy Santa on the cover of this LP? I don't know why it looks as if his eyes are about to pop out of his head, but I suspect it's because he's been watching you sleep for too many hours in a row. Anyhow, if you need a few more Christmas stories in your stocking, this rerun from 2010 is for you. They're, ummm, interesting... This is Christmastime Stories As Written By Marie White And Told By Santa Claus Featuring The Michelle Scott Singers (Chiodo/Scott DM-761, Stereo, 1976).
1. The Puppy Who Wanted A Boy For Christmas
2. Santa's Secretary
3. Just To See Santa Come
4. Harry, The Christmas Turkey (By Fair Means Or Fowl)
5. The Day Santa Was Arrested

underneath those whiskers, that’s the gerber baby! take a look. gerber may say that babies are their only business (although they keep trying to sell me life insurance… go figure), but the little tyke seems to have taken a side job. it could just be one of those old plastic dolls that opened and shut their eyes. in either case, like you said, creepy.
ReplyDeleteand when you put a notion in my head, it doesn’t take much to get me started. (some of you may have noticed, i’m sort of creepy myself.) there’s lots of disturbing stuff about this record. take marie white. she has a face like a clenched fist. did you ever hear of a smile, babe? she claims to have been “delighting children and adults for many years”, but she scares the pants off of me. i think she scared the pants off santa claus too; for one of her stories is called “just to see santa come”, and then just below it is another called “the day santa was arrested”!! creepies!!! and couldn’t they spring for a couple of kids instead of trying to pass off sped-up adult voices as children? master ross never made that mistake. witch doctors, rodents, purple aliens, yes. urchins, no.
Barba, did you skip your meds again last night? We talked about this...
ReplyDeleteOh my. Crazy comments. Thank you for this re-run.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ernie, for pointing out this new download re-share.
ReplyDeleteI go out of town on Thursday, so on my "l o n g" journey, this will be nice to listen to. Plus, I have a couple of albums from Buster to listen to also.
Christmas in July is starting soon, but I think you said you don't participate in that. Shame...
DeleteWell, I have really only been aware of it or paid attention to it these last several years.
DeleteI can hardly wait to see what you offer, though, but I have never downloaded anything. I really do not have a reason why.
I have downloaded all 19 Best ofs and their 9 redos. Plus I have downloaded the 10-part second Best ofs. But I have never listened to them. I plan to, but have not so far. Oh, well...
Give 'em a listen. The collections are surprisingly interesting. The day-to-day collections can get tedious though.

ReplyDeleteHe is looking at some of those titles that were given to some of those songs. I know it is supposed to be a kiddie record, but I will listen carefully for any hidden meanings in the lyrics.
Like the titles for the tracks, 2, 3, and 5.
Just like a Disney animated film, there are things that go right over a kid's head, or used to, that supposedly only adults pick up. But kids are "so" old nowadays. I was, but that is a different story. I am having my childhood today.
Santa is a bit creepy here. And I wouldn't read too much into this one. I think it's just some cheap bit of fun.
DeleteWell, Ernie, this is an interesting collection of stories. No hidden meanings in the stories, too bad. They might have been more interesting, though, with them.
ReplyDeleteBe that as it may, I doubt this was made for the kiddie market. Or at least demented kiddies, possibly.
I don't know who else would have bought this.
