TuNesDay: Non Xmas, Xmas Tunes

The Waters Wake Up Call with Mike Waters · Tue Dec 5, 2023

Hey waters here from the waters wake-up call earlier this tunes day morning I thought we got a pretty good list of the non Christmas Christmas tunes Do you have a non Christmas Christmas tune jumping jack flash how is that a not Christmas Christmas tune Jack Frost jump well that would be jumping jack Frost

there you go

What in the lyrics evokes the Christmas spirit from Jump and Jack Flash?

It's

all right now.

In fact, it's a gas.

That sounds like Christmas morning to me.

Especially if you have gas heat, you'd be turning that up on a Christmas day.

I was raised by a toothless bearded hag.

I don't know if that applies.

I was crowned with a spike right through my head.

That could be a King Wenceslas or something.

Thank you.

So Rolling Stones, yeah, yeah, sure.

I'll write it on the list and then I'll erase it a little bit so it'll still be there but very faded.

Yeah, this is Popcorn.

You're wanting some non-crystallization.

Yes, Popcorn.

How about Dan Fogelberg, Sam Holdings.

That works, doesn't it?

That's not a Christmas tune.

It's a non-Christmas Christmas tune.

It

evokes the spirit for sure.

Ah,

yes.

Ah, yes.

All right, thanks popcorn.

Okay.

All right, man.

Thank you.

Hi, KOKZ.

Hey, how you doing, Mike?

How you

doing?

I'm doing good, man.

I got one of them that was non-Christmas.

Yeah?

I don't know if you have it, but it's a great big star or story, whatever you want to call it.

Well, really, it's more of a comedy bit, but I know what you're talking about.

Because that is...

Christmas.

Yep.

It is.

It's very non Christmas.

But I think alcohol works.

That's a that brings a lot of Christmas spirit to a lot of a lot of people.

I used to run over the road semi and this time of the year I'd hear it all over the

nation.

I'd say a non Christmas Christmas song is home sweet home.

Oh yeah.

Yeah.

Motley crew.

Yeah.

Cause everybody goes home for the holiday.

Yep.

I'll be home sweet home for Christmas.

Yeah.

See, that's a good one right there, although I don't think of Motley Crew as Christmasy.

You

know, I was just thinking about Tommy Lee, and he put out a tape once, and they're kind of a Motley Crew, if you know what I mean.

They are a Motley

Crew.

Yeah.

That is a perfect example of a non-Christmas-Christmas tune.

Alright.

You

know that that kind of does have a little bit of a Christmassy feel to it.

Normally you think Christmas carols being played on the piano.

If you think about it.

It could be Billy Joel who's sitting there at the piano singing about the lonely people who come into his lounge on Christmas and they're just drinking and they've got nobody.

Exactly.

Yeah.

They need the piano, man, to cheer him

up.

There you go.

I want you to picture this.

Okay, what am I picturing?

Jack Ross with the flags on his US flags on his sled and his reindeer surfing in the USA.

What?

I'm not quite sure.

I'm catching.

Catching that, are you saying Surfing USA is a non-Christmas Christmas tune?

I guess they're kind of windsurfing.

Like I've been doing for others, what I'll do is I'm gonna write Surfin' USA on our non-Christmas Christmas tunes list, and then I'm going to erase it a little bit so it'll be very faded.

How about that?

Okay, well

I'll think about it, you think about it, and we'll meet back here in four hours.

Let's take another one.

Hello?

Hey,

you're sounding a little gruff there with the voice today.

Yes, I do.

I kind of got maybe a little Kermit.

You've got, you've got Muppet Fever is what you have.

Hey, you know this non Christmas.

up you are talking about

yes

I was thinking spilled the wine

yeah

and then as I'm spilling the wine I think of the lady in the red dress

maybe because so much wine has been spilled upon it is that what you're thinking

yes I'm thinking one of those two I don't know what do you think

all kinds of wine is being consumed as well as spilled at Christmas so does kind of evoke the spirit of

Christmas

Yes!

Okay, well it's on the list if you promise me one thing.

Yes,

sir, yes,

sir.

You'll go to a muppetologist and see what's going on with that voice of yours.

Well, that happens every once in a while when you wake up early in the morning.

Yes, yes, you sound like one of those old jazz or blues musicians.

Oh, yeah baby.

Miles Davis or somebody.

See, now we're getting there.

Weekday mornings, 5.30 to

10.
