Here's the obligatory Go-Fi holiday post:
"Groovy Christmas" - the Tropics
Despite the lyrics, I'm fairly certain these guys didn't have a clue about running in the snow. They were from Florida. I lived in Florida for 26 years and saw snow flurries twice.
"Merry Christmas" - Frank Cosmos
This is one of the few Jamaican ska tracks to feature an electric piano. It fits perfectly, though. Love the harmonica solo too.
Speaking of Jamaican Christmas tracks, I love this one:
"I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" - Johnny Clarke
And yes, there is a "Santa Claus Dub" out there somewhere.
I'll leave you with a slightly less joyful take on the season:
"In the Hot Sun of a Christmas Day" - Caetano Veloso
