Bring this tale to a very happy ending
As a special holiday treat, Fountains of Wayne are providing three MP3s to download, including "I Want an Alien for Christmas", the best Christmas song since The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl’s "Fairytale of New York". I mean, how can you resist a song where the chorus goes like this:
I want an alien for Christmas
Bring me an alien this year
I want a little green guy
About three feet high
With seventeen eyes
Who knows how to fly
I want an alien for Christmas this year
Come to think of it, how can you resist a Christmas song like the Pogues’ one that contains the immortal lines "You scumbag / You maggot / You cheap lousy faggot". It amazes (and pleases) me no end that that tune has become a Christmas staple. Ah, the Christmas spirit....
Merry Christmas, everyone.
