Greeting goons both far and near! Now is a wonderful time of year! A time to laugh, a time to cheer! A time to make other people sneer! Yes, it's the 2022 SOMETHING AWFUL CHRISTMAS MUSIC THREAD (I'll be taking direction from last year's OP since I covered pretty much everything in it. Also, Ernest is still the GOAT)  Yes, that's right; the moment Halloween ends, Awful Xmas season BEGINS! Here's a bit of a Q and A for those of you just joining us:  Q: What is this about? I've heard of it but never really looked into it. A: Since 2009, every year, goons both musical and not come together to create an entire album of both awful and awesome home-grown Christmas music!  Q: I don't have any instruments. A: I don't care! You can still join in! Collab with someone else! Do artwork! Come up with lyrics or song ideas! It's worked in the past! Hell, even posting ITT and cheering everyone on is a wonderful idea!  Q: Ok, so I made a thing, what do I do now? A: You upload it to Soundcloud or even google drive, but there are two important rules to this!  Rule 1: When you post your song, include the words Kristopher Kringle says hello in your post. It helps me separate the submissions from the 'oh man, this song was great!' reposts (which are fine, but I don't want to start downloading old songs) Rule 2: Speaking of downloading, MAKE SURE YOUR TRACK IS DOWNLOADABLE. This is extremely important! Every year, I take all of the tracks, compile them, order them, and then upload a zip file that gets shared around. I WILL be putting last year's and this year's album up on my site.  Q: Where can I listen to older tracks? A: https://saxmas.bandcamp.com/ and also my personal site, https://saxmas.robotcousin.com/ (yes, I need to also put 2017-2021 (holy poo poo) up, I'll get to it).  Q: Does this have anything to do with Ernest? A: No, I just love Jim Varney  THE DUE DATE IS THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT IN YOUR CHOSEN TIME ZONE, DECEMBER 21st 2021 Also... If you all could provide FLAC files from the get-go, that really, REALLY helps later on, as I convert them. So get to it, goons! It is my favourite time of year, sort of partially maybe because of you all. Also, sometimes I tweet about this stuff, and I always use #awfulxmas so feel free to do the same, and we can be donned with gay apparel together. So, whether you can sing, edit, produce, or maybe you just art, it's fine! Just. Post. Your. Attempt. Merry Christmas, you maniacs. Edit: But wait, there's more! Flipperwaldt posted:Here are some links! Much thanks to current MVP Flipperwaldt! Fawf posted:It's done! I've uploaded the albums from 2020 and 2021 as well as the current version of 2014 to youtube.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Merry Christmas, you maniacs. Maniacs, indeed! I've been waiting for this thread! I've already started writing my annual Santa Odin track and I think this is going to be a good one. It'll be a challenge to voice, but it should be quite fun. I had a flash of a musical idea some time ago, but it's gone, probably for the best. If I can find a collaborator who can create music, though, I can probably come up with a non-parody track idea or two. EDIT: I've already got an idea for music: Kirk's Red Wreath. All I have so far is this. pre:He’s showing everybody his big red O And the people are saying “ho, ho, ho” ManiacClown fucked around with this message at 06:00 on Nov 2, 2022 |

Kristopher Kringle says hello Real Holiday Hero https://soundcloud.com/genghis-don/real-holiday-hero This is going to be a rough month so I got this ready in advance and had to call it good enough. Goon songs always get me through the rough times though, so here's hoping for a good season for all of us. Honestly, I'm not sure more time in the oven could have saved this turkey.

All right, I've got at least a rough version of my song's lyrics done. Who among you would collaborate with me by making the music of it? I can hear how I imagine it in my head, but I need help getting that out to be audible.Kirk's Red Wreath posted:There’s a man I’m sure that you all know

Mumpy Puffinz posted:no, Ive been here nearly as long as you (I was referring specifically to these threads, not SA in general) Well, for the past... however many years, the Awful Xmas Music thread starts as soon as Halloween is over. It's so more people have more time to work on more music (if they want, of course). That way, when Dec 21st rolls around, we end up with a massive collection of tracks, all set for Christmas itself. And I'd take any of these goons and any of their songs over the poo poo that gets played traditionally and commercially. THAT poo poo starts almost as soon, so this feels like a wonderful antithesis to that. Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Nov 7, 2022 |

Well, my wife tested positive for COVID Wednesday so it was all but inevitable that I'd get it. I think once it does a number on my voice (assuming it does) I'll let the phleghmy throat carry me through a stream-of-consciousness Christmas track that someone can set to music. Yay, pestilence!

These are always entertaining, and who knows I might get off my rear end and participate again. Probably not. I think 2009 was the last time I submitted.

I think you should both submit something. You have to realize that the 'bad' (more like 'inexperienced') tracks can be just as entertaining as the 'good' ones. The more the jollier, and it IS the season for that.
