about

Santa is our take on the beloved Santa Claus, portraying him as somewhat of an outlaw and a bandit. What better way to get our tale across than with some old school country rock 'n' roll, some do-wop backing vocals and some oohs a la the Four Seasons.

We recorded Santa in a live setting at the Icelandic Embassy Studios on Halloween 2015, with overdubs done the following week.

lyrics

Well I wrecked a chimney up there in Alaska,
and I smashed the sleigh into a Christmas tree
Left my dear old Rudolph in Nebraska
he was too drunk to fly the gifts to Milwaukee

Well I crashed into a church in Colorado
Running from the cops in Santa Fe
I’m wanted as the jolly desperado
From frosty Maine to sunny Monterey

They call me Santa that’s my name
Cruising cross the world in just one day
you will know me by the presents that I’ve strewn across your lawn
and the beer you had inside your fridge is gone
Have a merry Christmas carry on
