If you like Devo, Mark Mothersbaugh did an album called Joyeux Mutato.
Also not Christmas technically, but it’s a good time of year to make a playlist of all your favorite music from video game ice worlds.

Oh yeah. I would be remiss not to toss in a KPop Xmas song. Most of them are sappy ballad types that I’m not into, but at least Crayon Pop provided this masterpiece.
I just decided I’m gonna bump Brenda Lee and John Lennon down to make room for Stevie in the 4 slot.

I could listen to this on repeat for hours, and I don’t even celebrate Christmas. This song gives me chills every time I listen to it:

Gravy recipes aren’t sad; they’re the opposite.
So Lizzie is indeed correct. There’s no gravy, so people aren’t happy.
Making a slight revision on my top 5, removing the waitresses with this one instead (forgot about it at the time).
