So you see, I do like kids.
Brooklyn's own Wyldlife, one of my favorite new bands, have penned a future holiday classic. Not since Fountains Of Wayne's "I Want An Alien For Christmas" has a new Christmas tune sent my bells a' jingling. Rocking hard and keeping the hooks coming at a rapid pace, Wyldlife is best experienced live. But until you get that opportunity, enjoy this perfect combination of mirth and melancholy.
RUMPLE MINZE
(verse) Well my yule log is burning low
And my socks are filled with nothing but coal
I've been naughty but should I be alone?
Done her wrong but why, I'll never know.
She got fed up and left me this year
I got no reason for the holiday cheer
But with my 5th of eggnog and this case of beer
At least I got my spirits in tow
(Chorus) I'm Heart Struck! "Bah-Humbug" ain't quite strong enough.
I miss her madly, but sadly all I'll get's her tough love.
To be with her and her kisses: that's the one thing on my wish list
Might take a miracle, I'm begging still: Mr Claus,
Help me cross this off!
(verse) Black Friday was especially dark
All the boys and girls got their calendars marked
But I got mistletoe at the top
Of a picture of her face
The punks throwing snowballs can't hurt me no more
Can't find what I need at department stores
St. Nick, is it too much to implore
Can you wrap me up in her embrace?
I'm Heart Struck! "Bah-Humbug" ain't quite strong enough.
I miss her madly, but sadly all I'll get isher tough love.
To be with her and her kisses: that's the one thing on my wish list
Might take a miracle, I'm begging still: Mr Claus,
(Bridge) So Santa can't ya' grant this
Wish and make my christmas?
I believe in you, do you believe in me?
I'm Heart Struck! "Bah-Humbug" ain't quite strong enough.
I miss her madly, but sadly all I'll gets her tough love.
To be with her and her kisses: that's the one thing on my wish list
Might take a miracle, I'm begging still: Mr Claus,
Help me cross this off!

sal...kind words for a band that simply tries harder (and rocks hard, too)...but what do i know?
Wow. This is a very lovely Christmas gift. Thanks so much, Sal! (Also, none of us are from, or even live in Brooklyn. But Brooklyn is "real cool" so we'll take it as a compliment. We're a Jersey City/Purchase College hybrid.
I love the band. And I thought it said "Brooklyn" on your Facebook page. (Personally, these days, Purchase is cooler.)
