MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM WYLDLIFE




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!

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.)
