wonderful christmas time by the bandana splits

so, i love me some bandana splits. they're adorable, you know? i've yet to hear a song of theirs, cover or original, in which i thought, "this sucks." instead, it's more along the lines of, "must put on repeat immediately--oh wait, i love this one, too, maybe that ought to be on repeat now, instead . . ."

anyway, the point is, i'm going to admit something that may make a number of you cease reading my music blog (although i hope not). i am not the biggest fan of the beatles. i know, peeps. I KNOW. this is sacrilege. i get that they're master musicians who radically altered the face of music forever and can even today, even now, be found in most of the music produced. i appreciate that they were innovators and talented and all that, but for some bizarre ass reason, i've never been instantly attracted to their music in the way that i am others. i like it when i hear it, but i do not seek it out (much to the amazement of the husband, who often reminds me that without the beatles, most of the singer-songwriters i love would not be who they are).

I GET IT, FRIENDS. there is no need to try to convince me of something i already understand.

how does this tie to the bandana splits, you ask? well, as i've stated before, i am a christmas music junkie. love the stuff. but there are some christmas songs that don't do it for me. john lennon's war is over (yes, i get that was after the beatles) and paul mccartney's wonderful christmas time (also post-beatles) are not my favorites.

HOWEVER. the bandana splits did a cover of wonderful christmas time, and guess what? OF COURSE I LOVE IT NOW.


i am a contrary creature at times.

so, go forth and download this song for your holiday playlists. if you love wonderful christmas time, you'll find this version retro-y fun. if you didn't like it (there have to be others, right? RIGHT? am i alone in my feelings?), then i bet you (um, nothing. i'm broke from buying toys for three kids) that you're gonna dig this one.
