Flex's 25 Days of Christmas (Songs), Day 7: Skatune Network - What Do The Lonely Do at Christmas?



Original release: A Very Skatune Christmas
Year: 2020

The person behind Skatune put out a few ska covers on their youtube channel and made this little album. It's real fun stuff. Their more formal ska band, We Are The Union, will also be getting a look in this thread shortly.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Flex's 25 Days of Christmas (Songs), Day 8: We Are The Union - I'm Working Retail For Christmas



Original release: I'm Working Retail for Christmas digital single
Year: 2020

We Are The Union is one of the more prolific ska/pop-punk 4th (5th?) wave acts going now - they dropped a Halloween single earlier this year too - and here's their Christmas offering. Catchy and we can all feel the pain of the song, whether in our current or past lives. Nice and catchy too.

I think it's a song that has divided opinion as to it being a Christmas song or not. So it's open to debate but I suppose Christmas being a Christian festival of freedom and good will it's well suited. It's probably more likely to be heard at a funeral here in all honesty. Still either way it's a great song and I really like this version.
