Lightbulb moments in music


Recommended Posts

Trying to stay warm in my freezing drafty cracker house so I was baking and listening to a Sonics record. The song "Santa Claus" was playing and I noticed there are 8 "nothings" in it. Lyrics below. Not too difficult to imagine this song may have drifted past JT at some point and planted a seed.

 

 

Yeah Santa Claus Where have you been? I've been waiting here Just to let you in Yeah Santa Claus What you got on your back? Is there something for me inside that sack?

I want a brand new car

A twangy guitar

A cute little honey

And lots of money

Santa Claus

Won't you tell me please?

What you gonna put under my Christmas tree?

And he just said

Nothin' nothin' nothin' nothin'

Nothin' nothin' nothin' nothin'

Yeah Santa Claus

I've been waitin' oh so long

Now don't you, don't you do me wrong

I want a brand new car A twangy guitar A cute little honey And lots of money Santa Claus Oh won't you tell me please? What you gonna put under my Christmas tree?

And he just said Nothin' nothin' nothin' nothin' Nothin' nothin' nothin' nothin'

Oh no Oh no no no Nothin' for Christmas No Oh no I got nothin' for Christmas No no Oh no I get nothin' at Christmas time
