Sia's Christmas earworm
I debated whether or not to use Sia’s 2017 Christmas album Everyday Is Christmas for the listening café but I found a lot of the songs quite sad to me this year, so not now.1 It’s a fantastic album and this song is the big highlight. I can’t find any information about it being released as a single but I’m pretty sure it was. It’s bouncy and just plain fun.
It has the cutest video. All the videos from the album connect in a continuing story using the same Claymation technique. This video is the first in the sequence, Ho Ho Ho continues the story and Under the Mistletoe2 completes it. It features a Sia avatar, a faithful dog, and a snow monster.
You’re going to see a few of these in the run up to Christmas. Here’s the master Tom BetGeorge using it in his 2020 Christmas display.
Enjoy your song of the day!
There’s sad stuff coming - I’ll be highlighting some of my parent’s favourites, and with my dad gone and my mom with no memory, listening to them always makes me cry.
One of the sad songs for me on this album. You may feel different.
