Sia's Christmas earworm

I heard this delightful tune in a store yesterday and decided to share again. (Being sick for over a week is part of it too.) I may look at talking about the whole album this year - stay tuned!

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. It’s a fantastic album and this song is the big highlight. It wasn’t officially released as a single but was picked up and played anyway. 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 Mistletoe 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!
