Today's Song: Yuleman vs. the Anti-Claus by The Bobs

The Bobs have released at least two cds in the last few years that I haven't bothered to pick up yet. But when it comes to delightfully wacky Christmas music, their cd Too Many Santas scores quite high. My favorite song from that cd is Yuleman vs. the Anti-Claus, a song about a hero who fights commercialism incarnate (The Anti-Claus, who lives at the South Pole, where on June 25th penguins sing "Leon the Last").

I can't link to a video for this song unfortunately (and why not, I wonder?) but you can find it on iTunes. Here's the lyrics:

Masters of this house I bring an animated novel
a Christmas comic all red and green
a wondrous tale to glorify the season
the most fantastic story that you've ever seen

Every June 25th at the south pole
Millions of penguins start to sing Leon, Leon the last
and all the armies of the season of swindle
plan a campaign to glorify greed

Following their leader - the Anti-Claus
they flock to the malls
turning sharing into selling, giving into getting
and caring into contempt
Only one thing stands in their way:

A superhero yet still a child
who believes in the spirit and the glory
an evergreen avenger in a suit of lights
come to life again on winter nights

It's Yuleman - Druid defender
Yuleman - from the pagan past
Yuleman - in ornamental armor
his limbs will lead the way

Yuleman fights the Anti-Claus
in the battle sparks will fly
Ring a bell on every corner
The Anti-Claus must die

His powers came from an accident
at the lighting of the city's tree
He was changing a bulb when they threw the switch
zapping him with electricity

It's Yuleman - Druid defender
Yuleman - from the pagan past
Yuleman - in ornamental armor
his limbs will lead the way

Yuleman fights the Anti-Claus
in the battle sparks will fly
Ring a bell on every corner
The Anti-Claus must die
