UnTunes:So Sick (of Christmas songs)
So Sick the debut single by R&B singer Ebene-Yo. The song is about the heavy emotional angst a man endures from being subjected to omnipresent Christmas music. Ironically, it features a smooth instrumental that complements the midwinter season, as if to say, sure, we need music right now, but not that crap they're peddling. The music video was filmed in the isolated snowy mountains, assumed to symbolize the singer's state of depression and loneliness during the season. However, Ebene-Yo stated that he was actually pointing his fans to the one place on Earth were you can escape Christmas music.
Upon its release, it became an instant classic. It would go on to be so successful in conveying its message that you rarely even hear Christmas songs on the radio anymore.
Lyrics[edit | edit source]
- Mmmm mmm yeah
- Do do do do do do do-do
- Ohh Yeah
- Gotta plug my iPod in my ears
- When I go out tonight
- 'Cause right now all you'll hear
- Is saccharine seasonal trite.
- And I know it's uplifting
- When you walk around the store
- But it's the only thing I hear outside anymore.
- (It's ridiculous)
- It's been a month
- And for some reason they just
- (Won't stop playing fluff)
- How much longer of this?
- (Enough is enough)
- No more shopping 'round
- With earbuds out.
- I'm so over Chipmunk tunes
- And Elvis being blue
- And I'm so sick of Christmas songs
- So tired of cheer
- So done with Santa and his reindeer
- Said I'm so sick of Christmas songs
- Sleigh bells and snow
- So why can't they get off my radio?
- Lookin' at that calendar I have
- December the 15th
- And they've been playing this crap
- Since long before Thanksgiving
- I'm so fed up with these songs of Yule
- And their novelties
- And how every song reminds me
- I'm supposed to feel happy
- "'Tis the season..." I'm so sick of Christmas songs
- So tired of cheer
- It's the most horrible time of the year
- Said I'm so sick of Christmas songs
- Sleigh bells and snow
- Why are they even playing 'Let It Go'?
- (Leeeave me alone)
- Leave me alone
- (Hooooliday songs)
- Don't make me hear about the smiles,
- The heavenly Christ Child,
- Or Let It Go
- Turning off the radio!
- 'Cause I'm so sick of Christmas songs
- So tired of cheer
- So done with wishing for the new year
- Said I'm so sick of Christmas songs
- Sleigh bells and snow
- (Hey)
- Why can't they get off the radio?
- (Won't even turn on the radio.)
- Christmas should fuck off my radio.
- [sound of a radio being smashed by a sledgehammer]
