Here It Is Christmastime (From âThe Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Specialâ) (youtube.com)

Okay, I know I said that was the last of the Christmas toons, but this one was too good to wait for next year.
A classic forgotten Paul Mccartney tune. The middle of the song drags on a bit, but the intro and outro are good.

Having made that lame joke, I remember long ago one of the band members saying this song was originally titled âTime For Me To Die.â It was supposed to be a suicide song but the corporates thought that was too dark and depressing.
And if those were too laid back for you, hereâs a version thatâs a bit more metal from Gary Hoey:
never mind one of you all already link that one
Frank Zappa - Iâm The Slime lol love that one
Something from the current list.
