Noel Auditeers! In lieu of a sterile, mass-produced Christmas card, I have decided resurrect an old Yuletide chestnut and give it a 2004 facelift. Consider this an audio holiday greeting. You can download it at http://www.carramps.com/santa_claus_is.mp3 This was originally written by my friend Craig Pearman (Yellow Pills 3!) and I (I may not have written any of it, but I did write the new 2nd verse today!) in the back of Mrs. Bray's drama class around December, 1978. This mega-hit is now being released under the name of my new side-project (which formed, recorded and broke up this afterneoon) called HONEY BUNCHES OF GOATS. Track info: HONEY BUNCHES OF GOATS Santa Claus is Dead (Nicholson / Pearman) ©1978-2004 All noises by Mike Nicholson Recorded 12-17-04 9am-10:15am Enjoy and feel free to comment on the rock... and yeah, the second verse is a little sloppy and out of time. Santa Claus is dead I shot him in the head I thought he was a rapist Trying to get into my bed Santa Claus is dead His beard is bloody red Now he's blown away So there's nothing left to say Santa Claus is dead I shot him in the head I thought he was a rapist Trying to get into my bed Then I saw Rudolph On the roof Pulled out my gun And shot him in the hoof!
