Another yuletide release from Sympathy, by another band fronted by a Lisa, but this time it's Lisa Marr (also in Cub, The Beards [with Kim from the Muffs, not the Australian band] and The Lisa Marr Experiment). And once again, as with the Candypants' "The Happiest Time of the Year", the title track is about heart break on Christmas. It features Dave Philips on pedal steel and is worthy of a hoedown.
Next is a re-working of the Xmas classic "Santa Baby" with new lyrics in which Lisa requests a Fender, a new roadcase, a platinum record (or two) and some speed for Xmas, amongst other things.
Finally on the B-side there's a punked up version of "Father Christmas" from the 1970s musical film "Scrooge" with guitarist Pepper Berry on vocals.
