A Musical Advent, Day Two

Santariffic, Harry Connick Jr. and Lucien Barbarin, What A Night! A Christmas Album.  Please right-click and save if you want to listen. 

This is a very saucy piece if one listens closely.  We tend to think of Santa Claus as a sexless character, for oh so many reasons, but this song plays up his appeal on several levels, and it's great fun as well as unusual.  Apparently Mr. Connick wrote it, but it's Mr. Barbarin who takes the role of Santa, and his sly humor is spot-on. 

Far from slender/How lucky Mrs. Claus is  Hee! 

Everyone's got crushes/Someone call a copper
Everybody blushes/For the big show-stopper

It's a sort of mirror-view, in a way, but still very accurate.

Oh yes! I love the Twelve Days one on that, it's hysterical--and on my list for this thing.

Mr. Connick is one of those whose non-holiday albums I will also purchase.
