Fear not ... if you missed the performance during this year's Thanksgiving Macy's Day parade ... you can add this insta-classic about the additional challenges that Santa faces in the poorest parts of town to your holiday playlist courtesy of the youtube. It's actually a quite sweet song ... and speaks to a simpler time (I imagine a modern update would probably involve Santa wearing the wrong gang colors on the wrong street corner and getting him and his rein-hos all shot up).
Note: I went looking for the full lyrics and couldn't find them listed on the interwebs ... but I did find the track list for the album on which this song is found as track 4. While doing so, I noticed Track 5: "What if We All Stopped Paying Taxes?". I have to tell you ... Sharon Jones and her Dap-Kings spend a lot of time embracing some deep thinking ...
Without any further ado (or engagement in conversation about social anarchy) ... have a Dappy Holidays indeed!
