    Decent enough for the holiday single. Probably won't listen to it too many more times.

    I like it.

    It's not a competition - it's just a good Christmas song.

    catchy enough, i like the part where he starts yelling. my problem is that it seems strange to compare santa to God, i don't know it just bothers me.

    I enjoy it, and it will become a seasonal favourite in my house, but I don't see myself rockin' out to it in July. I never expect the Holiday single to blow me away, though. But I won't complain if it does. I'll have to agree that Strangest Tribe is one of the best.

    I'm pretty sure that its meant sarcastically. That we put commercialism to such a degree on a pedestal that Santa almost seems like God. (And we, in consequence, get conditioned by it). Anyway, just my two cents.

    I can hear that...although the Clash "I Fought the Law" is a cover - the original was done by the Bobby Fuller Four sometime in the late 50's/early 60's...

    Anyway, I LOVE Santa God! I think most kids believe in god on some level and by the time you figure out that Santa isn't real, you also start questioning the believability of god. But you know what - It's a cute, catchy Christmas ditty and I don't wanna over-analyze it - I wanna enjoy it!

    sounds like REM circa 1984!, its ok, its fun, aslong as it doesn't get played at my pj next gig instead of something i really want to hear like ed did with 'no more' at wembley.

    jingle bells brought a smile to my face....good effort mike
    leeds 26/08/06....electric
    paris 11/09/06.....crushed...but estatic
    wembley 18/06/07.....oh yes

    Not really a fan... rough B-side at best.
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    Now and then I remember when,
    Us Adults were little Kids,
    And our only worry was,
    What we get from Santa Claus,

    When Santa Claus was God,
    When Santa Claus was God,
    When Santa was... Santa Claus was...
    When Santa Claus was God

    Now we're grown and so complex,
    In a world that can't relax,
    Even though he was a lie,
    We all were satisfied,

    When Santa Claus was God,
    When Santa Claus was God,
    When Santa was... When Santa Claus was...
    When Santa Claus was God

    How I learned from right and wrong,
    Had to be good for Santa Claus,
    He made me, stop misbehaving,

    And once a year if I did my job,
    I'd be given my favorite toys,
    So simple, the principles,

    When Santa was... When Santa Claus was...
    Santa Claus was God

    I haven't even heard the song yet, but from these lyrics, I think it's a pretty interesting take on what Christmas meant to alot of us, as opposed to what it should have been about. It's pretty scary what the holiday is supposed to be about, and what we've turned it into, and I'm not even talking about commercialization. How and when did a celebration of Christ's birth become about Santa Claus, flying reindeer, etc.? Don't get me wrong, I love all that stuff, it's just thought provoking.
