Merry Christmas, Mr. Gulp Gulp:The Young Fresh Fellows

Artist: The Young Fresh Fellows

Album: Merry Croutons, Mr. Gulp Gulp

Appears On (Mixes): Most Folks Call Them Green Onions, But They're Really Scallions

Song Notes: This is from their 1984 Fan Club Cassette "Merry Croutons, Mr. Gulp Gulp", and was the Young Fresh Fellows' approach to the yearly Christmas record of groups like The Beatles and whatnot. It's basically just them screwing around in studio and doing some new songs, some covers and some different (sometimes Christmas-y, like in the case of "Down By The Pharmacy") versions of their own songs. Strangely, if I was going to guess a band who WOULD have a cut on "Santa Claus", the Fellows'd be at the top of THAT list, but… there you go. Anyway, here's a nice little song about that sense of forgiveness that permeates during the Christmas season. (Also, booze.) - Rev. Syung Myung Me
