The EelsMuch as I’ve tried, I just can’t seem to get into The . I can appreciate them to a certain degree, and there’s a few songs which I really like, but I’ve never felt the urge to rush out to get one of their albums added to my collection.

This song, ‘Christmas Is Going To The Dogs’, seems to be an alt-Christmas soundtrack staple, appearing on both The Grinch OST and one of those never ending OC “mixes”. Not to say it isn’t deserving, but that just seems excessive to me. As for the song itself, it’s as surreal as you’d expect from a guy that calls himself ‘E’. I’m not sure it makes a great deal of sense, and I’m pretty certain parts of it are sung from a dog’s point of view or something, but there you go. Not the greatest Christmas song in the world, but it certainly beats Cliff Richard’s yearly offering at least.
