Another Form of Relief

This is the A-side to the Fountains of Wayne song that I posted on day 7 of this little project, and it’s a far happier song than it’s counterpart. Christmas songs don’t come much simpler than this. The narrator wants an alien for Christmas, and that’s about the entirity of the song. There’s something wonderfully simple about the whole thing, yet somehow it never crosses into the absurd. Which, if we’re honest, a song about wanting an alien for Christmas sung by four grown men is a line it should really cross.
