Tuesday’s Radio Free Lunch we’ll play songs associated with Christmas—but not actually Christmas songs. Think “Peace On Earth by U2 or Birthday” by the Beatles for you know who.
I’m not sure why I felt the need to post this video—-but it’s worth watching for the 80′s hair alone.
December, Collective Soul
Let It Be, The Beatles (mother mary)
Jesus, Etc., Wilco
Bright Lights, Matchbox 20
Buddy Holly, Weezer
Peace On Earth, U2
McDonald’s Daily Cheese
Holiday, Madonna
Calling All Angels, Train
Tiny Dancer, Elton John
2000 Miles, The Pretenders
Happy holidays!!
