Lazy Song Writers.

What's going on with the music industry at the moment?

Every year there will be a minimum of 5 christmas themed movies that come out in the festive season, and any semi decent T.V show will have atleast one episode dedicated to the Christmas period aswell. The music industry though, they've decided to rest on their laurels. They had a couple hits with 'Jingle Bells' and 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer' so now they think the public won't want anything new.

It's been years since a memorable christmas tune has come out, yet none of the song writers out there seem to be bothered by this.
As far as the music industry is concerned it's perfectly acceptable to rattle off a handful of classics early on and then just retire, give up and think, "you know what, they've got 7 or 8 songs now, that'll do.... How many more could they want?".

Well I'm glad you asked music industry, because the answer is lots more. The movie makers in Hollywood didn't stop after Tim Allen rocked the silver screen in 'Santa Clause' so there's no reason for you to think that we will all be happy singing 'The Little Drummer Boy' and 'Frosty the Snowman' for the rest of our lives.

All these carolers and child choirs our their that I see spreading Christmas joy have a pained looked on their face. And it's not one of embarassment at the fact they are singing in public places, often poorly. No, they are sad because year after year they have to sing the same old worn out songs. They're crying out for a new song. Perhaps one about Rudolphs long lost cousin Rupert, who has really sensitive hearing, or 2 red noses that are twice as bright as the one of Rudolph.

See that, I've just come up with a knock out idea for a song on the spot. It wasn't hard to do, I was just willing to put in the effort. All it needs now is for a songwriter to add the lyrics, tune and melody before it's a classic.

I call on others to follow my example of impulse thinking so many many more great christmas carols can be born this year. We all deserve them.

When you hear your kids singing about 'Rupert the two red nosed Reindeer with ultra sensitive hearing' you'll know who to thank, so for that my Christmas loving friends, you're welcome.

Merry Christmas :)!!!
