Have a Happy Christmas Hangover by the Arrogant Worms is pretty good too :D

The holidays are over, you've gained twenty pounds
The cat's choking on tinsel, pine needles stalk the ground
There are no cards in the mailbox, just a stack of bills
Yes, the holidays are over and you are feeling ill
Have a happy Christmas hangover
It's the most miserable time of the year
The eggnog's made you fat, the party is over
'Cept for your wacky Uncle who is still drinking your beer
Turkey's great on Christmas bur after a whole month
Of turkey pie stew and pie you start to dread lunch
Breakfast is much scarier cuz all there is to eat
Is fourteen Christmas cakes and a bag of cranberries
Have a happy Christmas hangover
It's the most miserable time of the year
Your uncle's in the bathroom and granny's on the sofa
And you start to wish that they'd just disappear
You ate too many liquor-filled chocolates
Got no money left in your pockets
But at least you got lots of
Ugly sweaters and bow ties and socks
(And twenty-two calenders!)
You're skin is pale and pasty, your energy is spent
Along with all the money you need to pay the rent
The children are all crying 'cuz they've broken all their toys
Is this misery worth one day of joy?
Have a happy Christmas hangover
It's the most miserable time of the year
Your uncle has passed out on granny on the sofa
And you start to wish that you could disappear
And you start to wish that you cold disappear
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

What is industrial music? Just wondering.
How can rap be considered music?

Industrial is... like techno... but harder. Tough to describe, but it has a pretty devout following.

As far as rap being music, technically some is, and some isn't. In order to be music it needs to have a melody, and some rap does. The rest can basically be called freeverse to a rythem. I personally hate the stuff, but to each their own.

I looked up some of the items on the list in wikipedia, and to me, and probably a lot of other people of several generations, they don't qualify as music. But to each his own........
Bluegrass yes, and while it is country, it is NOT country pop, which I don't care for, older jazz yes, classical yes, blues, yes. The rest is pretty much off my radar screen.

i think industrial music is the grinding you get when you shift from low to high side on a 13 speed roadranger with a worn out synchronizer.
or maybe the turbocharger impeller on a cummins disintegrating at 120000 rpm.

Those would probably qualify--industrial music is said to consist mostly of noises, so maybe grinding gears and shattering turbos would fit right in.

They still use 13 spd RR's? I drove those over 30 years ago hauling frozen food OTR.

at least its better than some guy rapping about the last drive-by he did, or making endless references to an (insert mega-buck SUV here).

Dont care for country at all (though I can take a lil bluegrass if im in the mood). I live in the land of country music and pickup trucks so I have an aversion to pop country.

I can handle classic rock and metal and even 80s. Cant stomach a lot of the new crap that has come out. Can barely tolerate listening to the radio in the car and when at home am usually tuned into an online radio station (where you can at least find decent music of any genre).

The latest style of music that gets me laughing is Christian Death Metal. Just seems like a complete oxymoron to me.

My favorite Christmas song? Santa Claus You **** by Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson

Hey Santa claus you munt!
Where's me "procreating" bike?
I've unwrapped all this other junk and there's nothing that I like.
I wrote you a "procreating" letter and I come to see you twice
Ya worn out geriatric fart, you forgot me "procreating" bike.

If I wanted a pair of bloody thongs, I'd have bloody asked.
And this cowboy suit and ping pong set you can shove right up your 'O-ring'!
You've stuffed me bloody order up
It's enough to make you spew
And I'm not the only one who's snakey
Me sisters dirty too!

(female voice)
Hey santa clause you munt!
Where's me "procreating" pram?
You promised me you'd bring me one, you remember who I am.
'Cause I'm the little girl who you made sit right on your knee
I'll give you "procreating" ho ho ho
You forgot me "procreating" pram

(male voice)
Next time I come to see ya, I'm gonna punch you in the guts
And I'll let your "procreating" reihndeer go and kick Rudolf in the nuts!
You just wait 'till next year, when you go to that store
And me and me little sister, come stomping through the door

And we'll say, yeah you wait for it
Hey mums and dads you smell his breath and check his bloodshot eyes
And don't listen to him boys and girls 'cause he tells "procreating" lies
He's just a "pee" tank and a pervert, and he's not even very bright
'Cause the old "procreating" Banker Forgot me "procreating" bike.
You wait you old munt, I'm gonna dob you in
Tell me old man on you, he's gonna punch your "procreating" lights out
"I saw mummy sucking santa clause
