Unholy Xmas Song of the Day--Barenaked Ladies: "Elf's Lament"

· by

One can only hope that Canadians put more excitement into their Boxing Day songs. Here we find the Ladies attempting to put the woeful existence of a North Pole elf into words. This elf is a particularly annoying, unjolly one. He's critical of the toys he manufactures and is constantly bitching about his aspirations for a better life without any concrete plans aside from veiled threats of an organized labor strike. He refers to his boss not by name but as a "fat man" with a "silly red hat," and condemns innocent recipients of his toys for perpetuating his misery.
Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for
There's a list for who's been
Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf

...this is the seasonal theme song of every retail wage slave in America... especially the poor bastards that toil away in the WalMart/China slave labor factories...

I think its a funny, cool song. And I think that it puts some perspective on the must-buy Christmas toys, that satisfy for the day, but when it comes right down to it, it is just conspicuous consumption.
