Welp, let's get this party started. So glad to see the tradition is still alive. Otherwise I'd have wrapped this up yesterday for no reason.

I enjoyed this greatly. Every single year, I hear a song, and think 'uhh, the timing is off... wait... goon christmas... ok, it's perfect.'

Also, you're avatar... I especially appreciate that :getin::respek::getin:

Thanks! Figured the least I can do for these forums was pony up for an avatar and commit crimes against music theory on an annual basis. I'm helping organize a Christmas parade this year and I'm going to try get some goon classics playing from a hidden speaker.

I just realized Soundcloud didn't have my submission as downloadable. Adjusted the permissions and that should be fixed now. I seem to remember that being an issue last year because it's not immediately obvious that there's no download link unless you're hunting for one.

I think the first of these threads brought this to my attention and I've hidden it on every mix CD I've ever put together for family functions.

So here's a cover of Highwayman, my terrible singing with some shoddy karaoke track:

YES. This is one of my favorite songs and I loved this.

Can you make it downloadable? I think Soundcloud requires you to manually select that in permissions. Makes me miss Tindeck where you can immediately tell if the link is there or not.

Well, she did sort of run these threads for years, and had a hell of an output of excellent and awful music.

Check out even the first year. She's also listed under 'Jen de Melo' sometimes.

"Don't Stop Believing (In Santa Claus)" was my youngest sister's introduction to Journey. Every time I hear it I remember being snowbound at college getting ready for the holidays.

I am straight banging these songs out.

Can you submit multiple songs? Op idicates you get one shot but my talents cant won't be contained by one song

Oh yeah, a lot of posters have put multiple songs up in the same year, or contributed to other people's projects in addition to their own. I don't think that's changed.

I have not had a chance to go over the back catalog, but have there been any mummy themed songs of note? I think I have a kernel of an idea.

There have been a couple good songs with a Halloween flair, but none that I can think of specifically about mummies. Here's some examples.

The Christmas Mash - Haschel Cedricson

And this collaboration that I, Greyhound and My Cat is Norris gave us featuring Frankenstein's Monster singing "Baby it's Cold Outside". One of my favorites from last year.

Here you go, my first for this year. It's a bit of an old-timey radio play.

The day Dracula stops showing up in goon songs (for no reason) is the day Christmas dies. I love this.

I remember my hometown burger shack having an arcade cabinet based on Conan back in '93 or so and somehow that's just jumbled up in my earliest Christmas memories. Anyway, here's this thing that should not be.

Is it that time already?

I'll get around to uploading 2018's album to my Youtube account. I was dealing with a move when it was uploaded. Did we ever decide on a cover for it? There isn't one in the zip file or on any of the tracks.

I think last year's thread was leaning toward this. Not sure of the artist.

If anyone with artistic talent needs inspiration for album cover art this year I've been somewhat enamored by these Christmas cards from the 19th Century:

I really love the radio plays that have come from these threads.

"This Postman Can" absolutely slew me when it randomly turned into a high-stakes dance off with a Francoist General.

"Law and Order: Special Christmas Unit" was simply magical throughout. I think I achieved enlightment back in 2017 when I first heard it cut to the opening theme after the initial dialogue.

Something Awful has some tremendous holiday synergy going on right now. The Worst Christmas Coloring Book thread has tons of album art potential.

I'm probably tapped for singing this season, but I've been combing through old holiday specials from the 80's on Betamaxmas. I'm now haunted by the prospect of a holiday special composed entirely of Goon music.

I did some digging in the SAXMas archive and found six songs that don't have any attribution whatsoever. Some rooting around gave me a list of links to the previous threads, which used to be part of the OP in previous years:

I found out that the following were
saxmas_2014\Disc 2\The Little Dubstep Boy --- made by: stillvisions
Something Awful Christmas 2016_ vol. 8 Disc 3\3-11 Santa's Memory --- made by: Koivunen
Something Awful Christmas 2016_ vol. 8 Disc 4\4-09 Joulupukki --- made by: Koivunen
Something Awful Christmas 2016_ vol. 8 Disc 4\4-12 SiiiiiilverBeeeeeells --- made by: Gaspy Conana

I was wondering if someone with archives could ctrl+f around the archived threads for who made/posted these:
Goon+Christmas+2011+Dear+Leader+Tribute+Disc+1\10 - Various Artists - pfeffernuss
saxmas_2013\Disc 1\christmas is a time for cheer


Also, while you're here, why not vote for the thread; it doesn't even have a rating yet. Thanks for your attention and interest.

Unfortunately, the death of Tindeck has made tracing entries from the archives difficult. However, "Christmas is a Time for Cheer" from 2013 was posted by Maw.

Not sure about pfeffernuss. All the entry posts are now blank in that thread and there aren't any context cues I can find. Maybe someone remembers?

Edit: I think pfeffernuss "might" have been posted by Popcorn. They said in the thread their contribution was a collaboration with a friend and acoustic guitar, which matches the song. The original link is dead though, so I can't confirm.

It's alarming how listening to the completed album every year on Christmas Eve actually gets me back in the spirit just in time every year. It's right up there with falling asleep to the Muppet Christmas Carol.

Thanks for making everything festive everyone. I hope the new year is kind and gives us the energy to make Goon Christmas 12 just as special.

Gonna close out 2019 in style with Goon classics like this one: https://saxmas.robotcousin.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/auldlangsyne.mp3
