Bill Tye! Bill Tye! Bill Tye!
The laziest hour of your day.
It's not that I'm lazy.
It's that I just don't care.
You listen to KFC Radio.
My point was, I don't get out much, so the whole Christmas atmosphere can just really pass me by in a matter of a month.
So I have taken to going on YouTube and I type in Christmas mix.
Listen to this, bro.
It's amazing.
You can have a three-hour Christmas mix that not only has the video is a log that's burning,
it makes the crackle noise.
So I'm basically having Christmas every day
By myself with me and Duncan
I'm having fireside Christmas music
With me and my man Duncan
All day every day leading up to Christmas
So I have been down with the Christmas scene
This year
But I'm going to count down
The top like 10 or so of my favorite songs
A couple of my least favorite songs
And we're
going to kick it off right now with your boys, Wham.
This is so 80s.
This is the one from the 80s.
It's real mellow.
Real chill.
We didn't think the intro would be this long, did we?
We never think through
the music very well.
We made a playlist this time
so it should go smoother,
but...
There it is.
Let the beat drop.
I mean,
the synth in the back is so unreal.
George Michael just crushed the song.
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart.
But the very next day, you gave it away. This year, to set me from tears,
I'll give it to you.
Just kicking it off so right with your boys Wham! How cocky is Wham! with that exclamation
point? That's by far the gayest thing about Wham! And there's a lot of gay shit about
Wham! George Michael, was lot of gay shit about Wham!
Was George Michael the one that got caught jerking off in the movie theater?
That's about as gay as it gets.
Whipping your dick out in a movie theater with other dudes
around. That's still not as
gay as the exclamation point at the
end of Wham!
This is the kind of songs we're talking about, by the way.
I'm not going to sit here and play you Jingle Bells, okay?
I'm going to play you some Christmas classics.
We're going to play songs that are just straight fire.
We're going to play you songs that are classics.
We're going to play you songs that I hate.
We're going to play you songs that are just undeniably popular.
These are just the Christmas songs you need to know.
And Wham from the 80s is
on everyone's list. And if it's not, you're lying to yourself. This is definitely on every
chick's list. If you're a guy and you're trying to front that you don't like Wham,
you've got some sexual issues you need to work out, dude. Because the straightest guys
can admit that Wham is straight fire.
Let's move it.
What do we got next?
Hang on.
We're going to have to get better at this eventually.
Listen to the lyrics, folks. I really can't stay.
But baby, it's cold outside.
I've got to go away.
But baby, it's cold outside.
This evening has been so very nice.
I'll hold your hands
They're just like a kiss
My mother will start to hurt me
She's basically protesting here.
This, my friends, is as close to date rape as you can get.
Are you listening closely?
So really I'd better
Give me a pause.
Give me a pause.
Please don't hurt me
If you're not listening,
like this is like when we go back to last week
when we broke down the 12 Days of Christmas.
All of a sudden you're like, wait, what the fuck is this song about?
It's about a zoo.
That song is all about birds and horns, okay?
That song makes no fucking sense.
Baby, It's Cold Outside.
Off the top of your head, you're usually like, oh, it's a great Christmas song about, you know, it's cold outside.
You want to be by the fire and snuggled up.
No, no, no, no.
Baby, It's Cold Outside is all about some dude trying to score some pussy
and a very reluctant chick who's like, please let me go home.
And he's just throwing out every excuse you possibly can think of
to try to steal the deal.
Be just a half a drink more.
Half a drink more.
She's breaking.
The neighbors might think.
The neighbors might think we're fucking.
See what's in this drink.
Oh, that's a roofie.
I wish I knew how.
Your eyes are like starlight.
Their eyes.
To break the spell.
Break the spell.
The drugs are kicking in.
I can't escape.
I can't feel my legs.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
Please, no. I'm saying no to the sex. feel my legs. No, no, no. Please, no.
I'm saying no to the sex.
No means no.
No means no.
It's cold.
I'll fuck you.
I'll just fuck you.
I mean, first of all, let's talk about...
You gotta realize, I believe this was made in 1949.
This was not when chicks were just spreading legs.
This is not when chicks were banging like 25 dudes in a career.
They banged like one.
That's why she's like, the neighbors might know.
Because it's like, ah, they're not married.
They shouldn't be fucking.
This chick is nervous.
Meanwhile, my dude, what's his name?
Bobby something?
Bobby Mercer or some shit?
Johnny.
Close enough.
Bobby Mercer.
Johnny Mercer.
Frank Gatsby.
Johnny Mercer has game, my friends.
I mean, he's complimenting the eyes.
He's telling her it's too cold outside.
Don't worry about your mom.
Don't worry about your sister sister Let me get you a drink
Let me get you another cigarette
It's a war of attrition
It is
Getting pussy is a war of attrition
Even back then
Even at Christmas time
From caveman days
That's what it was dude
Chicks
They have the pee
They put it on the pedestal
And you have to climb up to the pedestal to get there.
And then you have to drag her down from the pedestal.
She's going to want to stay up there.
No matter what she's saying.
She's saying, I don't want to give it up.
And you're saying.
But it's cold outside.
You're saying it's cold outside.
Don't go out there.
Stay with me.
Take your pants off.
Let me put my penis inside of you.
It's Christmas time.
This is another one.
Listen to the lyrics to this kinky little mix.
She ain't talking about the holiday spirit.
Santa baby. You hear that voice?
This chick wants
the dick. If you could swap
her out from Baby It's Cold,
the chick from Baby It's Cold with the chick from
Santa Baby, there'd be no discussion. There'd be
no song because Jimmy Mercer
would have just been balls deep up in that chick.
These are some old school jams you got there.
Oh, and she wants a 54 convertible.
Yeah, no problem. This chick is like,
I'll suck your dick, but you gotta give me
something nice too. I ain't saying she's
a gold digger.
This is where Kanye got it from.
I mean,
what sort of a sultry,
she's a black chick,
by the way,
that'll change your whole
perception of the song.
She's a sultry little black minx.
She just wants Santa
to come up in her chimney.
Come down your chimney,
come all up in mine,
if you feel me.
I'm telling you, man,
these Christmas songs,
you think it's all aboutmas songs you think it's all
about fucking you think it's all about brotherly love and perpetual hope nope it's about getting
the dick i didn't think it's a lot of christmas songs about sex getting and giving the dick how
about that for like a pickup line you're at the bar like what's your favorite christmas song because
mine's the one about fucking.
Let me get you in the mood, girl.
It's about the one
where the dude
has a fucking
raging heart on
and wants to stick it
inside the other chick
who's definitely
a little bit wet
but she's still
a little bit hesitant.
This is not
the Christmas special.
Actually,
this is the exact
Christmas special
that people were anticipating.
Oh, yeah.
If you were thinking
you'd get anything else,
you were sadly mistaken.
So those are the two
most sexual songs. We'll definitely call it that. thinking you're getting anything else you are sadly mistaken so those are the two most uh sexual
songs we'll definitely call it that so hurry down the chimney tonight and fuck me we'll do anal i
promise tonight some kinky shit what do we got next.
We're still not out of like the 1950s.
Dude, I'm an old school kind of cat.
Dreaming of a white
Christmas. Your boy
Macaulay's singing that.
Let's be honest. That's primarily why
I picked this song. Everyone knows
my obsession with Home Alone.
This is my favorite rendition of White Christmas.
There's a lot.
There's a lot.
And I think a lot of people always talk about Bing Crosby.
Bing Crosby's version, I think, is the one that everyone blows their load for.
Fuck that noise.
Give me these guys, the Drifters.
They're just like an old school
bunch of black dudes who do the acapella.
You know I love my acapella.
Acapella meets Home Alone. No wonder I love this fucking song.
But you gotta
picture Macaulay Culkin fresh out of the shower
with his hair slicked back
singing along into his
comb like it's a microphone.
About to put the after save on.
Ah!
We gotta break down.
We're going to break down Home Alone at some
point, right? Oh, there'll be a whole premium episode
for anybody who signed up for the
yearly membership at KFC. Yeah, are y'all
listening on the app right now?
Everyone downloads the app. Because you should be. It's so
much easier. It's all right
there. You can listen on your app at your desk while you're
traveling. Download the app.
We'll get to Home Alone, but this song needed to be on the countdown.
There's only one more song from
Home Alone that really triggers the Home Alone memories for me.
And that's the next one on this list right here. This is your boy Bobby Helms.
Bobby.
You know what's so funny?
I didn't know any of the names.
I just automatically assumed everyone was Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, and that was really it.
Here's a little fun fact. Your
boy thought Bing Crosby was black up until last year. I think I had to find that out
at some point. I think I made that natural assumption also. I was 27. I got 27 years
thinking that. I don't know if I'm right. I think I found it out before that. You know
what it was? I never watched any of his movies. I never saw White Christmas until last year.
And then I was like, this isn't Big Crosby.
He's fucking white.
I just assumed because Nat King Cole's black.
I just assumed the other guy was black too.
No one else.
I don't know if I've ever listened to lyrics to this.
Is this one about sex too? It could be. I don't know if I've ever listened to lyrics to this. Is this one about sex too?
It could be.
I don't even know.
This one is about double penetration and a gangbang.
That's the jingle bell rock.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock.
That right there is just a good old, like, to me that is,
it's not like a corny jingle bells that you like you don't want to just listen
to jingle bells right that's like a carol yeah yeah i guess i guess so yeah that to me is like
the most christmassy you have the bells in the background you're decorating the tree yeah well
you're enjoying yourself you're drinking maybe like hot chocolate with a little bit of like
jameson in it or something you're enjoying yourself you're actually just inducing a young
lady who's
begging you to leave, but you're
basically, it's you and the snow versus this
poor girl's will. It's like me
and six inches of snow are going to eventually break
you. You will fuck us. And if not,
here's a roofie in your drink. He was praying
for colder weather. Oh, absolutely. I wanted
to go. Alright, keep it moving.
What do we got next? It's your favorite.
Oh, no.
This song, my friends,
fucking sucks.
You look disgusted.
This is, so,
I alluded to this earlier.
There's parts of the Christmas holiday season that you hate in the cues.
And as much as we love the Christmas music that we're doing right now in this countdown.
I can get down with this part a little bit.
The Feliz Navidad song. I want to wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart.
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas. The Feliz Navidad song, to me, it's the ultimate, like,
I've heard this 65,000 times since Thanksgiving in my cube
because, like, the fat secretary plays her music out loud with no headphones.
The only song worse than that
is
this one.
This song fucking
sucks.
Ugh.
Let me tell you something.
If you like this song, I hate you.
Some people were tweeting you about this as their favorite.
This song, you know what this song reminds me of?
And I don't know if this is in my head or not.
The Yankees.
I think they play this at Yankee Stadium.
It does? I don't know.
Or like during the...
They play something similar to it, right?
Yeah, during their seventh inning stretch or something, they play something to this effect.
And it fucking sucks.
This and Feliz Navidad, two worse songs.
Get it off.
Get it off my computer.
I can't even stand to listen to it.
That's a song that sticks in your head, too.
And you're just stuck all day. And you're in the cube and you just you like some
songs and you hate others and it seems like felice navidad and dominic the donkey are on every other
song from thanksgiving to christmas and you want to just blow your fucking head off we line this up
because you love this one comes the time for christmas yo i don't know if people know this
song or not.
A lot of people are not going to know it.
Blues Traveler, Christmas.
I'm telling you right now, this is the top five song of all time.
Hold on. I wish you one horse, soap, and sleigh
Would come carry me away
John Popper, you magnificent fat bastard.
Is he one of those dudes that lost all the weight?
I hope not.
Okay.
Where is Blues Travel now?
They tweeted me the other day.
It was like the biggest moment of my Twitter career.
Blues Travel tweeted you?
Yeah.
Listen to this jam, dude.
Fuck those two holidays.
The boy KFC is playing the air drums right now.
I always wanted to play the drums.
That was the one instrument I wanted to play.
I always do air drums.
It's my go-to.
You have no idea how to play the drums either.
Like you're like hitting the wrong... Yeah, no, I'm just moving my left and my right.
Let's talk about Blues Traveler for a moment.
Blues Traveler has a very special place in my heart.
I'm not a die-hard fan.
I couldn't tell you the name of all their songs and all their albums and shit.
But Blues Traveler, to me...
Remember when Tupac said,
have a party at my funeral,
let every rapper rock it?
I do remember that.
Have a party at my funeral,
let John Popper rock it.
Let him just crush my funeral
with that harmonica.
They are...
They are so fucking smooth, bro,
that they're just...
Their whole vibe...
Popper kind of sings, but then he kind of like raps a little bit sometimes.
It goes like double time.
And then it's just like so sexy.
God.
And then you throw in the little Christmas vibe.
It's a very unpopular song, and I was very surprised because I tweeted out today.
Everyone let me know your favorite songs.
And one dude tweeted me this, and I wrote back to him, and I was like,
I thought I was the only person on the planet Earth that knew christmas by blues traveler it is a fire
i think you're legit putting hundreds and thousands of people onto this right now because
i don't think anybody nobody knows this. Nobody knows this song! Christmas by Blues Traveler.
Very creative touch.
Wait, are you telling me, did Blues Traveler do
like a Christmas album? I think they did three.
I think this is off of their Christmas album.
It's called something like Always Christmas 3.
That must be a compilation, right?
No, no, it's various artists.
Jam.
All right.
What do we got next?
Can we just go back to Blue Strap and play that over and over again?
Do you want to play old Blue Strap songs?
I should have just put Run Around on this.
It has nothing to do with Christmas, but it's my favorite song to play.
Pretty much in any scenario ever.
Oh, wait a minute.
Now we got to talk about Bolton.
Michael Bolton, Our Love is a Holiday.
If you don't know it, you know it now.
I know that I've let you down in the past. If you don't know it, you know it now.
Michael Bolton, even sexier than John Hopper.
Michael Bolton is your boy, huh?
Michael, I have a very irrational love for Michael Bolton.
I love that he's kind of back, right?
Lonely Island kind of brought him back.
At this point, he's like making fun of himself.
He's like, I'm fucking Michael Bolton.
I'm going to do whatever I want.
He is the man, dude.
Now, didn't Michael Bolton...
I wish this was a video podcast.
I need to find this right now.
Your boy, Casey, he's got the headphones on.
He's on the mic.
This is like my karaoke moment.
I don't fuck with karaoke, but right now I am vibing out.
I'm definitely filming this next year.
Michael Bolton.
I have a few people that I have an irrational obsession with,
and Michael Bolton's one of them.
It started, I think, because of his song, How Can We Be Lovers.
How can we be lovers if we can't be friends?
That's on my Guilty Pleasures countdown.
It's just such an absurd song, and it just bangs so hard that I just have to rep Bolton for that.
For no other reason, I have to rep Michael Bolton for How Can We Be Lovers.
The other people I have an irrational obsession with, the athlete that I'm most obsessed with for some reason, Dante Bichette.
Okay.
I have no, I could not tell you one reason why.
Dante Bichette just always sticks in my head.
He just, you can say the name, just say his name, and I fucking laugh out loud.
Dante Bichette, Michael Bolton, and the third, Gerard Depardieu.
I have one actor, one singer, one athlete.
My actor is Gerard Depardieu.
I fucking love the guy, especially now now he's kind of like bolton he's made a comeback gerard de perdue was at like the world
cup last year or whenever the last fucking world cup was didn't he like renounce france yeah yeah
he was he was a free agent for a while and and putin wanted to sign him i think he ended up
signing with russia he signed with putin signing putin that was a fucking steal. That was a savvy move by Putin.
He knows. See? Putin knows what's up.
I'll tell you right now, if Michael Bolton or Dante Bichette were ever to renounce their...
I don't even know. I'm assuming Michael Bolton's Canadian.
He does feel very Canadian, doesn't he?
Have you seen his commercials recently?
I almost bought a Honda the other day just because of his new Honda commercials.
And the commercials are unbelievable because he's just singing about Hondas.
So Michael Bolton's singing about Hondas.
And even the people in the commercial, like the Christmas shoppers, like the car, people buying the car, look at him like, what the fuck is going on right now?
And that is like the exact point.
What the fuck is Michael Bolton doing?
He's just being Michael Bolton.
Lonely Island is is a gimmick.
That one was so money though.
When he was just singing about
Pirates of the Caribbean.
It was so fire.
That was good stuff. I wanted to download that
and listen to it just on the subway.
Make sure you download Our Love is a Holiday.
That's another one.
This to me.
This to me was like the pop.
The original pop song to me.
You know what I mean?
Like NSYNC did it.
And Backstreet Boys did it.
But both of them fucking knocked it out of the park with this one.
Next up.
Well, now we're getting serious.
Oh, right.
It was all fun and games. Top five, right?
It was all fun and games.
We're talking about chicks getting fucked on Christmas
and talking about how I want Blue Traveler to play at my funeral.
Bolton's a joke. We all get it. But we're coming into
the top five now. So now it's all business. These are my top five Christmas
jams. Again, not Christmas carols. I ain't talking
I love Away in a Manger. I love First Noel. I ain't talking about church songs. I'm not talking
about Jingle Bells. These are just fire music
centered around Christmas.
Number five.
Start us off.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Happy holidays.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.
Happy Holidays.
It's your boys NSYNC with Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays.
You knew it was going to be on there.
And if it's not on your list, again, you've got some sexual insecurities.
Because NSYNC, JT, it doesn't matter who fucking sings this song.
This is a chick's love.
Chicks, yeah, that's the other thing.
All these songs that make you gay
actually make you knowledgeable
about things that chicks love.
You know what?
During Baby It's Cold Outside,
if that dude just put on
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays,
she probably would have just
taken her pants off right then and there.
This whole series has now been a way
to seduce that one woman from the 50s.
You're like, what else?
How else could this guy have done it?
Well, really, that's all life is, seducing women from the 50s.
I have no idea if we're even allowed to play all this stuff on a podcast.
All this copyrighted music.
We're probably going to get sued.
Hey, I'm also pretty sure you're not allowed to just slap Joe Pesci's face on a fucking T-shirt and sell it.
But I'm doing that too.
The White Bandits.
Merry Christmas.
Suck brick.
JT killing it.
Want to go next?
Yeah.
You needed this one.
You can't have a countdown without this song, folks.
It's probably the most popular Christmas song in the history of the Christmas songs.
Chicks love it more than anything on the planet Earth.
Oh, that's KFC Internet right there.
It's the remix.
Oh, it's skipping on us.
Look at this.
We got to start it all over again.
Underneath the Christmas tree.
Check it never happens.
That's the DJ right there.
Mariah Carey is still cashing checks from this song and always will be until the day her great, great grandkids die.
That's how fucking popular this song is.
All I want for Christmas is you.
Move over, Mariah.
A lot of people are going to yell at me
because guys and girls alike are going to tell you
this should be the number one song on the Christmas countdown.
I'm not going to give it that distinction.
But it is an absolute banger.
And you can't have, if you have a list without this song on it for Christmas, your whole list is invalid.
You have no credibility anymore as a Christmas song surveyor.
My wish got true.
All I want for Christmas is you.
You.
Baby.
I mean, there's not much to say about it.
I mean, it is what it is.
Everyone knows the song.
I'm going to tell you, though, the reaction that chicks have when you put that song on, it's unlike anything I've ever
seen in my whole life. I remember I was at Casey's in Hampton Bays. Anyone who vacations out there
in the summer, they know it. It's like, you go to Boardy Barn, you go to the Drift, and then you
used to go to Casey's. I think it's closed drift for you oh my god christmas what's the opposite of christmas
miracle big fucking lump of coal in my stocking the drift out in hamptons and west hampton
has been turned into a african-american coast guard museum because that's what we needed out
there are there even any black guys in the Coast Guard?
How many black guys are in the Coast Guard?
That's like a fucking...
Enough to fill a museum.
No, it's probably...
There's like two guys,
and that's why they're famous,
and that's why they get their own museum.
It's like the NHL.
Yeah, there's a couple black hockey players,
but come on!
Fucking black Coast Guards.
Get the fuck out of here.
No more drift.
Top five favorite bar of all time for me.
Maybe top...
It might be like number two,
right up there with Parker House in Jersey.
That's how great that bar was.
But Casey's, one time, it wasn't even Christmas in July.
That's another thing that Drift used to do, which crushed it.
Everyone just pretended it was Christmas halfway to December 25th.
It was fucking amazing.
Just one random summer night in Casey's.
One minute, we're fucking dancing to like
flow rider and the next minute the dj just drops mariah all i want for christmas is you
and chicks just went insane almost like too insane it was like if you were if you were in the middle
of like laying game or you were about to take a chick home like nope because she just totally
fucking forgot about you she's dancing with like random strangers on the floor like
other girls just belting out the lyrics like they're mariah in the studio it's it's just it's
a powerful song it embodies all about christmas it's it's everything All right.
Top three territory now, right?
Yeah.
Smooth transitions here. We can only do so much. Give? Yeah. Smooth transitions here.
We can only do so much.
Give me a pause.
Give me a pause.
Another Home Alone classic.
Home Alone 2, lost in New York.
It's when he first arrives in New York City.
He's on a taxi.
He's going over the bridge into Manhattan.
And they drop this Darlene Love with your boys, the E Street Band,
borrowed them for Bruce for the afternoon,
and they dropped Alone on Christmas.
And it's a masterpiece.
Oh, the saxophone!
Give it to me, Clarence! Ah, Clarence Clemons!
Rest in peace!
The big man, Clarence Clemons! Let it flow.
Let it flow. Let it flow. Let it flow.
I love how you can always tell an E Street band song.
It's got the saxophone.
It's got the pianos.
And it's always got that one weird sound.
It's like someone playing the triangle or some shit.
It's got a chime in the background.
It's just like, boom.
You instantly know it's Bruce.
You instantly know it's the E Street Band. I mean, you can't have a Christmas list with the E Street Band
and not talk about your boy Bruce Springsteen's Santa Claus coming to town.
So we'll flow right from Alone on Christmas
into perhaps the greatest rock Christmas song of all time.
It's cold down on the beach.
The wind's whipping down the boardwalk.
And then...
You're not in the Christmas mood after this list,
after listening to this podcast.
Then you're a Jew.
You're a Grinch.
What?
Oh, Christmas time. Nobody does the three three song talk better than Springsteen.
Is there anybody alive out there? Santa bring your new saxophone player. Santa bring your
new saxophone player. Santa bring your new saxophone player. Santa bring your new saxophone Oh, that's not many, not many of you guys in trouble out here.
And you better watch out, you better not cry.
You better not fight, I'm telling you why.
Santa Claus is coming to town.
This is like a real classic song, you know?
This is like the real classic.
This is one of those songs, it's a real classic song you know this is like the real classic this is one of those songs it's a true christmas song it's like a christmas carol that has been touched by the boss
max weinberg on the drums you know that should be your boy kmc you know i should have learned how to play the drums i'd'd be in a band right now. I wouldn't be a fucking blogger.
I'd be playing the drums. Getting all
sorts of groupie pussies. Let's get you
drum lessons and film that shit.
Oh, I'd be so bad.
He sees you
when you're sleeping.
He knows
when you're awake.
He knows if you
been bad or good, you better be good for goodness sake. I love that. Santa Claus is coming to town Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
What a perfect song.
Oh, hang in there to be clear.
