You will not hear any of these delightful tunes at a mall this holiday season.
August Darnell, "Christmas On Riverside Drive"
August Darnell, best known as Kid Creole of Kid Creole and the Coconuts and a core member of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band, recorded this glorious disco ode to uptown Manhattan during the holiday season for Ze Records' A Christmas Record in 1981. That album, a one-of-a-kind classic of post-punk/disco holiday cheer, also features the wonderful "Christmas Wrapping" by the Waitresses, which went on to become a very well-known Christmas staple.

Debbie & The Darnels, "Santa, Teach Me To Dance"
Via whitedoowopcollector.blogspot.com
The perfect song for your christmas cocktails party, one of those girl group jams that immediately makes you feel like flipping the ends of your hair, donning a pretty dress, and doing a twisty dance with your wrist all askance and your mouth all pouty. All. night. long. [SB]
