SWEET CHRISTMAS JAMS
Merry #christmaswithmacy!
As many of you know, in the summer of 2008, I developed an odd affection for Macy Gray when I discovered that the raspy songstress who got "I Try" stuck in our heads back in '99 had also put up on her myspace an altogether different type of single, "Slap a Bitch."
I mean, let's be honest: Macy was 98 percent of the reason I started watching Dancing With The Stars this season. I tried to care about the other contestants, but after Macy was bumped during the first week, I had a hard time maintaining interest in the show.
Well, this summer whilst thrifting with Aldrich and Stacy, I discovered the aforementioned "Very Ally Christmas" in the CD bin at the Revivals thrift store on Palm Canyon. Much to my delight, I saw that the one, the only Macy Gray had recorded a Christmas tune for the Ally-bum.
That's right, kids. No longer does Macy just slap bitches, try to say goodbye and succeed in saying "Good niiiiiight!" She also says "Merry Chriiiiiistmas!" with her rendition of "Winter Wonderland." Take a listen:
If you want to download a copy of this holiday classic, you can do so over
on Amazon MP3 (and, as always, benefit Valley Wesley with a portion of the profits.)
Honorable mention
For all y'all out there who just can't get enough of Macy, she also recorded a cover of "Santa Baby" that's available on Amazon.
