Reaction to Father Christmas by the Kinks.Could this be the first protest christmas song?
It is angry and has a punk influence,but at the same time has a great message.
It is different and not your usual christmas song,but i like it.

The message is still timely but I think it's important to put this in context. The UK in the late 70s was a pretty dire place for a lot of people.
It still is, the CEO in my company earns over half a million a year plus bonuses and share dividends, yet he thinks I'm earning too much, should work longer hours plus endure much poorer terms and conditions.
He and his team were called to the House of Lords to explain the financial and logistical catastrophe of "Test and Trace."
And, he was then made CEO of the largest communication business in the UK.
FACT IS STRANGER THAN FICTION!
THESE STRIKES ARE HAPPENING FOR A REASON!
This is one of the standard rock Xmas songs. I love it. Bruce Springsteen has a great version of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”. 🌺✌️
Love me some Kinks!!
Shared among my Kinks Facebook group. Discovering their music is a great adventure.
Have yourself a merry merry Christmas, have yourself a good time but remember the kids will have nothing, while you’re drinking down your wine. That’s the true meaning of this song
Great song again from the Kinks, they don't always hit the bullseye but they do it more than most.
Never, ever a Christmas Sing with a deep and needed message.
Brilliant in so many levels.
Only the Kinks can create and deliver this type of holiday message with such vim and gusto.
It’s dark and warm.
My absolute favorite Xmas song since the day it was released. Considering the state England was in back when it was written it's very appropriate.

Thanks, Harri - this is my favorite "Christmas Classic" song - lol -- it's interesting that you see it as "punk" - and as "angry" - I suppose it comes across a bit that way - but I always just thought of it as hard rock with a message - and a good message - humorous, but still poignant - I think that's true of many of the Kinks' songs - not always hard-rocking, but always with a message - I hope you get around to more reactions to Kinks - you will probably be surprised by the diversity they had in their music over the years...
Don't forget, The Kinks were punk before punk was ever a thing.
One of my favs. I remember when this came out I was9 or 10 yrs old. Loved it!
My favorite Christmas song
Ah the humor of Ray Davies
Amen, Harry. Merry Christmas 🎄
Best Rock and Roll Christmas song
One of my favorite Kinks songs.
Greg Lake released a song titled "I Believe in Father Christmas". I highly recommend it for the Christmas season.
Beat me to it. Beautiful song.
@@missblondie2393 Let it stand as a concurrent comment. Anyone that likes Greg Lake's "I Believe in Father Christmas" is already a winner.
I remember him from when Emerson, Lake, and Palmer (ELP) released their album "Brain Salad Surgery" back in 1974.
@@jamestaylor2920 Why thank you Kind Sir and may I say the same is implied to you. I have an older cousin with a fantastic taste in music and since a young child I've listened to the greatness of ELP. Three brilliantly talented artists. RIP to Greg Lake and Keith Emerson.
@@missblondie2393 be sure to thank your elder cousin. I've had several influential people in my life that have expanded my musical horizons.
We lost both Emerson and Lake in 2016. It was sad that the trio did not come back together after the breakup. With big talent comes bigger egos and as "they" say, "time wounds all heels".
May your Playlist remain filled with eclectic tunes from fresh face talent and long dead icons.
I recommend '' Here comes Bubba Clause '' by Bubba Clause. or his song '' Frosty the Beer Mug '' and '' Maxing out the credit card again '' hee hee
Shit: I grew up in the 1950s. What this song say explicitly was always in the back of our awareness during the 1950s. We knew there was no Santa Claus. But we shut up about it in order to get the "bennies" -- the toys.
I love this song,
In the U.S. trying to kill St. Nick with ice balls is a crime , in my city it's called halftime entertainment at a NFL Eagles game.
Funny stuff
I never really thought of the Kinks as a punk band, but I guess some of their biggest hits ("You Really Got Me", "All Day and All of the Night") could be considered punk songs.
I've been saying for years that if the Kinks had come along a decade later, they'd be universally considered the first punk rock band. That riff from "You Rhey eally Got Me"... the lyrics to "Father Christmas"... they had an edge that their (equally great) contemporaries just didn't have.
The Kinks were long before punk
This song is 1977..and is punk
Well, I think you could say that the Kinks were one of the forefathers of punk, when you go back to You Really Got Me in 1964, there was nothing on the radio that sounded that edgy, musically-speaking. So I think punk rockers owe a lot to the Kinks. As to the question of whether or not this song is true punk, I'll leave the last word to Harri, since it's his channel, lol.
@@DJHolte 🤣😆🤣😆 You should run for a political office with your diplomacy.
Personally i feel The Kinks started playing punk-like music way before it was called punk.And this song is definately punk.
I think the op is just saying that the Kinks started before punk became a thing. Which is true. They were punk before it existed. Always loved the Kinks. One of the most underrated bands that came out of the 60's. About early punk band that never made it is Death. Check out Politicians in My Eyes sometime. Great song.
Great song, Thanks Harri!
The drumming is insane . Dig that crazy beat.
It'd would have never gotten released today. Still it's the best Christmas song ever made
Now to complete the Christmas Punk Trifecta you need the Pogues - Fairytale of New York, and the Dropkick Murphy’s - The Seasons Upon Us.
Perfect combination!
@@mandarinlearner to me it is not Christmas without those 3 songs.
Add the Waitresses "Christmas Wrapping" to the list of different Christmas emotions.
Green Day has an excellent Christmas punk song with a great positive message I think you’ll enjoy. Green Day Xmas Time of The Year it’s called
Billy Squier…Christmas is a time to say I love you 👍🏻
If you want more traditional Christmas fare, I recommend checking out a singer named Bing Crosby. He was a crooner, and movie star, from my Grandfather's age. The man had pipes of gold, and his album "Merry Christmas," (1947, aka."White Christmas") is pretty much The classic American Christmas album (especially in my family). His are the standard versions that everyone else covers. You can't really go wrong with anything from there. He also did a duet with David Bowie of " The Little Drummer Boy," and that should be on here for sure. He is long gone, and from a bygone age; but he had a magic voice, and his Christmas album is a good place to start.
All the old Christmas songs sound good and put you in the spirit but I have to hear this songs much more. It is definitely on the top of those songs for me )
Did you catch that it's the singer telling the story of when he got mugged while playing Father Christmas? The "Think of the kid's who got nothing , while your drinking down your wine," line is him telling the gang that mugged him ' Here, take the money, I hope you choke on it.' This one is an old favorite. I also like John Lennon's "Happy Christmas (war is over,if you want it)", and Elvis' "Blue Christmas".
Interesting take, to me the song came across as the Kinks giving voice to the muggers as well as a huge part of society that goes ignored, along with their mindset, and their situation. They’re highlighting the social issues brought about by poverty (the gang of kids growing up in households with nothing, turning to crime and violence) and the hypocrisy of Christmas (the huge social inequality where the rich are celebrating to excess while the poor starve), and rebelling against the idea of Santa, a figure that’s giving presents when there are those that are really in need of money and to survive. I think it’s a really hard hitting song that really forces you to stop and consider things, great stuff.
Sorry, but you've missed the plot. The kids who mug the department store Santa, ARE the kids who have nothing. Ray Davies, and this song, are empathizing with these children, so hungry and desperate that they resort to mugging Santa Claus. The Santa, and the department store that employs him, are symbols of corporate greed and excess. Davies, and his gang of slum kids, are kicking them right in the teeth.
@@AJ-sd1ll You've absolutely nailed it.
And for another unusual rock Christmas song, please react to "2000 Miles" by the Pretenders.
i was just about to mention this song. You beat me to it.
It was a political statement. I met the Kinks in the '90's in a small venue in Barnsley, Yorkshire.
the Kinks weren't a punk band although I can see how they're equated as such and I'm sure influenced future Punk bands.Listen to early Kinks like "Well rRspected Man"
I hate punk but absolutely love this Christmas song. It's fab.
GOD SAVE THE KING ! AND ... GOD THE KINKS !
very good commentary for a very different kind of Christmas song.
This song foreshadowed Ray’s own experience-he got beat up (shot, actually) because he didn’t hand it over (went running after the mugger to recover his valuables which were in his female companion’s purse) in New Orleans in 2004. Afterwards said it didn’t make him hate America, but made him want to understand it even more.
Kinks, way ahead of their time, musically and lyrically, thank god they came into my life.
You might like Lynyrd Skynyrd's Santa's Messin' With The Kid for some cool Southern Rock Christmas
The Kinks were so much fun. They made music fun, were not the brooding in depth type. They made music...fun. Listen to Superman. Not really punk, just a goofy band.
They actually invented punk in 1964.
Check out "I BELIEVE IN FATHER CHRISTMAS " by Greg Lake. Its the best.❤❤❤❤
No, it is not "punk". It is intelligent social critique, which Ray Davies had been doing since the 1960s.
You have to do Waterloo Sunset
Actually, I think Happy Xmas was the first protest Christmas song.
Listen to happy Christmas by our boy John Lennon
Food banks, energy bills poor 8:03
Ray is a consummate cynic. 😌
Well, if this one is something you've never heard before then you don't want to hear "The Night Santa Went Crazy" by Weird Al Yankovic.
Another good Christmas song is "The Season's Upon Us" by the Dropkick Murphys. 😉👍. ruclips.net/video/qTx-sdR6Yzk/видео.html
Another "angry" Christmas song is Uncle Bernie's Farm by Frank Zappa.
I thought this was going to be Father Christmas Do Not Touch Me by the Goodies which is a comedy song wrong on so many levels at once
It’s proto-punk
It's punk? What?
I can hear this tune every day It is saying to hell with u U rich bustard ive us money lots of it
My favourite Christmas song
