Song Saturday (on a Sunday) - Christmas edition

[shadowhive]

So it’s the song Saturday before Christmas so. I thought about doing Christmas songs… but couldn’t think of any yesterday so…

Watch on YouTube

First is Set It Off, This Christmas. (Warnings for snakes and, eww, spiders)

So I didn’t know Set It Off had a Christmas song until the last music stream before Maxx’s move. He played a bit of the video, but I didn’t see too much. The band aren’t in it alas and the video is basically a bad Santa messing up Christmas. Think nightmare before Christmas but the screw ups are intentional.

But yeah the song itself is pretty dark too, so it’s definitely not a traditional Christmas song.

Fun fact! I found out recently that Kill The Lights are on Fearless Records, the same label as Set It Off. So that means Maxx and Jay have a link together (albeit extremely tenuous) so someone fic them yes?

On the other end of the Christmas song scale…

Watch on YouTube

Ok Every Snowflake’s Different isn’t technically about Christmas but it’s about snowflakes which is seasonal. Plus it has Ray being all grinning and bouncy. It’s just a cute, ridiculous little song and it’s so different to what they’d usually do… but it captures a good message which fits them.

Friday proved to be a little better. I was pretty tired from the jab and my arm was achy, but I was able to catch the Fringe ep I missed. The rest of the day was uneventful and I ended up watching Ranboo’s stream of the new five nights at Freddy’s until I got so tired.

Saturday was another pretty lazy day. When we came back from walking the pup there was a package with a card from a friend, which also included Cadence Of Hyrule! So I’m gonna try and give that a go sometime today, since my arm was aching and tiredness from the jab still.

Since I was tired I dozed in the afternoon, after watching Johnny English Reborn on itv which was pretty funny. Then we watched superman and Lois and the new weakest link which was pretty funny.

Strictly was a little odd in the way that they were one couple down and that both couples were ones we’d been rooting for the whole show. I’m not surprised by who won though.

Today is hopefully gonna be another lazy day, even though the tv seems a little bleh today so I’m likely gonna watch stuff on catch up/Netflix and such.

Plus I’m hoping to finish the fic I started after the wine stream (and hopefully game).

Gee's little faaaaaaaaaaaace! *squishes it*

[shadowhive]

I know!

And speaking of his lil face, new pic of him just dropped

[kat_lair]

Adorable! (but also, pls take care of your hair Gee)

[shadowhive]

I just wanna smush him 🖤

[turlough]

He looks hilarious! The Ways really can't grow a proper beard :-)

[dreamersdare]

Song Saturday on a Sunday, you rebel :)

These look intriguing. I shall save them for later when Mr DD is not engrossed in the Witcher...

[shadowhive]

Heee it’s not the first time and won’t be the last mwhahaha!

Ohh lemme know what you think! I’ve still not seen more than the first ep of that, oop

[dreamersdare]

So, the Set it Off one basically sums up how I feel about Christmas (seriously, Christmas, do fuck off). Nice song though, reminds me of some of the later Panic stuff, if I'm honest.

The Snowflake song is ridiculous. But apparently made for a tiny kids TV show, so that explains it. Highlights that they are all just giant dorks though :)

I... couldn't get into Witcher. Worked out the S1 plot twist very quickly and it just left me cold, if I'm honest. He likes it though (and there does seem to be a man who likes tying up and torturing people with fire in this season, which is relevant to my interests, except I have no idea what is going on, so it loses some of it's impact :D).

[shadowhive]

Aww I can relate, Christmas is… an odd time of year, especially lately. Oh yay! They’re so awesome

Yeah! I think it’s yo gabba gabba? But I’ve never seen it

Aww that’s a shame. I only watched the first ep cause my dog went crazy over Rowch (she loves horses) but ohhh nice

[dreamersdare]

It's just... not for me. Like, for those that enjoy it, rock on with your bad selves. But stop harassing the rest of us with it. I buy presents for the little kids (and switch to money once they're old enough to appreciate it) because presents matter to kids, and send a card to my parents to avoid bitching. Oh, and food, because my other half wants to do food - I'd do beans on toast, honestly.

Is it an American show? I've never heard of it

Ha, the Brian goes crazy over horses too, but not for the same reason...

[shadowhive]

Oh yeah I get what you mean. I think what enjoys me most about it is Christmas stuff starts showing up in October or even earlier and I’m like wtf! Christmas stuff shouldn’t be around before Halloween. And yeah, it all gets to be a bit much. I’d rather just bundle up and have regular food but nup

I think so. I’ve only heard of it, not seen it

Uh oh!

[carrythefire]

Cadence Of Hyrule ♥️♥️ let me know what you think! Glad it arrived safely

[shadowhive]

Thanks, you’re so sweet, and the dragon card was so cute

I gave it a go last night and I can tell it’s gonna take a bit of getting used to, but I can definitely see how you can keep going back to it. And I do love the music

[carrythefire]

Give it a try on fixed beat mode first. I would also recommend starting with Link, he is a little easier than Zelda earlier on since he has a shield!

[shadowhive]

I think I’ve got a hang of the movement after a few tries, I’m just figuring out where everything is. I seem to stumble on random caves full of hard enemies unexpectedly!

Yeah that’s who I did start with! The last time I was on it I unexpectedly unlocked skull kid too

[turps]

I love Snowflake so much! Even more so because it was just so different from them, and yet, it seemed so right too as they were performing. All their outfits. Just, so much love for this.



I'm glad things are looking up a little. Hopefully, they'll continue to do so.

[shadowhive]

Yeah they look so cute🖤

Aww thank, I hope so too

[turlough]

I hope your arm isn't sore any longer!

I hope you'd a nicely relaxing Sunday!

[shadowhive]

Yeah it’s much better today thankfully!

We ended up watching come dine with me and then White Christmas so that was fun
