MAGIC         PORK

A while back, I posted about Grand Buffet. I haven’t been following them much since then, but looks like they came out with a new full-length album this year. I’ve listened to snippets of some of the tracks on Amazon and their sound is a little different. Not sure if I’ll like it as much as what I’ve heard from them before but I’ll probably give it a try.

The reason I’m thinking of Grand Buffet is that I was listening to them the other day in the car. During their song “Stocking Stuffer”, I heard one of the same rhymes that was used in “Maggie May”, which I critiqued in my previous post. They rhyme “pool” with “school” but in their case the lyrics make sense and don’t feel forced. So I thought I should post the lyrics to this song as an example of good lyrics. It’s a short song. Here they are:

Stocking Stuffer

Santa Claus once picked me up after school
We had some drinks, we shot some pool
Told me that he’s not a one woman man
He’s got a few, they understand
Over some dinner we talked about things
He ordered ribs, I got some wings
He said he fancied the girl in my life
Asked me if she could be his for a night
How could I say no to old Saint Nick?
He fills up my stocking with beautiful gifts

Santa Santa Santa
Got my girlfriend pregnant this Christmas
That’s not what I had on top of my wish list
Santa Santa Santa
Had a one night stand with my lady
This Christmas Santa Claus gave me a baby
