Story Behind The Song
I took Bonnie Hayes writing workshop and she had us write a song a week. This was one and I also put a video up on Youtube. Hope to update for 2013.
Song Description
Well sometimes the Holidays just gets to be too much and people can get into a funk. And then I did some research and it seemed no one had written a song about it, or used the title, so why not?

Lyrics
Holiday Funk
Verse 1-
Well its comin' again, ain't no denyin' it
You can feel it in the air
Catalogs start fillin' up, my poor mailbox
Admit I can't help but stare
Some come with free offers, easy for tryin' it
Gotta' be some catch somewhere
Nothin' comes for nothin', Can't solve this paradox
Got my guard up, know it can't be fair
Chorus-
Every year the same Yule cheer
The kids can't seem to wait
All appears to keep me in arrears
That's the part I really Hate,
I got the Holiday Funk, It's the Holiday Funk
Verse 2-
Of course I cave in, be a mellow fellow
Though Scrooge is my patron Saint
Family decided to cut down a real tree
Excited? Well I just ain't
Uncle Frank warned us, "Don't eat the yellow snow"
Whole thing makes me wanna faint
I know when we get there, my breath will freeze
Gotta give into my fate.
Chorus-
Bridge-
All I want for Christmas is a super long vacation on a desert isle
You know the place I crave, where the spice trees grow
Aaaahh! Such a sweet balmy breeze
Will cure my Holiday Funk
Ad Lib out
