One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded: “Christmastime At My House” by Da Yoopers!!!

For as long as I’ve been on the radio, and definitely for as long as I’ve been writing a blog, I will occasionally make a reference to a song being “One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded!” (GSER)

I would usually follow that by saying that I would eventually start a category for it, but then never get around to it.

Well, now I’m getting around to it!

My radio show, “Theme Attic,”  is on Wednesdays 12PM-4PM ET.

The show can be heard on WHFR 89.3 FM in the Dearborn-Detroit area of Michigan, or it can be streamed with this link: https://www.whfr.fm/streamer/!

The Greatest Songs will pretty much follow the pattern of The Most Awesomest Song of the Day.

I’ll select a song to celebrate and then give my thoughts about it. Nothing really brand new here that hasn’t been done before. But since I have a website, I can collect them and lay out what my own greatest songs are.

Here’s a link to have a look at “The Greatest Songs Ever Recorded”: https://philmaq.com/the-greatest-songs-ever-recorded/! Occasionally, an “awesome song” crosses over to become a “Greatest Song!”

Even though I always emphasize new music and artists, it’s always fun to take a short drive through the legendary artists, since they influenced those other artists!

But a song doesn’t have to be old or done by a legendary Theme Attic Hall of Fame member to be thus honored.

I can think of several songs that are only a few years old or less that I could identify as One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded.

This will be fun, and hopefully you will join me on my journey!

What would Christmas be without some silly irrevent songs?

Not much fun, that’s for sure!

So, today I have selected a very happy, “Christmastime At My House” by Da Yoopers from their “One Can Short of a Six Pack!”

A “yooper” is a nickname that residents of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan proudly wear, as they consider themselves uniquely rugged individuals removed from “normal” society, since the U.P. (short for Upper Peninsula. “Yoop” for short. Get it?) is so remote from most population centers.

Surviving as a band for more than thirty years, Da Yoopers have parlayed their identity into a career that even “fudgies” can understand!

A “fudgie” is another nickname given to tourists who only visit Macinac Island for the world renowned fudge sold there!

Ok. I’ll stop with the Michigan slang!

However, “Christmas Time At My House” is a cheesy–meaning low-tech, song.

As a rule, Da Yoopers usually reside in cheesy songs, but it’s still one of the greatest!

It’s about a Christmas party that is way more fun than the ones you or I throw!

False teeth are put on trees, kids are on a sugar buzz, and they even shove coins down someone’s big butt crack!

It wouldn’t be Christmas in my own house without this song!

And everyone, young and old, laugh at it!
