One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded: “Mrs. Claus Got the Blues” by The Teen Angels!!!

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 1PM-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!

We’ve heard all of the songs about how wonderful Santa Clause is!

Yeah, well it turns out he’s just an ordinary guy underneath that Christmas veneer, with his own set of unique problems.

Told from the perspective of his wife, “Mrs. Clause Got the Blues” (I’m not even sure that’s the correct title. It’s what’s listed on the youtube video.) by The Teen Angels, a Detroit blues/rock band, has got the goods on “Mr. Jolly.”

Apparently, all of that stuff can get on your nerves if you’ve gotta live with the guy for the rest of the year!

It’s not a politically sensitive song. It’s from the nineties if my memory’s correct.

But any song that features reindeer pooh, as well as an image of Mrs. Claus having to wash lipstick off of his uniform–something you or I may never think about, is a nice break from the usual repetitive Christmas offerings!

One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded is “Mrs. Claus Got the Blues” by The Teen Angels (Detroit)!!!
