BAH & THE HUMBUGS: BIGGER THAN SANTA
A 25th Anniversary Humbug Tribute

Featuring Humbugs songs performed by the following bands:



THE TWINKLERS

Throw It Down the Chimney

The Twinklers know how to blow the roof off the house with explosive riffs and earth-shaking beats -- but they choose not to.  For more than four decades -- albeit with several complete changeovers in membership along the way -- the Twinklers have been synonymous with smooth, melodic tales of Christmas cheer.  "We sing the kind of Christmas music that we ourselves would like to hear, if we hypothetically were to have time to listen to Christmas music," explained Twinklers bassist and vocalist Bob Miller, who also happens to be an electrical engineer with extensive blow-off-the-roof knowhow.  "With all the commercials and the video games, there's already enough noise going on at Christmas time."

For "Bigger Than Santa," the Twinklers took the Humbugs' foot-stomping anthem "Throw It Down the Chimney" and turned it down a notch, revealing a smooth, catchy number with a bright, funky groove. 


Throw It Down the Chimney

(Aster)

We hammered and sawed and we made lots of noise
Kept going 'til we had about a trillion toys
We made them for the little girls and boys
Next thing we hammered together a sleigh
Signed up some reindeer to take it away
With our good friend Santa who has something to say
Here's what Santa say

Throw the bag down the chimney
Throw the bag down the chimney
Go!

Santa's quick as a week when he has something to do
And when the reindeer got going they really flew
They went coast to coast in an hour or two
Stepping on rooftops, slanted or flat
Santa drops of the goods, but he can't stay and chat
The reindeer would all let him know about that
Here's what the reindeer say

Throw the bag down the chimney
Throw the bag down the chimney
Throw the bag down the chimney
Throw the bag down the chimney
Go!

Go, go Santa, go
Go, go Santa, go
Here's what the children say

Throw the bag down the chimney
Throw the bag down that chimney
Throw the bag down the chimney
Throw the bag down that chimney
