This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me
A partridge in a pear tree
On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Three french hens, two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Four calling birds, three french hens,
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Five golden rings
Four calling birds, three french hens,
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
What's a partridge, and what's a pear tree?
Well I don't know so please don't ask me
But I can bet those are terrible gifts to give
On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Six geese a laying, five golden rings
Four calling birds, three french hens
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Seven swans a swimming,
Six geese a laying, five golden rings
Four calling birds, three french hens
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the eighth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming,
Six geese a laying, five golden rings
Four calling birds, three french hens
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming
Six geese a laying,
Four calling birds, three french hens
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
What's a partridge, and what's a pear tree?
Well I don't know so please don't ask me
But I can bet those are terrible gifts to give
On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Ten lords a leaping, nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming
Six geese a laying, dof-men-gose-reens
Four, three french (pop!)
Two doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a leaping, nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming,
Six geese a laying, five golden rings
Four calling birds, three french hens
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Twelve drummers drumming eleven pipers piping
Ten lords a leaping, nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming
Six geese a laying, five golden rings
Four calling birds, three french hens
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
A partridge in a pear tree
On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Three french hens, two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Four calling birds, three french hens,
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Five golden rings
Four calling birds, three french hens,
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
What's a partridge, and what's a pear tree?
Well I don't know so please don't ask me
But I can bet those are terrible gifts to give
On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Six geese a laying, five golden rings
Four calling birds, three french hens
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Seven swans a swimming,
Six geese a laying, five golden rings
Four calling birds, three french hens
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the eighth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming,
Six geese a laying, five golden rings
Four calling birds, three french hens
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming
Six geese a laying,
Four calling birds, three french hens
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
What's a partridge, and what's a pear tree?
Well I don't know so please don't ask me
But I can bet those are terrible gifts to give
On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Ten lords a leaping, nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming
Six geese a laying, dof-men-gose-reens

Four calling birds, three french hens
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Twelve drummers drumming eleven pipers piping
Ten lords a leaping, nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming
Six geese a laying, five golden rings
Four calling birds, three french hens
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Ha, ha, this song is so whacky, but I soo need it instead of the solemn choirs my dad sometimes plays at Christmas time I wish it was always Christmas and never winter :)
what a song. lol
my niece makes me play this song every time she comes to see me. she's 4. but i guess there's not much to say about it since we all know what it means. most of us have been singing it since kindergarten.
heh, this song is great and I love relient k's sarcasm :)
i actually enjoy listening to this song even if we are in the middle of the year.... =D
Haha, I love this song, I love the part that says "what's a partridge, and what's a pear tree? well I don't know so please don't ask me but I can bet those are terrible gifts to give"....funny
I've never heard a version quite like this before! Best one by far though!
this song means garbage to me... who the freak would sing the 12 days of christmas in rock? These guys have no musical talent whatsoever and they don't ever know what a partridge is? or a pear tree?!?!
Haha, this song deserves way more cred. Relient K are so brilliant lyrically and musically. They turned a song that normally would cause people to pass out, fall asleep or bore someone into the grave into an amazingly witty and BEARABLE one, with 'rocking-ness' to boot!
imrighturwrong1...are you a troll, or are you just retarded? If the former is the case, than get out of here. Freaking trolls. If the latter is the case, than you're retarded.
