The Rude Awakening have released their second Christmas single. Following on from last year's 'O Holy Night', Johnny and Bridget are pleased as punch to present their take on 'Santa Baby', where Bridget asks Santa to fill her stocking with her favourite Synthy hardware this year...
lyrics
Santa Baby, just slip a keyboard under the tree,
For me.
Been an awful good girl, Santa baby, So hurry down the chimney tonight.
Santa baby, a Roland, Korg and Behringer too
in blue.
I'll wait up for you dear, Santa baby, So hurry down the chimney tonight.
Think of all the fun I've missed,
Think of all the shiny knobs I haven't pressed.
Next year I could be just as good,
If you'll bring me all the synths on my Christmas list.
Santa baby, I want a PolyBrute and that's not, a lot
Been an angel all year,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.
Santa honey, there’s a little thing that I need
Can’t wait
To run my fingers over a Cobalt-8,
So hurry down the chimney tonight.
Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with an Arturia,
A Teenage Engineering will do pour moi
So hurry down the chimney tonight.
Come and trim my Christmas tree,
With boxes making noises bought from PMT.
or Gear4Music or Thomann store,
They’re the kind of presents that I just adore
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing,
in vogue.
Oh to get my hands on a Moog,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.
Hurry down the chimney tonight.
Hurry, tonight.

THE RUDE AWAKENING is an intriguing synth act from the UK that expands on the substratum that Synth and Post-punk pioneers Gary Numan, PiL, Soft Cell and OMD began building in the early 1980’s.
On their 10th record, the Glasgow-based group serves up more wonderfully menacing, gothy synthpop, perfect for dungeon dancing. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
