Day 22

Santa Claus Goes Straight to the Ghetto by #JamesBrown

Bonus: Ain’t No Chimneys in the Projects by #SharonJones&theDapKings

Day 22 of the Underplayed Christmas Carol Advent Calendar. James Brown’s Santa Claus Goes Straight to the Ghetto. We see the man pictured in a Santa suit smiling and pumping his arms standing in an urban project apartment under the balcony of festively decorated with Christmas lights with a banner that says Gangster wrapper. A gangster Santa states from the window and Sharon Jones stands on the balcony. A rapper Santa with an elf drives a slay. There’s a Bonus sticker and more graffiti writing that reads “Ain’t no Chimneys in the Projects” by Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings.

Yesterday’s selection by the Sonics heavily borrows (rips-off) Chuck Berry’s Too Much Monkey business, but today we highlight a fellow member of the inaugural class of the Rock Hall, Mr James Brown. Brown grew up in a whore house in Georgia, and Sharon Jones grew up in the projects of the same city, Augusta Georgia. Brown helped make funk music Professor Longhair innovated along with rock and roll, the Bach of Rock, and Brown took it mainstream despite coming from this outsider, impoverished-by-white-design ghetto. Both these songs celebrate people who sometimes feel left out of the typical Santa story by staking their own claim to chimney-free homes. Sharon Jones mainly wrote this song based on her personal experience and it’s a beautiful story of love between a mother and daughter rich in spirit if not money for toys. Brown brings the good times and fun showing you don’t have to have a lot to have a lot of fun. Side note: some family friends used to decorate their tree every year to James Browns Soul Christmas album, sometime in Dec, on the lead up to the big day. The one year they didn’t, 2006, James Brown died on Christmas Day. Part of me has never forgiven them.
