Review of The Sound of Young America Holiday Special 2007
Catchy pop tunes with sly lyrics, and dead-pan humour, all wrapped up in a tonge-in-cheek Christmas package. Good fun, easy to listen to, and some laugh out loud moments make this a really great alternative to the saccharine programming that pops up at this time of year.
