“Santa, Santa, What’s in the Bag?” b/w “Let’s Make Nice”
2012
John Powhida’s ability to write a twisted power pop tune is legendary. The man has now set his sights on the holiday season with “Santa, Santa, What’s in the Bag?” It’s classic J-Po with witty lyrics, a snappy backbeat, hand claps and a big pop hook. The festive number is topped off with a riotous guitar solo, glockenspiel, sleigh bells and some holiday sneer to ensure it gets regular play through the end of the year. “Let’s Make Nice” is a send up of the traditional holiday duet with Amy Correia as the reason for J-Po’s blue Christmas. Merry JPx-mas!*
