	1:17pm Brian C.: I think Now I Wanna Be Your Dog is a Christmas song because it has those sleigh bells in it
	1:19pm Tom from Stirling.: Jingle jangle Christmas orignally sung in Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol.
	1:21pm efd: Different "Jingle Jangle Christmas," @Tom

	1:34pm Judy: Oh shucks I missed it! What'id you say? Merry Christmas everybody!
	1:35pm Chris Crash: I just wanna say that "funktacular" is truly one of the finest words ever coined. I wanna hear everyone say it out loud.
	1:35pm efd: @Judy (aka Mom) - I was mentioning that there was a record label whose address was P.O. box in East Dennis!
	1:35pm Andres: The Guitars annual tradition is the part that brings a happy tear to my neighbour’s eye.
	1:35pm DJ Guin 🧛‍♂️: could the Whirling Dervishes 'hit' be in the future? or is that too WCBS?
	1:36pm efd: @DJ Guin very possible!
	1:36pm BH: "We're elves and we're here to abduct you"
	1:37pm Judy: Okay, that IS strange.
	1:40pm Chris Crash: RUSTY 🙄
	1:45pm DJ Guin 🧛‍♂️: So my overnighted COVID test is having its label printed. Should have been here already. The State of NJ would screw up a one car funeral procession.

	1:51pm Andrew Hollywood: takin care of christmas, santa's sleigh!
	1:52pm G: and workin overtime

	1:53pm pgalub: Ah, efd!
	1:53pm Mike Sin: Randy Bachman sounds younger on this Xmas version from 2014 than he did on the original '70s track!

	1:57pm LiXiviated Life: So is this Punk ? At first I think: No But then on second thought: Yes
	1:57pm Andres: I had to make a call, was put on hold and Mariah came on. Of course!
	1:57pm Paul C hey man is there a code for free download : On bandcamp
	1:58pm Paul C: Pardon the incoherent message. Is there a code for the free download for the very guitar Christmas on band camp?
	1:59pm captain beef fart: Midnight Oil's xmas
	2:00pm efd: @Paul C I don't think you need one, it's pay your own price, so I guess not technically "free" but you can pay zero.
	2:01pm steveo: I would try to give what I can afford since that's how the artists get paid
	2:03pm Sybil: Hi, efd! Third hour of the Funktacular is always worth the wait.
	2:04pm efd: @Sybil I'm feeling the pressure already!
	2:05pm LiXiviated Life: Christmas is a time to say, “ Let’s soak these dupes for every penny they got”
	2:07pm Paul C: Gotcha thanks guys!
	2:07pm skyline chili: Likin' the snowfall field.
	2:08pm ww: EFD- Unbelievable! The exact time you play BTO our son calls. You did your part, my man. You did your part. I guess this is why God invented playlists.....
	2:11pm skyline chili: Quick! Build a rip roaring fire in the fireplace!
	2:11pm efd: @ww the nerve!!
	2:12pm Cal Zone!: Happy Hollerdaze EFD!
	2:13pm Andrew Hollywood: amen, steveo.
	2:14pm Glistener MW: When this track appeared on VH1’s Pop-Up Video, I was quite surprised and saddened to find out that “despite his name, Confidence Man is actually cripplingly insecure.” :/
	2:16pm ww: EFD - well there is always next year!! Ya gotta luv xmas and your show is the pinnacle.
	2:19pm bradford: I love the name 'Santa's Disco Band'
	2:19pm HyperDose: That flute riff is siiiick!
	2:20pm brycepunk1: Evan, I hate Xmas music but somehow you've made it enjoyable. Thank you, and Merry Xmas!
	2:22pm efd: @brycepunk glad to be of service!

	2:32pm queems: 10 year old me and 34 year old me both approve of this
	2:33pm clarke: no, that was the dreaded Turntable #1
	2:33pm efd: yipes, clarke, was not aware of that. Definitely irk-worthy!
	2:33pm Daybreak & The Short-ish Week: This is when Clay Pigeon would play his “WOO!” audio clip.
	2:33pm herb.nyc: Was iffy on Hanson for Xmas. Now I like. Emotionally attached? Love?

	2:38pm clarke: HOWEVER, donnie could never come close to topping Ah Leah, sadly. but, glad to have that one.
	2:38pm Goyim in the AM: He missed a trick not doing a "Ah, Santa" song.
	2:38pm clarke: Ram On Tim!!
	2:39pm captain beef fart: All I got my wife for Christmas is a cat nativity scene and this song made me think of that for some reason
	2:39pm velvet frog: I was gonna guess Nik Kershaw
	2:41pm clarke: but Goyim - donnie I may not have missed Ah Santa - check out the title to this album
	2:41pm Daybreak & The Short-ish Week: Cl@m-digger: Here is your Boney M’s ‘Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ’ https://youtu.be/cmm1gt_2SkQ

	1:35pm Andres: The Guitars annual tradition is the part that brings a happy tear to my neighbour’s eye.

	1:57pm Paul C hey man is there a code for free download : On bandcamp

	1:59pm captain beef fart: Midnight Oil's xmas
	2:00pm efd: @Paul C I don't think you need one, it's pay your own price, so I guess not technically "free" but you can pay zero.
	2:01pm steveo: I would try to give what I can afford since that's how the artists get paid
	2:03pm Sybil: Hi, efd! Third hour of the Funktacular is always worth the wait.

	2:19pm bradford: I love the name 'Santa's Disco Band'
