Let's Talk Politics at Christmas Dinner (Obscure 60s Soul)
This obscure Christmas classic, pressed on vinyl and lost in Motown lore, "Let's Talk Politics At Christmas Dinner," was the brainchild of Leroy "Side Eye" Johnson, a soulful crooner with a knack for controversy. Recorded in 1968 during a late-night eggnog-fueled studio session, Leroy's track bizarrely name-dropped Trump and "woke nonsense," claiming it was revealed in a dream involving a magical Christmas tree. The record tanked, as families preferred eggnog over arguments, but it lives on as the weirdest holiday relic of the soul era.
Lyrics:
Oh yeah
It’s Christmas time, y’all.
We got ham on the table,
we got pies in the air,
But here comes cousin Lisa
with her woke-*ss flair!
Here come Lisa,
walkin’ through the door,
Talkin’ ’bout “the patriarchy”
while her soy latte pours.
Uncle Joe just rolled his eyes
and passed the greens,
But Lisa says, “Meat is murder!
You know what that means!”
Now Aunt Carol’s tryna mediate,
talkin’ ’bout peace,
But Lisa’s on her soapbox
about abolishing police.
Grandpa’s in the corner
with a look on his face,
Sippin’ on his whiskey,
ready to put her in her place.
Let’s talk politics at Christmas dinner!
It’s the war on Christmas,
but the gravy’s thinner!
Bring your slogans, bring your memes,
Grandpa’s got his MAGA dreams!
Let’s talk politics at Christmas dinner!
Lisa’s boyfriend Chett showed up
in sandals and a scarf,
He says, “Grandpa, your lawn gnomes
are white supremacy art.”
Now Grandpa laughed, said
“Boy, take a seat.
You don’t pay rent,
but you lecture me?!”
Then Lisa stood up shoutin’
“You’re a fascist pig!”
Grandpa said, “Calm down, princess.
Go smoke your cig.”
Chett yelled, “We’re allies!”
with a tear in his eye,
Grandpa said, “Allies?
Hell no, I’m America’s guy!”
Let’s talk politics at Christmas dinner!
It’s the wokest roast
since the turkey dinner!
Lisa’s got feelings, Chett's got stress,
But Grandpa’s here, yellin’ ‘F*** your BS!’
Let’s talk politics at Christmas dinner!
Ooooh, yeah... pass the cornbread, baby...
Pass the cornbread, don’t pass the blame…!
Then Grandma stood up,
said, “Y’all sit down!
Ain’t nobody here
gonna ruin my crown.”
She said, “This pie’s not vegan,
this ham ain’t woke,
But I slaved in the kitchen,
so shut up, you folks!”
The room went silent,
you could hear a pin drop,
Except for Grandpa’s chuckle
and a champagne pop.
Lisa pouted,
Chett packed up his tote,
And Grandpa muttered,
“There goes my liberal vote.”
Don’t talk politics at Christmas dinner!
The ham’s too sweet
for your bitter inner sinner!
Leave the hashtags at the door,
Pass the pie, we’ll settle the score.
Don’t talk politics at Christmas dinner!
Hallelujah! Pass the mashed potatoes…
And keep your damn opinions off my plate!
