Title
Wasted on the Sleigh
Despite all the crap he has to put up with, Santa remains suspiciously jolly. We think we know why that is.
On an unrelated note, here's parody of Crosby, Stills and Nash's "Wasted on the Way."
Robert originally recorded this replicating CSN's instrumentation, but when we isolated the vocals we decided the a cappella version is, you know, more mellow, dude. Hence, that version appears both here and on the compilation The FuMP, Vol. 24: November-December 2010.
In 2025, we decided it was finally time to release the original, so look for the "Not-Cappella Version" on Christmas with The FuMP, Vol. 3.

Terrific as it always is from Spaff. I would have prefered some musicical background though. Perhaps Spaff will give me some for Christmas. The FUMP is a wonderful site. I envy the talent of every one of you artists.

You got me on that Jerry Garcia line.

Can't say much more than, "brilliant." Beautiful execution on the harmonies, too.

Oh man, Rob. This sounds so good that I was embarrassed when somebody caught me listening to it. Make of that what you will.

Pretty breathtaking. And a very sweet arrangement of the stereo mix of the various voices. Which I will now STEAL AND USE IN MY SONGS! Mwah-ha-ha!
