Goodbye Psychotic Christmas by My Son the Bum


Christmas Single from My Son the Bum

"When I was in California (Pacific Palisades near Malibu Beach, Santa Monica, Venice Beach, Southern California...near Hollywood..etc)

during eleventh grade, my friend's would give me a few beers, drive around and let me totally blaspheme the songs playing on the radio...


A few times, I asked. what are we doing? Their answer was, 'we're giving you beer and drive around with you blasting fun of the radio songs playing...that's funny! Ironically, that's exactly it came to me to write 'Goodbye Psychotic Christmas'....except I was alone in the car late at night, and stone cold sober! Pulling into the Adelphi University parking lot (here in New York), I was listening to a Gene Vincent tune called 'Important Words'....a soft rockabilly love song....I started singing out loud: 'Goodbye Psychotic Christmas, I don't need you anymore'....I wrote it in my college notebook.


Some years later, in August 2013, I was demoing songs with Mike Wuerth (the vocalist/producer on the tune)...One of these was 'Goodbye Psychotic Christmas'...It remained unfinished until November 2017 when a DJ from a New York College Radio Station asked me for a new Christmas song. As fate would have it, I was in the studio the next day...and 'Goodbye Psychotic Christmas' was finished in time for the holidays...I wanted an interesting animated lyric video for it, and it got done in the nick of time”.
