Santa In Meh Bed | QP | KMP Music

Christmas is Calypso too; this is the music of QP and his offering for Christmas 2012 is titled 'Santa In Meh Bed'. Now just the name of the song makes one smile and wonder 'what de hell is Santa doing in QP's bed'? Christmas and Santa Clause is coming... now those are lyrics to make one smile but then again when QP sings about Santa coming down the chimney I know he was not singing about Christmas in Trinidad. However, when it comes to Calypso compositions expect the unexpected.  In this case one has to wonder about the demands of this Santa in QP's bed - a very demanding Santa!

Lyrics:
There is a story in this song. It is obvious the writer attempted to put some humor when he wrote this song. At the same time an attempt was made to keep the spirit of Christmas entwined in the composition. 

Vocal Performance:
QP's vocals were strong and his diction excellent. I did not have any problems understanding the vocals. The pace of the vocals was just right and complimented a well written musical endeavor. 

Musicality/Production:
The music is strong and captures the spirit of Christmas with wonderful work on the guitar and the rhythm section. There is Calypso and elements of parang in this one. This production is strong in every musical note played. 

Replay Worthiness/Lasting Appeal:
In terms of replay worthiness this one is a difficult are for anyone producing music with a Christmas theme. Carnival music is now entrenched in the culture of society from early September straight into Carnival the following year. You will have to depend on WACK Radio to hear this one played on a regular basis. In terms of lasting appeal I am sure this song will be played for many years to come.  

The bottom line is that this is a song that fits into a niche market. Not many artists are singing songs dedicated for the festive Christmas season. Yes we have parang, parang soca and even chutney Christmas Soca songs but a good Christmas song with a Calypso theme is not common. This song may be on its own for this Christmas - we have to wait and see. To end I will give this selection my thumbs up!
