Yesterday I was looking through the visitor logs and saw that somebody got here by Googling “What is a Pudding Mix?” That’s a really good question. What is a Pudding Mix? I’ve always assumed it’s either 1) a reference to Christmas pudding, or 2) a metaphor, comparing the thickness of pudding to the comparatively dense remix of the song. Does anybody know for sure? If so, please leave us a comment.


This first song another one where we’ll need your help. Itunes has this rocking version from The Hairy Bottlers. The artwork appears to be a complete rip from 3 Feet Smaller’s out of print A Very Special Christmas Day on which there is no cover of “Last Christmas.” This song is often labeled as coming from 3 Feet Smaller. There are no other songs from the Hairy Bottlers on itunes, and we can’t seem to find a website for the band. So far, this little snippet in German is the only connection I can find, and I have no idea what it says before the name-calling, “Also in der derzeitigen A1 Werbung (Mobilfunknetz in Österreich) ist eine Punk Version des Klassikers Last Chrismas zu sehen. Der Stimme nach müsste es 3 Feet Smaller sein, jedoch steht auf deren Homepage, das der Song von einer Band aus England ist 3 Feet Smaller. Now something about the Last Christmas Cover. The song is preformed by The Hairy Bottlers from England. We found out who these guys are and we can tell that they are by far the biggest assholes we’ve ever talked to.”

“This album is a perfect blend of pop bounce and Christmas sweetness. Don’t expect the best vocalists in the world on this album, but more R&B singing style on most of these songs, but it’s very consistent. I’m listening to it right now and I’m on track 11 of 13 I believe…They know their limitations and strengths, which is evident on their cover of George Michael’s ‘Last Christmas,’ where their style sounds perfect on the track.” I love amazon.com reviews! They do the work for me.
