it doesn't apply until the day after Christmas, at which Christmas music is no longer played.

Because between 1996 and 2011, he's made more than enough novelty records, without making an Xmas one too.

I didn't know he read X-Men comics.

Lyrically true but it's still considered Prince's one and only Christmas song (it's even in the title!). It was released November 28, 1984 just in time for the Christmas holiday season. I think Prince knew he was releasing a Christmas song at the time, unorthadox though it is. Now if the OP means Prince never sang a song like "All I Want for Christmas is You", "Please Come Home for Christmas", or "This Christmas" or even a version of "O Holy Night" then I get the point. But I don't agree that Prince never wrote a song for Christmas.

How about 4 The Tears In Your Eyes?

Snowman(unreleased) is a Christmas song.

I hate Christmas songs.

Bunch of grinches up in here

Another Lonely Christmas counts. He didn't release it in June. He released it around Xmas because it's his twisted take on the Xmas song.

i think Pussy Control is very christmasee

I love this exPlanation, which is to a 'T'. Almost scientific Now that's paying attention

Almost being the operative word, and wrong being a more appropriate one, because inosofar as scientific method can be applied to the celebration of the birth of the alleged son of an unprovable deity, then we should take the facts (such as they are) into account.

And the facts are that the celebration known as Christmas lasts from the 25th December (when the alleged Jesus was allegedly born) until 6th January, when the alleged 3 wise men turned up to pay their respects.

So what errant is referring to as the day after Christmas is still actually Christmas.

And even if it weren't, correct me if I'm wrong here, but doesn't the lyric go

"Then you died on the 25th day of December"

How is that after Christmas?

And I wonder what country is it where Christmas music is no longer played after Christmas day? Because I want to move there. They play Christmas music here from about the end of October until the end of January, and I really, really wish they wouldn't.

So therefore, finally, Another Lonely Christmas does count as a Christmas song.

Bah humbug.

it's for all the people who are alone, grieving, who feel alienated from the festivities, so it's definitely about xmas. it's a very touching song that many people can relate to.

Don't blame me, I didn't invent Christmas, I'm merely relaying the facts.

Besides, the more relevant point is the lyrics of the song, which relate to 25th December - which is generally accepted as being Christmas day. So I don't see how it can be argued that it's not a Christmas song.

I don't understand this stupid goddamn thread. Christmas music sucks. Why would anyone want Prince to write any? And why doesn't Another Lonely Xmas count? What the fuck do the X-Men have to do with anything. Anyway, Belle of St. Mark is kinda Christmasy. Sleighbells and all that shit.

oh my god, the more I read Effan's post, the harder I laugh!

In the music business, you will come across one scrooge, and he is it

And I haven't even mentioned the yearly ritual of trying to clap in time to Jethrol Tull's "Ring Out, Solstice Bells"!!!
