In this video, I'm diving into what might be the most gloriously bad Christmas album of all time: It's a Waffle House Christmas (2001 release)! This bizarre promotional CD from Waffle House features holiday classics twisted into greasy-spoon anthems, including gems like "The Waffle House 12 Days of Christmas," Waffle House-themed parodies, and some surprisingly soulful (or hilariously off-key) tracks about hashbrowns, scattered eggs, and open-all-night vibes.I'm reacting to the full album – cringing, laughing, and ranking just how bad (or weirdly charming) this Christmas music really is. If you're into terrible holiday songs, novelty albums, bad Christmas music reactions, or just love Waffle House memes, this is peak chaotic holiday content!From the legendary "Pac-Man Fever" duo Jerry Buckner & Gary Garcia contributions to Bill Anderson's own "Waffle House Christmas" vibes (though this is the full 2001 comp), watch me lose it over the absurdity. Does it capture the true spirit of Christmas at 3 AM in a booth? Or is it the ultimate holiday trainwreck?

00:00Hey, it's Joe from BKMTV Studios. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and...
00:04Oh, God! It's never gonna end, is it?
00:06The amount of novelty Christmas records.
00:09They'll make a Christmas song out of anything, won't they?
00:11And to prove that, a Waffle House Christmas.
00:15I'm from a place that doesn't even have Waffle Houses,
00:18but I know of the reputation that a Waffle House has.
00:21I didn't realize it was a festive place.
00:23I thought it was the type of place that had fights break out all the time.
00:27Wherever there's a fight in a Waffle House.
00:29When I was researching about Waffle House,
00:32one of the people who used to work there said,
00:35the rule is that you can fight in a Waffle House,
00:38but the people who work in a Waffle House hit back.
00:42They don't say that about Little Caesars.
00:44Nobody's ever said, hey, I'm gonna fuck you up at the Papa John's.
00:47Not happened.
00:48There's this famous Reddit post about the girl whose boyfriend goes to the Waffle House
00:54just to pick a fight with a Waffle House cook.
00:57And they fight over how the cook is making his eggs.
01:00They have physically fought six to seven times over this.
01:06After all, I'm the first impression of Waffle House a customer gets.
01:09But you can get very, very festive at the Waffle House.
01:13Which is what we're gonna do here today.
01:14And our first track is the old holiday standard,
01:17We Wish You a Merry Christmas.
01:19We wish you a merry Christmas.
01:21We wish you a merry Christmas.
01:23We wish you a merry Christmas.
01:26And a happy new year.
01:28And right off the bat, I'm a little disturbed.
01:30I don't know if this is a young boy singing to me,
01:33or an adult woman,
01:35or one of those weird mixtures,
01:36like your Christina Cavanaugh's,
01:39or your EG Daily's,
01:40who voice boy characters,
01:42but it's a girl.
01:43Glad tidings we bring
01:45to you and your kin.
01:47Glad tidings of Christmas
01:50and a happy new year.
01:52And they've already started making changes.
01:54Instead of figgy pudding,
01:56it's Christmas pudding.
01:57Bring us a Christmas pudding.
01:59Just bring us a Christmas pudding.
02:01Oh, bring us a Christmas pudding.
02:03Please bring it right here.
02:06So the people who've always asked,
02:08what's figgy pudding?
02:09You've won this round.
02:10Glad tidings we bring
02:12to you and your kin.
02:15Glad tidings for Christmas
02:17and a happy new year.
02:19All right.
02:20Do you agree with me in the comments
02:22this is some really,
02:23really stray singing.
02:24It sounds like Kermit the Frog.
02:26We won't go until we get some
02:28some Waffle House cheer.
02:30Finally, we have our Waffle House mention.
02:33We wish you a Merry Christmas
02:35and Waffle House cheer.
02:39We're talking about the Waffle House
02:41because this is a Waffle House Christmas
02:43and it's just what you should be expecting.
02:45Hey!
02:46What?
02:47You got something to say?
02:49Say it.
02:50But just know that when you do,
02:51you'll be back working
02:52the midnight shift at Waffle House.
02:53Our next track,
02:54they're going to stick
02:55with all the cliché choices.
02:57We're going to get a little
02:58Santa Claus is Coming to Town.
03:01Santa Claus is coming to town.
03:05Santa Claus is coming to town.
03:08And it sounds a lot like
03:10Frankie Valli in the Four Seasons
03:12mixed in with a little Beach Boys.
03:14He's making a list, checking it twice.
03:18Gonna find out who's naughty and nice.
03:22Santa Claus is coming to town.
03:27The type of cover you would hear on Nick Jr.
03:30You know, to sell classic songs to little kids.
03:33He suits you when you're sleeping.
03:37He knows when you're awake.
03:40Honestly, like, Muppets could be singing this right now.
03:44He knows if you've been bad or good.
03:47So be good for goodness sake.
03:51Better watch out.
03:53Better not cry.
03:55Cry, baby.
03:57Cry, baby.
03:59Which is something we know that big girls don't do.
04:02Santa Claus is coming to town.
04:06Santa Claus is coming to town.
04:09Wow.
04:10You guys really missed a golden opportunity there.
04:13You could have changed Santa Claus is coming to town
04:16to Santa Claus is coming to Waffle House.
04:19Waffle House is lots of it.
04:21Any way you want it.
04:21Fast.
04:22If you're going to make a Christmas CD about Waffle House,
04:25you better go for it.
04:26Don't half-ass this.
04:27So at this point,
04:28I'm kind of just listening to the music.
04:30And I think, all right,
04:32who even makes music like this?
04:34Waffle House basically has its own language.
04:37So if you glance over to the artist of this song,
04:40you know how I said this sounds like Frankie Valli?
04:42Well, you're listening to The Four Seasonings,
04:47which then led me down a rabbit hole
04:49known as Waffle House Records.
04:51So they have their own in-house music production
04:54for the Waffle House.
04:56In spite of my world travels,
04:57new to the wonders of the Waffle House
05:00and unfamiliar with its ways.
05:01There were records that parody popular styles,
05:06popular songs of the time period,
05:08and they did a lot,
05:10and I mean a lot,
05:11of Frankie Valli Four Seasons-type covers.
05:15Like this song,
05:16Raisins in My Toast.
05:25Have you ever heard
05:27Sherry, Sherry Baby,
05:30Sherry,
05:30Sherry Baby,
05:32and thought,
05:33boy,
05:33I wish this was about food.
05:35Then,
05:36you're an insane person,
05:37and probably also the record executive
05:39at Scotty Bros,
05:41that forced Weird Al to put out the food album.
05:43There are raisins in my toast.
05:50Raisin toast.
05:51I walked into the Waffle House
05:53and sat down at my seat.
05:56Took the menu over well,
05:57decided what to eat.
05:59Out came my little guys
06:01who winked at me and said,
06:03be sure to choose the raisin toast
06:05and hopped into the...
06:06Excuse me!
06:07You all didn't think I was going to let you leave
06:09without getting a cup of coffee now,
06:10did you?
06:12Why don't you order?
06:15You know we're good for you.
06:17Why don't you order?
06:19You know we taste great too.
06:21Come on and order.
06:23We'll sing and dance for you.
06:26Raisin toast is what we do.
06:29If you're energetic,
06:31a team player who possesses that ability
06:33to think on your feet,
06:34in all your life,
06:35people have always said
06:36that you're the friendliest person
06:37they've ever met
06:37and that you really know
06:39how to make people feel at home,
06:40then you're our kind of person.
06:42Our next track is
06:43Twas the Night Before Christmas.
06:45Twas the night before Christmas
06:47with no food in the house.
06:49I was hungry as I could be,
06:51so I decided to go out.
06:52And honestly,
06:53from doing just even a couple
06:55novelty Christmas records so far,
06:57I think everybody has done
06:59their own version of this story.
07:01The Crypt Keeper did it.
07:02What does Waffle House bring to this story?
07:05But who would be open
07:06this late on Christmas Eve?
07:07It only took a second
07:09to figure out who that'd be.
07:11So I slipped out my front door
07:13and jumped into my Cadillac
07:14and headed straight to Waffle House.
07:16You could hear my lips smack.
07:18Elvis?
07:19Why is Elvis narrating this?
07:21Huh.
07:22I would have thought you'd have
07:23like a party you'd be coming back from
07:25or some event
07:26that you wouldn't need to stop
07:27somewhere else to get food
07:28because you've got to be
07:29stuffed at this point, right?
07:31No.
07:31I guess there are people who
07:33are always hungry
07:34and that's why they end up
07:36at Waffle House
07:37on Christmas Eve.
07:38It's warm yellow glow,
07:39a beacon of hope
07:40and salvation,
07:41inviting the hungry,
07:42the lost,
07:43the seriously hammered
07:45all across the South
07:46to come inside.
07:47Though,
07:48in the Santa Claus,
07:49when do they end up
07:50on Christmas Eve
07:50after he burns the turkey?
07:51All right.
07:53Denny's.
07:53It's always open.
07:55I don't want to eat here.
07:58What are you talking about?
07:59Everybody likes Denny's.
08:00It's an American institution.
08:02I don't know.
08:03That just seems like
08:03the type of person
08:04to be here.
08:05That'd be like the scene
08:05in A Christmas Story
08:07where they're at
08:07the Chinese food restaurant
08:08because that's the only place open.
08:10I slid in the booth,
08:11the first one I could find,
08:13and picked up a menu.
08:14Now it was all mine.
08:16I looked it all over
08:17as a waitress approached.
08:19I said I'll take one of everything
08:20and an extra large Coke.
08:22At least they're embracing
08:23what the album is about,
08:24promoting Waffle House
08:26and trying to tie it
08:27into Christmas.
08:27So after all his hard work
08:29on Christmas Eve
08:29and with the amount
08:30of milk and cookies
08:32and, you know,
08:33those kids that are like,
08:34well, Santa's probably
08:35sick of milk and cookies.
08:36Maybe I leave them out
08:37a brownie
08:38or peanut butter crackers.
08:40Yeah,
08:40the outside the box thinkers.
08:43Santa's got to be full
08:44with all that.
08:45That's not the case.
08:46He's pulling up
08:47into the parking lot
08:48of his nearest Waffle House.
08:50Went out in the parking lot
08:52there arose such a clatter.
08:53I rolled out my seat
08:54to see what was the matter.
08:56I rolled both my eyes.
08:58Could this really be true?
08:59There was a fat little man
09:01in a bright red suit.
09:03He looked just like Santa.
09:04It just had to be.
09:06He had a twinkle in his eye
09:07when he smiled at me.
09:09Santa's need to fill up
09:10on waffles and grits,
09:12that's going to cause
09:13quite the commotion.
09:14Not your normal commotion
09:16where they say
09:16fights are constantly
09:18breaking out.
09:19No, just,
09:20oh my God,
09:21is that Santa
09:21and his reindeer?
09:23Does he bring his reindeer
09:24out of his leftovers?
09:25He ordered two waffles
09:26with bacon and grits
09:27and hash browns and eggs
09:29and he said,
09:30double size it.
09:31I mean,
09:31if I was like Comet
09:32or Cupid,
09:33I'd be kind of pissed
09:34if Santa came back outside
09:36and he didn't have
09:36a goodie bag for me.
09:38I'd be farting in his face
09:39the rest of the night
09:40out of spite.
09:40On Christmas morning,
09:42right there under the tree
09:43was a whole Waffle House
09:45apple pie with a card
09:46from Santa to me.
09:49Thank you very much.
09:50So,
09:51that actually was Elvis
09:54reading us the story.
09:55Last night I saw Elvis
09:58at the Waffle House.
10:00I saw Elvis.
10:02He was sitting in a booth
10:04checking his menu out.
10:06And this seems to be
10:07another thing
10:08that the Waffle House
10:10likes to do.
10:11I guess Elvis
10:12and the Waffle House
10:13have some sort of
10:14history together?
10:15Except not really.
10:16I couldn't really find
10:17anything through my research.
10:19But Waffle House Records?
10:20They are obsessed with Elvis.
10:33And if you just happen
10:35to see Elvis
10:36eating at a Waffle House,
10:37leave him alone.
10:38Let him enjoy his meal.
10:40Let him listen to his jams
10:41on the jukebox.
10:43I ain't kidding you, man.
10:44That was Elvis.
10:45I know him anywhere.
10:46Had his car turned up?
10:47No sunglasses on?
10:49He was driving
10:49to the sky himself.
10:51I know him anywhere, man.
10:52He ain't walking in there.
10:54I knew him.
10:55Heh heh.
10:55That was Elvis.
10:56Game fool of me.
10:58I know.
10:59I think he can tell
10:59that I ever saw.
11:00Track four is
11:02I'm Gonna See Santa Claus.
11:04Yeah,
11:04he's at the Waffle House.
11:05That's what the last song
11:06was about.
11:15Why does this song
11:16start off like
11:17Dream Police
11:18by Cheap Trick?
11:39Is there anything more cliche
11:41than bring my baby back to me
11:44as a Christmas subject?
11:46I think that's what
11:47the entire R. Kelly CD was about.
11:49When I wake up
11:50on Christmas day
11:52there's only one thing
11:53I'm gonna see
11:55My baby wrapped up
11:57with a thick red bow
11:59underneath my Christmas tree
12:04And putting your lover in a bow?
12:07Which is a strange concept
12:09because what are we talking about here?
12:11Are they in a state of undress
12:14and the bow is the only thing
12:15covering them up
12:16and it's attractive?
12:17Or is it like
12:19that kind of
12:21incestuous
12:22Folgers commercial
12:23where
12:23the sister
12:24puts
12:25a little bow
12:26at her brother
12:26and says
12:27You're my present.
12:28Is it that?
12:29And what's Santa supposed to do
12:30with this request
12:31to
12:32bring my baby back to me?
12:34What if your baby
12:35don't want to come back?
12:36Is Santa gonna have to do
12:37a kidnapping?
12:37The next track
12:38is the Waffle House
12:3912 Days of Christmas
12:41And at this point
12:42I don't know if the CD was wrong
12:44or I was wrong
12:45but I started confusing it
12:46with the next track
12:48Heading Home for the Holidays
12:49Because when I was listening
12:50to the Waffle House
12:5112 Days of Christmas
12:52I kept thinking
12:53This isn't the 12 Days of Christmas
12:55It has nothing even to do
12:56with Waffle House
12:57Heading home for the holidays
13:01Where the home fires still burn
13:03All I yearn
13:05For home on the holidays
13:09Yeah, it turns out
13:11I had the songs backwards
13:12So track five
13:13was actually
13:14Heading home for the holidays
13:15You can imagine
13:16my disappointment
13:17when I still thought
13:18this was the Waffle House
13:1912 Days of Christmas
13:20And I'm getting
13:21this kind of song
13:23But one thing's always there
13:25That's the love
13:26that we share
13:28I'm going home
13:30For Christmas this year
13:33A generic
13:34kind of country-sounding song
13:36Reminded me of when
13:37I was watching
13:38Hit Me Baby
13:38One More Time
13:39And Juice Newton performed
13:41This sounds like
13:42something she would have sang
14:07It's just a nice little Christmas song
14:10about somebody
14:11heading back to their hometown
14:13for the holidays
14:14And I was waiting
14:15for the twist here too
14:16Why am I listening
14:18to a sweet pseudo-country song
14:20that's pretty down the middle
14:22on an album
14:23about the Waffle House
14:25There was parts in the song
14:26where she's describing
14:28the journey of getting back home
14:29and what she's passing by
14:31And I thought
14:31Alright
14:32This is where we get
14:33the Waffle House mention
14:34No
14:35No mention of Waffle House
14:37Just mentions of family
14:38Just a few more miles
14:41to home
14:41in hot apple pie
14:43Pie
14:45Oh
14:45They talk about
14:46a specific type of house
14:48There's the steeple
14:50of the courthouse
14:51in the distance
14:53The courthouse
14:55That's not a Waffle House
14:57This isn't a courthouse Christmas
14:59Yes I remember
15:01sneaking down the stair
15:03to see if
15:04said in there
15:06I'm going home
15:07for Christmas
15:08this year
15:10Did they
15:11owe this woman
15:12a favor?
15:13This is another woman
15:14I looked up online
15:16who recorded
15:17multiple songs
15:18for Waffle House
15:19Some of them
15:20were disco songs
15:22When I get
15:23a great big thirst
15:25And my throat is dry
15:29I know I'll find
15:30the real thing
15:32at the yellow sign
15:36Disco songs
15:37about the Waffle House
15:38having Coca-Cola
15:40They've got a Coke
15:42for me
15:43At my favorite place
15:46Waffle House
15:47They've got a Coke
15:49for me
15:50With that old-fashioned taste
15:52Waffle House
15:54Okay somebody's
15:55gotta take the
15:56We got Coke
15:57We got Coke
15:58and
15:59The Waffle House
16:0012 days of Christmas
16:01is next
16:02And it gave me
16:03exactly what I wanted
16:04A menu
16:05Basically
16:06At the Waffle House
16:07on Christmas
16:08My true love
16:09gave to me
16:10A bowl of delicious
16:11hot gris
16:13Hot gris
16:14At the Waffle House
16:15on Christmas
16:16My true love
16:17gave to me
16:18Two waffles
16:22This menu
16:24just seems like
16:24somebody went
16:25to the Waffle House
16:26to carb load
16:26Five pork chops
16:28grilled

18:06T-bone steaks
18:07They want you
18:08friggin' dead
18:08Or
18:09Massively obese
18:10Track seven is
18:11I want to wish you
18:12a merry Christmas
18:13How come one?
18:14Just wish me
18:15a merry Christmas
18:15Or do a
18:16Merry friggin' Christmas
18:18Like you with a band
18:19Frickin' A
18:19And you're recording
18:20that novelty song
18:21for the Boston Red Sox
18:22Or
18:23I don't know
18:24Literally earlier
18:24Didn't you sing
18:25We Wish You a Merry Christmas?
18:27If William Hung
18:28can do it
18:29So can you
18:30The singer of this song
18:32is a guy named
18:32Eddie Floyd
18:33And he has R. Kelly
18:34levels of horny
18:35on this track
18:36But I guess
18:50when you have the pedigree
18:51that Eddie Floyd has
18:52You can tell Waffle House
18:54Take the song or not
18:55But that's all
18:56you're gonna get from me
18:57And I wish you
19:00A merry Christmas
19:03So if you want it
19:04Cool
19:04But I don't need
19:05that Waffle House money
19:06And a happy new year
19:12And if you're Waffle House
19:13You're thinking
19:14Crap
19:14We need to fill out this CD
19:16Alright
19:16Whatever
19:17If Eddie Floyd
19:18wants to sing about
19:19getting romantic
19:19with his girl
19:20Put it on the record
19:21He doesn't even have
19:23to talk about us
19:24Turn on the radio
19:27Hope he plays
19:28Something slow
19:29So we can dance
19:32the night together
19:33And I'm kind of wondering
19:35how romantic
19:36you're gonna get
19:37after your Waffle House
19:38Christmas
19:38Considering you're
19:39filled up on
19:4011 cups of Coke
19:42in your system
19:4210 cups of coffee
19:447 T-Bone steaks
19:465 pork chops
19:482 waffles
19:49Sausage
19:50Grits
19:50And who knows
19:51what the hell
19:52else you ate
19:52during that song
19:53Wanna take you in my arms
19:56Hold you to the morning come
19:58Girl I want to be with you
20:02Forever and ever
20:06Our next track is by
20:08The DJ Jazz Project
20:09Which I thought had something to do
20:11with Jazzy Jeff
20:12But no
20:13The track is Frosty the Snowman
20:15It's the exact type of music
20:16you'd hear during the Christmas season
20:17When you're calling into
20:19your credit card company
20:21And they put you on hold
20:22And you're trying to figure out
20:24a charge
20:24And they're like
20:26Well, we'll look into it on our end
20:28Do you mind being on hold?
20:29And then you're there
20:30for like 10 minutes
20:31and you keep hearing
20:32the same loop of this
20:33over and over
20:34And then every so often
20:36they go
20:36Your call is very important to us
20:38Please stay on the line
20:39If you'd like to hang up
20:41and schedule a callback
20:42Please hit 2
20:43Something like that
20:44Track 9 is
20:46This year
20:46I'll give you all my heart
20:48What'd you give last year?
20:49Like half of your heart?
20:51Because if you're only giving
20:51half of your heart
20:52You're John Mayer
20:53Baby, I've got one
20:55that you can't see
20:57Oof
20:58And the singing on this
20:59I don't know about you
21:01but it's pretty bad
21:02And I know
21:03I mean
21:03Maybe you're enjoying this
21:05But this feels like
21:06somebody told this girl
21:07that she could be
21:07the next Tiffany
21:08and produce this for her
21:10You can't wrap it up
21:12You can't throw it up
21:14You can't hide it in the yard
21:18And then after fleecing
21:19this girl ran off
21:21with her money
21:21You can't pay it off
21:24on their way
21:26Or charge it on a credit card
21:30There really isn't enough
21:31Christmas songs
21:32that talk about
21:33putting things on layaway
21:34But it's yours to keep
21:36Forever and ever
21:39I've seen it in the stars
21:43This year
21:44I'm giving you my heart
21:50You know
21:51The idea of giving somebody
21:52your heart
21:53on Christmas
21:53and then them
21:54giving it away
21:55I think this young gun
21:57did it better
21:58It's one of a kind
21:59Not a copy
22:01or a fake
22:04Oh
22:04She has a legit heart
22:06I thought she had
22:07one of those
22:07bootleg hearts
22:08Or a heart
22:10ordered off Teemu
22:11Just keep in mind
22:13Let's be careful
22:14Or it might break
22:17This song has started
22:18getting so bad
22:19I'm kind of enjoying it
22:21It can take the bad times
22:23with the good
22:25If you'll just hold it close
22:28the way you should
22:30I don't know what's wrong with me
22:32And why are we talking
22:33about Waffle House?
22:34Isn't this the Waffle House Christmas?
22:36Couldn't you be giving somebody
22:38your heart at the Waffle House?
22:40But it's yours to keep
22:42Forever and ever
22:44I've seen it in the stars
22:49This year
22:50I'm giving you my heart
22:55Who is this woman singing?
22:58Apparently her name is Angela Adams
22:59I tried to run a search on the name
23:01but I don't know
23:03Any of these people?
23:05Or is this a stage name?
23:07There's this Angela Adams
23:08who was part of the
23:09Black Potato Music Festival?
23:12Track 10 is Deck the Halls
23:14but without the parts of Charlie
23:16that the Crypt Keepers sing about
23:18Deck the halls with boughs of holly
23:21Fala La La La La La La La La La La
23:25Just no
23:27I just picture a bunch of
23:29old wine aunts
23:31dancing around to this
23:33and it all seems very upsetting
23:35I don't know
23:35Fast away the old year passes
23:51This is actually one of the shortest tracks on the record, but honestly, it felt like
23:57an eternity when I listened to it.
24:14Track 11 is It's a Waffle House Christmas, and with a title like that, I'm expecting gold,
24:21Jerry.
24:22Gold.
24:23And right off the bat, it does not disappoint.
24:26It's a Waffle House Christmas, a special time of the year.
24:32It's a Waffle House Christmas, I wish you good cheer.
24:38This sounds like a Carpenter's song if Karen got over her eating disorder and decided to
24:46get a plate at the Waffle House.
24:48Trimming the tree with colored lights all aglow, and hanging up mistletoe.
25:01I like that the singer just says, it's a Waffle House Christmas, that's what this is.
25:07And then doesn't elaborate on what that even is.
25:11What makes it a Waffle House Christmas?
25:13Just being in the presence of Waffle House?
25:14Being in a Waffle House?
25:16Is it the spirit of what a Waffle House is?
25:18I don't know.
25:19And you don't either.
25:20It's a Waffle House Christmas, folks are traveling home.
25:27It's a Waffle House Christmas, wherever you roam.
25:34Maybe it's the signage out front.
25:35Maybe that glow draws you in.
25:38Where everybody, regardless of race, creed, color, or degree of inebriation, is welcomed.
25:44Yellow signs welcoming old friends and new Christmas time, know we're always there.
25:57Wait a minute, that's sounding kind of biblical.
26:00Maybe Waffle House Christmas is the spirit of Christmas.
26:04People come and stopping by to feel the warmth we share, the Christmas wish of love that's
26:14in the air.
26:17Maybe it's Santa.
26:20It's Santa and reindeer and children's starry eyes.
26:26Maybe the spirit of a Waffle House Christmas goes as far back as the birth of Christ.
26:32That's a lot of pressure to put on Waffle House records.
26:36That's really deep for a place that sells waffles.
26:40Baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, whose birth would bring us life.
26:48At this point, we're gonna kick out the singers, we're just gonna play a little instrumental
26:52music.
26:53From 12 to 16, it's all done by this guy, Jerry Buckner.
26:57The guy who brought us Pac-Man Fever.
27:00What's he gonna do for We Wish You a Merry Christmas?
27:02The type of music you'd hear coming out of a toy carousel.
27:07Track 13, Santa Claus is Coming to Town.
27:10Again, it's an instrumental, but the type where, I don't know if it was like a variety show,
27:15I could shout out the guests, give a heartfelt thank you to the audience, and even give a
27:21preview of who's showing up on the late night talk shows.
27:24Track 14 is an instrumental version of the 12 Days of Christmas.
27:29I was already annoyed when it was about the Waffle House.
27:32I don't know if I want to hear it in instrumental form, especially with this instrumental that
27:36has the sound of a toy that you would accidentally break or lose the batteries of.
27:43Track 15 is about Frosty the Snowman, and actually, it's my favorite of the instrumental tracks.
27:50It kind of sounds like something you would hear in a 16-bit to even modern-day Mario game in
27:57one of those ROM hacks that make it Christmas in the Mushroom Kingdom.
28:00I could hear this playing there.
28:02The CD ends with a instrumental of Deck the Halls.
28:06It feels like one of those instrumental tracks that you would have heard on a very cheap syndicated
28:12sitcom or, I don't know, like the early days of Disney Channel, where you don't want to pay
28:17a real musical artist, but you want to have something playing while you do a montage.
28:22That's what this is.
28:23And that was a Waffle House Christmas.
28:26What was that?
28:27Now I'm down the rabbit hole, and I've learned so much about music specifically made for Waffle
28:34Houses.
28:35Yes, one of the things I learned, not only did I learn about The Meat Lover and Raisins
28:40on Toast, there is a never-ending amount of songs for the Waffle House.
28:45There's this Living in America James Brown parody about Waffle House.
28:50Seriously, if Apollo Creed had come out to this version, I think him and Ivan Drago would
28:55have squashed the beef, sat down, and had some grits.
28:59Honestly, I think that's what would have happened.
29:00Bigger yellow signs, all lit up, easy to find anywhere.
29:09Well, it's my destination, because I like it there.
29:13They greet you at the door, but they really care.
29:18I like what I see in the Waffle House.
29:22People like me, the American dream.
29:26I like what I see in the Waffle House.
29:30If you're on your own, it's just like home.
29:34Somebody told me when I first started to think of Waffle House like I would my home.
29:38Then I heard the most bass song I've ever heard, and it came from Waffle House.
29:49It's about the Waffle House man.
29:52Who's the Waffle House man?
29:53The Waffle House man sounds like Huey Lewis' working for a living.
29:58Oh God, it is free, but don't look down to me, cause my mama didn't raise no food.
30:04Waffle House?
30:04Yes, the Waffle House man is the type of person to preach to you about how great America is.
30:22Kicking out the commies.
30:23Salute the stars and stripes and the soldiers in flight to keep me free.
30:29If I was booking for the RNC, I would hire this guy.
30:34I'm a registered voter, can tune my own motor, and I don't eat French cuisine.
30:40Support the local police, I go to church each week, and buy American when I can.
30:46He's what the kids would call, bass.
30:48I love living this way, I'm not ashamed to say, I'm proud of just who I am.
30:55I'm a Waffle House man, no, my life ain't bad, I work an honest day, I love the USA.
31:07Someday, we're going to have to really, really go down the rabbit hole of songs specifically
31:12made for Waffle House, but with a Waffle House Christmas, I think I know what I'm going to get.
31:17Shameless self-promotion.
31:19Their interior is great, the people are great, the food is great, and Waffle House is just
31:24heaven on earth.
31:26I would have been fine with the Waffle House.
31:27Waffle House.
31:28Oh, the geologist took everyone to the Waffle House.
31:30There's a Waffle House.
31:32Waffle House.
31:32Waffle House.
31:33Mmm, you look Waffle House handsome.
31:36Waffle House.
31:36Waffle House.
31:37Waffle House.
31:38Waffle House.
31:39Waffle House.
31:39Waffle House.
31:41Yeah.
31:41I might have done the trick, because now I really want Waffle House.
31:45Anyway, if you liked this video, like, click, subscribe, suggest another crazy Christmas
31:50album, and say hi to my friend who traveled down here, because he likes my shirt, Christmas
