The Three Wise Men (XTC): Thanks for Christmas

xtc What says Happy Holidays better than a New Wave Christmas?! Classic New Wave at its very finest, XTC released this 1983 one-off pseudonymous single billed as the Three Wise Men and called the little ditty “Thanks for Christmas.”

With all the trumpets, bells & whistles you would come to expect from your typical Christmas tune, the boys bring their unique flavor to make “Thanks for Christmas” their own and recognizable as XTC. You can’t fool us, Three Wise Men! And WOW! A Christmas song that doesn’t make you want to light the mistletoe on fire! JOY!

This song and other rarities by XTC are available on their collection Rag ‘n’ Bone Buffet.
