The Beach Boys' Christmas Album, 1964
Written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love
The narrator of this song has just been dumped. She doesn't think he'll be loyal to her. But, he whines, why did she have to dump him at the height of the holiday season? "I made my mistake but / I'm willing to wake up / And never mess around anymore / Oh why did we break up?" Well, sire, I guess because you were a cad. It's too late for you to plead now. To make matters worse, he says that he'd be willing to get back together "just for Christmas." This is a guy who likes being in a relationship more than he likes his girl. Great vocals on this song, of course, but the instrumentation is pretty basic.
