Not unlike Phoenix Suns center, Frank Kaminsky, it’s hard catching up with Strait No Chaser’s 12 Days of Christmas. It starts out as a fairly straight forward take on the classic carol before quickly becoming its own thing, with overlapping verses or skipping them altogether. Then, about halfway though the song, it takes a drastic left turn and ends up in the middle of Toto’s Africa.
Yeah, you read that right, 1982’s pop-rock hit Africa. Somehow it covers both songs at the same time.
On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me
On the 12th day my true love gave to me
12 drummers drumming like Olympus on the Serengeti
11 pipers piping, 10 lords a-leaping!
