"Santa Stole My Lady," Fitz and the Tantrums (Dangerbird)

This squadron of blue-eyed soulsters caps off a strong 2011 with this holiday single, whose premise is easy to discern from the title alone. It's got a nice midtempo 60s soul feel and you can dance to it. The flip, "Darkest Street," is non-holiday and is a bit slower and, yes, darker, but still listenable for all that. Streamable at their website, downloadable from Amazon (click at right) or iTunes. There's 7-inch vinyl of this as well.
