This classic American duo, which became the toast of England in the 1970s thanks to such albums as Kimono My House, Whomp That Sucker and Angst In My Pants, is still with us to this day, having just completed the FFS collaboration with Franz Ferdinand (which you should own). This 2015 single is a dramatic ballad with orchestra about loneliness that breaks out into a gospel number about halfway through. I've always loved these guys and this is a good example of their work. They previously sang about the holiday in 1974 with "Thank God It's Not Christmas," a more rocked-out number from their best-known album.
