Bryan Adams: "Reggae Christmas"

by John Lucas on Dec 18, 2007 at 11:06 am

As a Vancouver kid of the '80s, I'm surprised that I had never heard of this song until just now. Perhaps Bryan Adams was making a bid to become a reggae singer? Who knows, but this video is something of a 1984 time capsule, what with Pee-Wee Herman, the original MTV VJs, and even a Mr. T doll.

(I first learned about this video on Stereogum, where Jon McMillan described "Reggae Christmas" as "one of the least necessary songs ever written". It's hard to argue with that.)

I totally agree that that is "one of the least necessary songs ever written". But then, didn't Bryan Adams specialize in those type of songs?

To be fair, I always had a soft spot for this one (even though I most definitely do not wish it were Christmas every day):

Don't bother being fair, let's just call him unneccesary and leave it at that.
