Randy Rainbow is bringing his brand of funny to the holidays with his holiday -- holigay? -- offering Hey Gurl, It's Christmas!
"I'm a gay Jew and I feel it's just a natural progression to make a Christmas album," he explained. "But I always have been a fan of Christmas and Christmas albums."
But don't expect much of the political shtick he's become known for these past few years.
"I hope it's not terribly political," he said "I mean, on the first track ["Hey Gurl, It's Christmas!"], I deal with that right away and make a little joke because the first line is kind of loosely about Trump and politics and I comedically put a stop to it.
"I just anticipated it would just be a big gay romp because I was writing it with Marc Shaiman, who of course wrote Hairspray and Mary Poppins Returns. But as I was writing the lyrics, I decided that it should be my written musical prescription to my friends and fans who are so obsessed with the news and social media and all that stuff to just kind of turn it off for a few days and shut the hell up and enjoy yourself."
Here's a taste of what to expect:
The album is out now, and available online through Amazon and Apple Music.
