The Ramones have a drastically expansive back-catalog that covers a broad swath of musical type and style, but for some reason, Bonzo Goes to Bitburg always strikes me as a Christmas song. Maybe the singular mind of the Consumer Juggernaut has been listening to Bonzo Goes to Bitburg and feels the same way - the stores already have Christmas crap in them. When I see red and green ornaments and cotton snow covered miniature village scenes in September, my initial reaction is "Jesus..."
Maybe that's the point - consumerism is whipping back around, full circle, back to religion. Buy more stuff, amass great quantities, build a bridge to god, ask for money.
After all, there is some Deadly Serious purchasing power in those collection plates...
