White Elephant

Ahh, the white elephant gift exchange: People gifting things that are outrageous, funny, sometimes serious - and often items that should have remained in the basement among the cobwebs. It's amazing what people are willing to open just because it's wrapped in a pretty package.

The song, "White Elephant" explains the premise in basic terms set to a semi-retro light pop rock style. The thing that makes it unique and fun to sing is how spare it is, which means that when the multiple parts are sung together, they're pretty cool. Parts 2 and 3 are optional, but they're doubled in saxes on the recording, so you're covered if needs be. The use of crisp sporadic snaps also contributes to the cool factor, especially at the end when everything drops out. The snaps are optional during the verses if they're a little too hard to do while singing, but the sidestick covers them on the recording. (from Music K-8, Vol. 34, No. 2)
