"content": "\u003cp>Okay, first of all: If you're one of those people who genuinely loves Christmas music, jingle bells and all, I'm not here to judge. And I'm very happy for you that, for approximately eight weeks out of the year, your favorite tunes can be heard blaring from every convenience store, mall food court, and dentist's waiting room in America. It must be super convenient!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If, however, you have a slightly different reaction to \"I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus\" -- namely, that you would sooner jam your ear canals with jagged shards of Christmas tree ornaments and hope that it permanently damages your hearing rather than listen to that inspid chorus one more time -- the holiday season can be a little, well, trying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fix yourself a warm alcoholic beverage, won't you? And come sit by me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not that I'm a grinch, exactly, when it comes to Christmas tunes. It's just that the good ones -- the songs that upend saccharine expectations, that truly pack a punch (the way good spiked eggnog should) -- don't get enough attention. I'm here to remedy that. Here are the best Christmas tunes that won't give you auditory diabetes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Run-D.M.C., \"Christmas In Hollis\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR07r0ZMFb8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this song, the members of Run-D.M.C. find Santa's wallet and it's got hella money in it, but they decide to return it anyway. Then they get home and find that Santa in fact intended the money as a Christmas present, and everyone eats macaroni and cheese. \u003cem>Perfect Christmas. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Kinks, \"Father Christmas\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjaPXihbORk\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>True story: I listen to this one year-round. Maybe once a week. This is a legitimately classic Kinks song about class warfare, disguised as a clever Christmas ditty. Also, timeless hook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vulfpeck, \"Christmas in LA\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5K3UgrPdbQ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vulfpeck, a funk band that gained some notoriety last year when they dropped an entirely silent album called \u003cem>Sleepify\u003c/em> on Spotify and used the meager earnings to fund a tour, occupies that fun space between joke band and real band -- the joke part because, well, listen to their lyrics and watch their videos; the real part because they're all exceedingly good at their instruments. They put on a seriously entertaining live show too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Pretenders, \"2000 Miles\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxCSo_cJ9mY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Does this one need an explanation? This song makes me wistful for something unnameable; it's Chrissie Hynde at her jaggedly vulnerable best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Ramones, \"Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y5GtaTrPHM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This one goes out to anyone who's ever experienced the dissonance that comes with finding yourself in a tearful and/or screaming brawl with a family member or significant other while surrounded by twinkly lights, the scent of spiced apple cider, and an overwhelming cultural directive to experience peace, joy, and togetherness. So, everyone. Bonus: Sweet, shy Joey Ramone being added to the storied canon of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/12/06/where-is-all-the-hanukkah-music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Christmas songs penned by Jews.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Happy Fangs, \"All I Want For Christmas Is Halloween\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVRs9AQEJPI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This garage-y, guitar riff-fueled tune from San Francisco's Happy Fangs has something in common with \u003cem>The Nightmare Before Christmas\u003c/em>, a.k.a. one of the greatest holiday movies of all time: It's hard to say if it's more appropriate for Halloween or Christmastime enjoyment.

And I'm very happy for you that, for approximately eight weeks out of the year, your favorite tunes can be heard blaring from every convenience store, mall food court, and dentist's waiting room in America. It must be super convenient!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If, however, you have a slightly different reaction to \"I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus\" -- namely, that you would sooner jam your ear canals with jagged shards of Christmas tree ornaments and hope that it permanently damages your hearing rather than listen to that inspid chorus one more time -- the holiday season can be a little, well, trying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fix yourself a warm alcoholic beverage, won't you? And come sit by me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not that I'm a grinch, exactly, when it comes to Christmas tunes. It's just that the good ones -- the songs that upend saccharine expectations, that truly pack a punch (the way good spiked eggnog should) -- don't get enough attention. I'm here to remedy that. Here are the best Christmas tunes that won't give you auditory diabetes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Run-D.M.C., \"Christmas In Hollis\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Asian representation is even more scarce, with multi-talented Chinese actress, television producer and pop singer Fan Bingbing as its lone pillar. The last splash of ethnic acknowledgement goes to “70s Cher Bob Mackie Doll.” (Insert appropriate side-eye.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignright wp-image-19384 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/12/cher-bob-mackie-barbie-400x594.jpg\" alt=\"cher-bob-mackie-barbie\" width=\"400\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/12/cher-bob-mackie-barbie-400x594.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/12/cher-bob-mackie-barbie.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what gives? According to Forbes, sales for the once-beloved doll have steadily declined in recent years, with little sign of improvement. Faced with competition from Hasbro (responsible for those Ana and Elsa dolls many of us can’t seem to escape) and a saturated market, Mattel is having difficulty connecting with young girls -- who are also increasingly ethnically diverse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Data from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/03/04/390672196/for-u-s-children-minorities-will-be-the-majority-by-2020-census-says\" target=\"_blank\">2014 Census Bureau\u003c/a> reveals that, by 2020, \"more than half of the nation's children are expected to be part of a minority race or ethnic group.\" It seems Mattel has responded in kind, if the company's decision to mass-produce and distribute DuVernay’s doll is a sign of things ahead. It's a choice in line with a shift in branding for the company at large -- see, for example, Mattel’s recent collaboration with Italian luxury fashion house Moschino, for a promotional ad featuring a multi-ethnic cast and — wait for it — a boy. (It has long been noted that boys play with Barbies, so it looks like Mattel has boarded the train many have been riding for decades. Welcome!)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TULVRlpsNWo\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that you know what you know, are you looking to get your hands on a mini version of Director DuVernay? Well, cool your credit card. Consider this Barbie the second coming of Tickle Me Elmo a la '96, as the \u003cem>New York Daily News\u003c/em> reports the doll, which retails for $65, sold out in less than 20 minutes. As The Grapevine Editor and The Root staff writer Yesha Callahan recently wrote about the rapid sellout, it's something Mattel should take seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People want to see dolls in their image and in the image of those people they admire,\" \u003ca href=\"http://www.theroot.com/blogs/the_grapevine/2015/12/here_s_why_ava_duvernay_s_barbie_sold_out_within_minutes_after_hitting_the.html\" target=\"_blank\">writes Callahan\u003c/a>. \"If Mattel wants to continue to make an impact, someone in its R&D department better start doling out ideas about how to jump on this.” So Mattel — challenge accepted, or nah?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile: If we can’t have Ava, we might as well have fun dreaming up options for who Mattel should recreate next.

Asian representation is even more scarce, with multi-talented Chinese actress, television producer and pop singer Fan Bingbing as its lone pillar.

According to Forbes, sales for the once-beloved doll have steadily declined in recent years, with little sign of improvement. Faced with competition from Hasbro (responsible for those Ana and Elsa dolls many of us can’t seem to escape) and a saturated market, Mattel is having difficulty connecting with young girls -- who are also increasingly ethnically diverse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Data from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/03/04/390672196/for-u-s-children-minorities-will-be-the-majority-by-2020-census-says\" target=\"_blank\">2014 Census Bureau\u003c/a> reveals that, by 2020, \"more than half of the nation's children are expected to be part of a minority race or ethnic group.\" It seems Mattel has responded in kind, if the company's decision to mass-produce and distribute DuVernay’s doll is a sign of things ahead. It's a choice in line with a shift in branding for the company at large -- see, for example, Mattel’s recent collaboration with Italian luxury fashion house Moschino, for a promotional ad featuring a multi-ethnic cast and — wait for it — a boy. (It has long been noted that boys play with Barbies, so it looks like Mattel has boarded the train many have been riding for decades.

As The Grapevine Editor and The Root staff writer Yesha Callahan recently wrote about the rapid sellout, it's something Mattel should take seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People want to see dolls in their image and in the image of those people they admire,\" \u003ca href=\"http://www.theroot.com/blogs/the_grapevine/2015/12/here_s_why_ava_duvernay_s_barbie_sold_out_within_minutes_after_hitting_the.html\" target=\"_blank\">writes Callahan\u003c/a>. \"If Mattel wants to continue to make an impact, someone in its R&D department better start doling out ideas about how to jump on this.” So Mattel — challenge accepted, or nah?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile: If we can’t have Ava, we might as well have fun dreaming up options for who Mattel should recreate next.
