The Season's Upon Us, by the Dropkick Murphys is a humorous Celtic Punk Rock song. This humorous celtic song is about a dysfunctional family celebrating the holidays. The lyrics are PG-13 so performance is recommended for College audiences or mature audiences.
Performance by or for children is not recommended.
Here arranged with a tongue in cheek sweet 3/4 choral intro later progressing into a 6/8 with angst and harmony
There are humorous solos and plenty of room for dramatics.
The song was performed by The Dropkick Murphys in the key of C.
The arrnger chose G to allow 4 part harmony.
Performance Suggestions: With a capable choir this could/should be performed a capella with interludes by a button accordion.
A melodica, or flute/pennywhistle could be substituted for the accordion, or a piano/synth.
On the recording there are also guitars and bodhráns - an Irish hand-drum.
Guitar chords are included in the arrangement. A suggestion is to watch the original Dropkick Murphy's video on Youtube to catch the spirit of the song.
