"Chistmas Wraping" by the Waitesses
and for a change of pace...
"Merry Mutha_***in' X-Mas" by Eazy E
gaurnteed to get the carolers off your doorstep!

Doesn't anybody like the traditional Christmas tunes anymore. Almost every post here goes like this:
"My favorite Christmas song is some obscure titled tune no one has ever heard of by an artist that makes me look totally hip!"

I like Jingle Bells and the Halleluhah Chorus, I guess I'm not cool.

The GREATEST Christmas song ever...

Fark Christmas, Fark Santa, Fark You (obivous replacement words) by Blood Sausage.

Some others...

Killdozer - Oh Little Town of Deathlehem
DDT - Captain Morgan's Christmas
Lloydsrocket - You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch
Poison Idea - Santa Claus is back in town
Rhythm Pigs - Sleigh Ride
Ultra Bide - Santa Never Dies
Fireballs - (I Need A) Holiday
(all the above off Hardcore Holiday)
Vincent laguardia Gambini - If it doesn't snow for Christmas
Bad Religion - Joy to the World
Sonic Youth - Santa Doesn't Cop out on Dope
Elastica - Gloria
Beck - The Little Drum Machine Boy

Yogi Yorgesson - Yingle Bells
Funniest Christmas song of all

Cool Yule by Louie Armstrong. IMHO it is the best christmas song out there.

bc

You probably won't be able to find it anywhere, but
"Baby It's Cold Outside" with Sigourny Weaver and I think Buster Poindexter.

ben folds five - bizarre christmas incident

Bad Religion - God Rest You, Jerry Mentleman
Bad Religion - Leon
The Vandals - Oi To The World (album)

Cheech and Chong - Santa Claus and His Old Lady... maybe the funniest Xmas song ever! Many of the references in the song are no longer relevant to younger listeners (I played with that cat at the Fillmore man!).

The Whirling Dervishes - You're a mean one Mr. Grinch... the guy's voice is a deadpan for Boris Karloff's - a can't miss track!

BBD

"Chipmonks Roasting on an Open Fire" - Bob Rivers

As far as the usual songs go, I would recommend The Trans Siberian Orchestra's cover of Carol of the Bells.

Waitresses "Christmas Wrapping"

"The Rebel Jesus" by Jackson Browne with the Chieftains, on the Chieftains' Christmas CD "The Bells of Dublin". Speaks volumes not only about Christmas, but about Christianity as well.

FEAR - fark Christmas

"christmas sucks" by Peter Murphy and Tom Waits ;)

I'm with Nitram on the Fear song.

Oh, and "Fairytale of New York" by the Pogues.

Gotta have:

ICP - Santa Claus is a Fat biatch
Everclear - I Will Be Hating You for Christmas
Fenix TX - Feliz Navidad
Pink Floyd - The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot
South Park - Mr Garrison's Merry Farking Christmas
South Park - Cartman's O Holy Night
Da Yoopers - Rusty Chevrolet

hmmm....everything else on my list has already been mentioned, so I guess that's it.....

In no particular order:

Santa Baby -- Earth Kitt
Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) - Darlene Love (Treat yourself and get the whole Phil Spector x-mas album)
Wish I had a River -- Joni Mitchell
Merry F*cking Christmas -- Mr. Garrison
Santa's Beard - They might be giants
Santa Claus needs some loving -- Christmas Jug Band (with Dan Hicks)
The Story of Scrooge -- by ??? Lord Buckley ??? Buckminster FUller?? Help --if anyone can find the source of this I would apprciate it.

"Santa Claus is smokin' reefer" by the Squirrel Nut Zippers.

What Are You Doing New Year's Eve? --Harry Connick, Jr. (the ONLY acceptable version I've found)
Fairytale of New York--The Pogues
Snowflake Music--The RUSHMORE Soundtrack (also in Bottle Rocket, I believe)
It's Christmas Time Pretty Baby--Elvis

Everclear had that "I'll be hating you for christmas" song as a hidden track on an old cd.

12-01-02 05:03:52 PM Ach3r0n
Everclear - I Will be Hating You For Christmas
(secret track on So Much for the Afterglow)

Sometimes Fark scares me.

Anything by Roky Erickson would be appropriate

Hey, I finally got a submission posted. Thanks guys, there are some great suggestions here.

Good thing I have Kazaa. This would get rather expensive if I didn't.

Holiday in Cambodia-The Dead Kennedys

Mr Grinch-Mojo Nixon

Christmas with the Devil-Spinal Tap

I'm with the people who said Fairytale of New York. farking beautiful song. Add some depression to your Christmas.

I forgot -- Add Tom Lehers -- the 12 days of christmas
Arlo Guthrie's CHristmas song (Peace Guys)

"o Holy Night" sung by Eva O (formerly of Christian Death)

I've been collecting odd Xmas songs for a few years.

My all time favorite is probably "Shouldn't Have Given Him a Gun for Christmas" by Wall of Voodoo. It was originally released on Just in Time for Christmas, which is long out of print (shame too, because it has all sorts of old IRS bands like Clark Kent, the Squeeze and Timbuk3). Anyway, you can now find the song on New Wave Xmas from Rhino records.

There's a new album out this year from Nettwerk called Maybe This Christmas, which is alright but not great.

The first couple of A Very Special Christmas releases were cool, but they've gone downhill recently.

There are also a couple of decent electronica tracks on Streetbeat Records' Acid X-mas, but most sound like piss.

Good luck!

Butch the gay Santa Claus - Cherry Poppin' Daddies

No one has mentioned,

Red Peters - "Holy shiat, It's Christmas!"

A Must have on any Xmas CD.

And here's the first photoshop!

OK, I actually am one of the few farkers who know about these two Xmas albums:


Christmas in Heaven - Various Artists: features the most disturbing Xmas song ever, "Christmas Wishes" by Backwoods (Argyle Park/Circle of Dust-related side project), the original version of Sixpence None the Richers cover of "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" and some other really great stuff....it was essentially a ton of obscure Xian modrock acts doing very non-traditional Xmas songs...one that never made it was Klank's cover of King Diamond's "No Toys for Christmas."



Noel - Various Artists: the BEST version ever of "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" and a song I've never heard elsewhere called "Carol of the Birds" (No, it's not Carol of the BELLS). Phenomenal album!

Ooops...here:

or go to www.geocities.com/everythingdice

As for my own suggestions:

Fairtytale of New York is an excellant song. (that's where the link goes) The language is a bit colorful so you can't exactly play it at the office Christmas party, but it's a great song

Vince Guaraldi's soundtrack from A Charlie Brown Christmas is all good.

If We Make Through December by Holly Cole is a great cover of the Merle Haggard song. I just did a search for it on Kazaa and it didn't come up, so I'll upload a copy if anyone wants it. It should be up in couple of minutes.

Let's try that again:

Bad Religion - "F.uck Christmas"

X-Mas on the Isthmus by Terry Allen

"We snorted some incense, then we shot up some myrrh
Stayed up two more days, just to make sure"

Pinkard and Bowden--Let's put the X back in Christmas
Bill Monroe--Footprints in the Snow
and
Ding Fries are done

"Nothing For Christmas" by the Reducers (www.thereducers.com)

or any of the John Fahey Christmas recordings.

My collection includes:

Merry Axemas volumes 1 and 2
The best guitarists in the world play tasteful instrumental Christmas songs. Highlights include Zakk Wylde's astonishing "White Christmas", Steve Morse's incomperable "Joy To The World, Kenny Wayne Shepherd's "Rudolph", and Steve Vai's smoky jazzy "Christmas Time Is Here" (from Charlie Brown).

Gary Hoey- Ho Ho Hoey volumes 1,2, and 3.
Another great guitarist doing instrumentals. Every track is a different style of guitar. Metal, blues, classical, bluegrass, etc.

Lynyrd Skynyrd's Christmas cd.

and some other gems include:
The Screaming Santas: Christmas music hairband-style!

Spinal Tap's Christmas With The Devil
I think it's Bob Rivers who does "I Am Santa Claus", a song about santa sung to the tune of Black Sabbath's Iron Man.

A couple of years ago, somoene did a DEAD ON parody of Judas Priest singing "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" sung to the tune of their "Heading Down The Highway". It was perfect!

All the Kevin & Bean Christmas cd's are hilarious, but theo ne that stands out in my mind is "Christmastime in the LBZ" with Snoop Dogg.

I've got a boner for christmas - nerf herder

Anything by Nsync, Britney or Christina...

Uhm... for the people you really hate make a CD with one song, and just repeatedly fill it up with

CKY - Santa Clause is Coming to Town

It looks like white snow to me...
I could be wrong, It's happened before

By the way... I was talking to Peter_Veal

Get lost BigPimpin you farkin idiot with no taste

My own "Reindeer Fistfight" has thrilled Baltimore audiences for over one year now. Check it out here!
