Yeah, yeah. Anyone can post videos of fucking Wham! or Wizzard or Bing god-damn Crosby, but here at SCD we do Christmas a little... different.
Post any videos of songs that would definitely NOT make it onto any Christmas albums or be played on the radio, in shopping malls etc. Look, whoever your favourite artist is, chances are some of them have recorded a Christmas song. Even Venom did it! Yeah: V-E-N-O-fucking-M! So be creative. Whatever your genre is - hip-hop, jazz, metal, no-wave, punk, even (shudder) jazz, find those Christmas-themed songs and inflict them on us!
Like these, to kick off.
Tom Waits - "Christmas Card From a Hooker in Minneapolis"
Kamelot - "We Three Kings"
Eric Idle (Yes that one) - "Fuck Christmas"
and my own personal Irish favourite, the late, great Frank Kelly (Father Jack in Father Ted) does "The Twelve Days of Christmas". You've never heard it like this!
I love alternative Christmas songs! I'm a pretty festive person, but the worst part of the holiday season for me, at least when I worked retail, was having to hear all the cliche songs over and over again, so I definitely developed a love of ones that are off the beaten path. Here's a few that immediately came to mind.
Lil Jon - All I Really Want for Christmas
Escape the Fate - Christmas Song
Lil Aaron - Fuck Christmas
Korn - Jingle Balls
I swear I saw it on a thread in this forum but can't find it now, so, here's Mariah Manson - "All I Want For Christmas is the Beautiful People"
She anything to Marilyn? Or Charles? :laughing:
Another few:
J.J. Hrubovcak - "Unrest for Melancholy Men" (see what he did there?)
Bob Rivers - "Walking in Women's Underwear"
and just in case you didn't get the message the first time...
Tankard - "Fuck Christmas"
Easily my all-time favorite Christmas song...
Fishbone - Slick Nick, You Devil You
While we're doing mashups...
And here's my second all-time favorite Christmas song...
Eartha Kitt - Santa Baby
