Something Completely Different

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
