Three years or so ago I made the ultimate alternative Christmas tape. It included anti-good cheer songs, joke Christmas songs and unconventional takes on traditional Christmas songs. Here’s the play list: Merry Fucking Christmas-- South Park Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want to Fight) The Ramones Police Stop My Car-- Bob Rivers A Gun for Chistmas-- Vandals Christmastime for my Penis-- Vandals Little Drum Machine Boy-- Beck Father Christmas-- The Kinks Christmas Wrapping-- The Waitresses Christmas in Hollis-- Run DMC You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch-- How The Grinch Stole Christmas Fairytale of New York-- The Pogues You Ain’t Gettin’ Shit For Christmas-- Red Peters Christmas with the Devil-- Spinal Tap I Won’t be Home for Christmas-- Blink 182 Santa’s Gonna Kick Your Ass-- Arrogant Worms Sleigh Ride-- The Venturas Blue Christmas-- Collective Soul But even though this tape is full of awesome, it’s getting a little old. I’d like to make another irreverant, alternative Christmas tape but I am stuck. P.S. The Venturas are getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This is because they kick surfin’ ass! ---

There’s the SNL “Cock in a Box,” but I don’t remember if that was, ahem, explicitly holiday-related, or just generic gift-giving (“happy B-day, honey!”). There’s also a Ren & Stimpy X-mas album, [Crock O’Christmas](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crock_O'_Christmas). Knock yerself out… ---

You’ve got to add Monty Python’s **Ho Ho Fucking Ho**. That song cracks me up. ---

It turns out that [“_Dick_ in a Box”](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_in_a_Box) is indeed XXX-Mas related. Merry fucking Christmas (and happy yak-shaving day!). “_Cock_ in a Box” sounds more poetic, though. 😃 ---

The _Santastic_ series of mash-up compilations has some gems. (I’m trying to download this year’s right now.) Another downloadable album you might check out is _the 8bits of christmas_, which is Christmas songs played on old video game and home-computer systems. ---

[QUOTE=Flutterby] Fairytale of New York - The Pogues [/QUOTE] This is one of my favorite songs ever, Christmas or not. The other day my girlfriend and I were at Target looking for more assorted Christmas bits for the house when we heard this song coming from one of the Christmas aisles! It was too loud and too clear to be a ringtone on somones phone, so we spend the next half hour pushing every button on every decoration trying to find the desparately hip and needed decoration that played The Pogues. Turns out there was one of those cardboard kiosks hawking Christmas CD’s that played samples on demand. ☹ ---

Not that I’m complaining or anything but-- did you all read my playlist before posting? Fairytale of New York is the most depressing Christmas song ever sung. Especially since I know those two. They live in Queens , have 6 kids and bad teeth and like to pound on each other after some Guiness or Jamieson. It’s funny cuz it’s true! ---
