Help me devise a Christmas song mix to counter the insipid pap we are going to be pelted with from now until New Years Eve.
I will begin with a thoughtless ode to Christmas homecomings, Linda Bennett’s An Old Fashioned Christmas(Daddy’s Home)
Linda Bennett - An Old Fashioned Christmas (Daddy’s Home) - YouTube
Next?
Dwight Yoakam’s Santa Can’t Stay.
The Go Go’s I’m Gonna Spend My Christmas With A Dalek
I’m Gonna Spend My Christmas With A Dalek - The Go Go’s - YouTube
Ogden Edsl-Open Me First At Christmas
Ogden Edsl and Bill Frenzer “Open Me First at Christmas” - YouTube
“Miss Fogarty’s Christmas Cake,” a fine old piece of pre-Vaudeville Irish-bashing, written in the 1880s.
Maybe not demented enough but one of my favorite Christmas songs:
Martin Mull’s “Santa Doesn’t Cop Out On Dope.”
My second favorite Christmas song (after “Fairytale Of New York”):
Hey Santa!
Not the most demented. but certainly the most double-entendre. Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, “Big Bulbs”.
The Season’s Upon Us! (Not really demented, but some people would glare.)
And I had this little NSFW gem blasting in the background when an elderly relative called this afternoon…if she could make out the lyrics, she didn’t say anything. (No embedded link, because the album art features an anthropomorphic poo, which might be a little too demented for some.)
