My husband and I are alternating playing strange or different Christmas songs, and I’m running out of stuff.
I’ve already played:
Fairytale of New York
Father Christmas
I Want an Alien for Christmas
Need stuff that’s on Youtube, and need it fast.
Toy Packaging by Sara Groves
The above post has two additional Christmas Songs that are, different.
Yogi Yorgesson - I Was Santa Claus At The School House
Yogi Yorgesson - I Yust Go Nuts At Christmas
He has more Christmas songs, but not that I find on YOUTUBE.
Thanks!
Merry Christmas From the Family - Robert Earl Keene
Straight No Chaser’s The Twelve Days of Christmas (stay with it) and The Christmas Can Can.
There’s also Tom Lehrer’s A Christmas Carol
Bannas At Large - Da Turdy Pointers Christmas Definitely listen to this one.
Louis Armstrong - Zat You, Santa Claus
Homer and Jethro - Nuttin’ for Christmas
Ray Stevens - Santa Claus Is Watchin You
Christmas at Ground Zero-Weird Al
Jonathan Coulton: Christmas is Interesting and Chiron Beta Prime. No idea what’s going on in those videos, but the songs appear to be the real deals.
No Presents for Christmas by (of all people) King Diamond.
Anything from Bob Dylan’s Christmas In the Heart – yes, THAT Bob Dylan.
(That’s “Must Be Santa” and it is cool and demented too. )
There’s more, just look at the list on the left. And enjoy.
(To his credit, Bob is sincere. And fun.)
Buy the CD if you can; proceeds go to charity.
Merry Bloody Xmas by the Irish Rovers
And in response to spoke-'s post, the sequel to Robert Keen’s christmas song, Happy Holidays Ya’ll
Christmas at KMart by Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band
This is one of my personal favorites…
The weirdest Christmas song of all time? No contest:
Tiny Tim’s “Santa Claus Has Got the AIDS This Year.”
