4. The Cold Part - Modest Mouse
5. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas – Judy Garland

It helps if you recall the context from the original movie, and know also that several of the lines have been changed over the years… for example, one of the original lyrics was
"Have yourself a merry little Christmas
"It may be your last
“Next year we may all be living in the past.”
… which was changed to
"Let your heart be light
“Next year all our troubles will be out of sight.”
Similarly, the line about
“…hang a shining star upon the highest bough” was originally
“…until then we’ll have to muddle through somehow”.

Glurgy, and patronizing yet very depressing at the same time.

Cynical or subversive Christmas songs.
