Well it's getting closer and closer to that time of year, and by chance I've managed to avoid endless Christmas songs this year. It actually made me miss some of my favorite ones, A Fairytale of New York and Christmas With The Devil by The Pogues and Spinal Tap respectively being the ones I've most fond of. Since I haven't had to suffer through them, care to share any of your favorite unconventional Christmas songs, the one's that are't all "isn't Xmas grand".

I like the '12 days of christmas' song that was made up for a radio station by our local porn shop. That was entertaining.

"Christmas at Ground Zero" by Weird Al Yankovic.

I want a Hippopotomas for Christmas....by someone with a little girls voice-but i think its an adult really

i was just singing fairytale of new york to my bemused boss and coworkers at work tonight, god i love that song, the pogues in general and that drunken (almost)toothless god shane.

Yes, I always get a tear in my eye listening to that one, reminds me Christmases when I was growing up. I understand why The Pogues had to dump Shane, but it was still a loss.

i've listened to all of shane's post pogues work, "the snake" is pretty good, "crock o' gold"(?) is spotty at best, but the pogues without shane are just a moderately folky longue act that i don't care for at all.

I like no well (it only makes sense if you hear it, if you see it written down, you'll never under stand how fricking hilarious it is, other wise i would type it up for yall)

I want a Hippopotomas for Christmas....by someone with a little girls voice-but i think its an adult reallygayla peevey, and she was kid at the time, maybe 11. I forgot all about that one, a good choice.


"Christmas at Ground Zero" by Weird Al Yankovic.Another one I'd forgotten. maybe I should let them turn the radio on at work, nah I'll just hear fifty versions of Rockin Around The Christmas Tree like last year.

Yep, but a band can only survive so long with a hard-core heroin addict fronting for them, and employment becomes spotty. heck Morphine lost Sandman when they were begining to make it really big, and he was nowhere near the junkie Shane was/is.

i always thought shane was more of an extreme alcoholic

"Let's Have A Patrick Swayze Christmas" by Crow T. Robot.

"Carolina Christmas" by Squirrel Nut Zippers

i always thought shane was more of an extreme alcoholicThere are more than a few credible stories floating arround about his heroin habit and he's been in detox several times, although last I heard he was denying using heroin. he looks and acts like a heroin addict to me, but he doesn't have a light hand with the bottle either. Puking on the audience works in some forums, but isn't good for the big time these days. Seriously, i'm surprised he's still alive, I don't think he would have managed that if he had stayed with The Pogues. Yes, your assessment of post-Shane Pogues agrees with mine, but I understand why they split.

"Let's Have A Patrick Swayze Christmas" by Crow T. Robot.
Oh a MSTie, darn i've got that one on MP3, time to dra it out.

"Carolina Christmas" by Squirrel Nut ZippersPeople keep trying to get me to like SNZ, but it just doesn't take.

did you see the recent documentary on him(can't remember the name) he looks like absolute shit and laughs like a deranged muppet, but god he still has that strange charm, that make you want to buy him a drink even as he's cursing you in a voice almost to ravaged and slurred to understand.

Bob and Doug McKenzie's "12 Days of Christmas" and "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer"

Bob and Doug McKenzie's "12 Days of Christmas" and "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer""And a beer, in a tree", yep that gets me into the holiday mood.

Come on...hands down it has to be the Grinch song...

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch,
You really are a heel,
You're as cuddly as a cactus,
You're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch.
You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!

You're a monster, Mr. Grinch,
Your heart's an empty hole,
Your brain is full of spiders,
You've got garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch.
I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!

You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch,
You have termites in your smile.
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch.
Given the choice between the two of you I'd take the
seasick crocodile!

You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch,
You're the king of sinful sots,
Your heart's a dead tomato splotched
With moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch.
You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich
with arsenic sauce!

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch,
With a nauseous super "naus",
You're a crooked dirty jockey
And you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch.
Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the
most disgraceful assortment of rubbish imaginable
mangled up in tangled up knots!

You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch,
You're a nasty wasty skunk,
Your heart is full of unwashed socks,
Your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch.
The three words that best describe you are as follows, and
I quote, "Stink, stank, stunk!"

That Christmas Eve Sarajevo song by Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

Three Kings of Orient

I haven't opened them yet(it's 12:30am) but it looks like I did, not that I asked for anything.

Besides, how often do you find a song that's anti-Christmas, how could I not post it? :p

Grandma got run over By a Riendeer!
Seconded!

Man, I first heard that at work. Put me in a funny mood for the whole night :D

For what its worth I agree, theres way too much commercialism now, but

how do you stop it.

Leroy the Redneck Reindeer from Joe Diffy

Its A Merry *BEEP*ing Christmas. i saw it on Comedy Central and thought it was pretty funny.

I hate Grandma Got Run over, someone has this moose that plays it at an obnoxious volume and it drives me insane!

Well, more insane than usual.

someone has this moose that plays it at an obnoxious volume and it drives me insane!

That's an impressive moose!

Does he play other CDs or does he limit himself to one track?

Bob and Doug McKenzie's "12 Days of Christmas" ...

Next year for Christmas get me a chainsaw.

Take off!

Yep, it's at the top of my list.

Destroy capitalism?

The Chimney Song by the Bob Rivers Comedy Corp. It starts like this:

There's something stuck up in the chimney
And I don't know what it is,
But it's been there all night long.
Well, I waited up for Santa all Christmas night
But he never came and it don't seem right... :eek:

Come on...hands down it has to be the Grinch song...It's "favourite" not best. Take peoples' feelings into consideration you heartless bastard.

I like Little Saint Nick by the Beach Boys.

"Walking in a Killer's Wonderland" from Johnny the Homicidal Maniac (yay johnen vasquez!)
and "Gothic Christmas" by Within Temptation

That's an impressive moose!

Does he play other CDs or does he limit himself to one track?

No, it has something inside of it that will play Grandma Got Run Over, and only Grandma. :p

What's Going On.

Though it has pretty much nothing to do with the seasons at all :p

Destroy capitalism?

Yes, that would do it, destroy!
