i got yell at for playing 'christmas rapping' on the juke box the other day...it was going to be a waitresses song, so it was that or 'i know what boys like'. not sure that would've went over any better

Pa pa oo mau mau?

I love bizarre and obscure Christmas music. Just about every single artist out there has released Christmas music over every single musical genre out there. Traditional, lounge, country, rap, metal, techno/electronika, Ska, punk, Hawaiian, African. You name it, and I can probably drag out an example of the musical Genre being used to make Christmas music.

I pride myself on my expansive, and ever expanding collection of Christmas music, and this time of year is great because I can listen to it with impunity....

With that said... even I find the crap they pump into the stores to be trifling and insipid.


lets make this an awesome Christmas song thread!

Bob Dylan, Must be Santa

You are now forever cursed to be hearing SIMPLY HAVING A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS TIME!


_{/You're welcome.}

This is pretty much the only Christmas song I actually like. Probably because nobody plays it, and therefore I only hear it when I want to hear it.

Snoopy's Christmas, by The Royal Guardsmen

I've always liked Captain Sensible.

Cerebral Knievel: I love bizarre and obscure Christmas music.

Brings a smile to my face every year..

/farking magnets...

Oh, you want' Christmas music? I've got your farking Christmas music.

HEE HAW HEE HAW.

Christmas music is okay, but Christmas music on the radio before it's even December, really drives me nuts. I am so sick of hearing it by mid-December that I leave my radio off for the last two weeks of the month.

My dads been playing this on the Christmas edition of his radio show the past couple years.

Worked at a big box store while in high school. Hearing the same X-mas songs everyday drove me insane.

/hates x-mas music

I like the one where Nick Lachey date rapes skinny Jessica Simpson.

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas.

 

Curved escalators FTW.

/offtopic, sorta

If I hear one of those after Christmas, I always think something like, "Hey, I paid my debt to society, this is unfair."

My White Christmas remix I can see where this would get a little annoying.

THE BEST CHRISTMAS SONG OF ALL TIME.

/of ALL TIME!

Damn you, subby!

I'm sitting around stoned of my butt after having surgery Tuesday and was just talking with Mr. Sumthing about how the pain and being stuck in the house is worth avoiding the songs for a few more days..

Oh, and the Little Drummer Boy....well let's just put it this way.

I dare any of you to listen to White Wine in the Sun without it bringing a tear to your eye.

You can't do it.

The correct pluralization is Hippopatamusses.

Do I know you off-line? You sound like a friend. He squeed a few years ago when I let him burn borrow a recording with Riu Riu Chiu & Patapan. Favorite obscure carol: On This Day Earth Shall Ring. The best carols are religious ones. And anything from Dr. Demento, but that's a given.

Duck_of_Doom: The correct pluralization is Hippopatamusses.

How do you stop spelling that? I just keep going...

What about this old standard?

Mississississississississsiiisisisisi ........

I still believe "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime" was the result of a stoned bet between Lennon and McCartney over who could get a more hideous song on the charts.

I'm a sucker for Carol of the Bells, so far this is my favorite. Wish I could find it for purchase somewhere so it doesn't crap out on the highs with the volume up, but I'll admit I haven't looked very hard.

Here's another good version. I have to find a new link to it every year because somebody runs around sending take-down notices on it. The grinches!

"Nanny Ogg knew how to start spelling 'banana', but didn't know how you stopped."

I knew I shouldn't have come to this thread. Now I want the entire world to burn.

Carol of the Belts.

And.... he had some magic dust

Grandma got run over by a reindeer

Jingle Dogs

/fark you, christmas music

Bah, sorry. Link

I brought these gifts for you, there up in my buuummmm.

I hope that makes the next month a little more tolerable for all of you.

REM's "Christmas Griping".
Link^

Patton Oswalt's deconstruction of "Christmas Shoes".
Link^

There is no way I can convey the amount of HATE I have for those stores that play the same re-hashed crap music for a whole month!

/at least find some new stuff.
//all the songs now are crap remakes
///just want new original stuff

We're at Def-X-Mas 3

My point was more that the video on youtube doesn't have really high quality audio, but thanks! Wait...did you mean the Mr. Mackey version? Hmm, suppose I could. Hadn't really considered it.

Here's another choir doing Carol of the Bells.

I Am Santa Claus with a bunch of crappy Christmas cards or something as the video.

Toyland.

And that's about it for Christmas music I can stand.

Arachnophobe: This is pretty much the only Christmas song I actually like. Probably because nobody plays it, and therefore I only hear it when I want to hear it.

Snoopy's Christmas, by The Royal Guardsmen

That's one of my favourites as well. :) I wish they played it more,

There is only one christmas song ever made that isn't annoying:

Vince Guaraldi, Christmas Time is Here

Kittypie070: Oh, and the Little Drummer Boy....well let's just put it this way.

That cat looks high on teh Nip.

/ just say no to teh Nip

Silver Bells is the only remotely tolerable Christmas song. The only exceptions are those performed by Perry Como.
