Not Your Usual Christmas Music Thread
Each year, I try to add to a growing playlist of songs you probably won't hear on the radio during the Holiday Season. Tunes like:
A Christmas Dual by Cyndi Lauper and the Hives Merry Christmas Exclamation Point by John Lajoie That Time of Year by Gecko How to Make the Gravy by Paul Kelly Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis by Tom Waits I Want an Alien for Christmas by Fountains of Wayne Etc. What are some of your favourite not your usual Christmas music? |

Bad News - Cashing In On Christmas
(My wife watched Love Actually last weekend and I couldn't that song out of my head thanks to Bill Nighy's scenes.) Ramones - Merry Christmas (I don't want to fight tonight) Every Christmas for the past ten years or so Rogue of the Cruxshadows as released a holiday song. Some are really beautiful, some are sad, some are more secular. They're available as donationware downloads. https://www.cruxshadows.org/christmas Time to give the old Spike Jones Christmas songs and Nutcracker a spin. This one is played pretty often, but I love The Waitresses's Christmas Wrapping. Back before the merger, XM Radio used to do Special XMas on their 'weird' channel Special X. Included all the weird songs, Grandma got Run Over, Dogs Barking Jingle Bells, Weird Al's Christmas songs, probably many of the ones in this thread. While I subscribe to SiriusXM and much prefer having the merged satellite radio to having no having satellite radio, I miss XM Radio. |

Always loved this song from the Canadian band The Odds. Sort of has a Tom Petty "Mary Jane's Last Dance" vibe to it.

My favorite version of Little Drummer Boy. Takes a minute or two to get a little spicy.

Re: Not Your Usual Christmas Music Thread
Thanks for all these suggestions. I've been making some YouTube Playlists (though I still call them Mix Tapes) of these Not Your Usual Christmas tunes. Each mix moves through various genres, adds some campy tunes, some comedy, and some not safe for the kiddies stuff (you know, unless you kid loves F bombs). Thought I'd share them below and, should I make more, can add them here too.
