Sounds too much like a kareoke singer, also sounds too drunk to be on stage imo. His voice is pretty strange.

Came here to post Father Christmas by The Kinks as well.

Here Comes Santa - Nick Mason (of Pink Floyd, for those that may not know of him)

OMG, I loved the Pogues. I had part of that song on my answering machine in college. Haven't thought about them in years.

Here's one of my favorite:



All my friends thought I made the song up until I proved them wrong. this video doesn't so it justice but still funny in a strange way. Every year in NY 'Dominic the Donkey' was like a tradition you heard on the radio.

Wizzard! Roy Wood from Electric Light Orchestra?

Should have known by the get ups. Reminds me of the original days of ELO. They were freaks.

None. All Christmas music sucks.

Even Gregorian and Byzantine Chants and Choral music?

And what about the stuff they made in the 40s and 50s?

When you've heard it piped through shopping centre PA systems a thousand times, they lose their charm.

I know you aren't religious, Medicus, but for its own musical sake, I would by no means call Gregorian/Byzantine/Choral music bad.

The only Good Christmas songs are the Actual Religious stuff. Im Agnostic, But Noel, Noel Kicks the **** out of (Ironically) Jingle bells.

My favourite Xmas song is

Bad News (Ade Edmondson ,Rik Mayall etc ) ~ Cashing in on Christmas



Sorry for the poor quality and you have to skip the Bohemian Rhapsody but it is funny

Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Wizards in Winter

Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Christmas Canon Rock

Happy Christmas(War is Over)-by John Lennon

JIMMY GAUDET Grandma Got run over by a reindeer

I love this song, first heard it last year.
The Raveonettes - Christmas Song


I couldn't find a vid, but the Eels' 'Christmas Is Going To The Dogs' is great too.

Luckily I've always managed to avoid listening to the vast majority of Christmas music, but I still can't stand it.

Bar Slade. I love that song, it used to mean Christmas to me - they don't play it in Holland, but we nearly always came over to England for Christmas, so...

The Eagles have quite a nice Christmas-themed song (bit bluesy), but I forget the name..

Some of this stuff seems to me to be becoming traditional as its over 40 years old now

Beach Boys - Little Saint Nick

Snoopy vs. The Red Baron (Snoopy's Christmas)

The Chipmonks Please Christmas dont be late
