Title: Post a non-obvious Christmas song that you really like...
Post by: Master Ray on December 02, 2014, 08:48:14 PM
... OK, it's only the second of December and I'm already sick of the usual songs... they're bloody everywhere... so, seeing as we're stuck with the whole Christmas thing, post us something you might not have heard...  ???

Love this one, Tom Mcrae, his version of 'Wonderful Christmas Time'... funny how a silly pop song can become all emotive when you take it down a few notches... really like the video, too...

Ditto The Manic Street Preachers with 'Last Christmas'...

One last one, Low, 'Silent Night'... gorgeous...

What Xmas tunes are you lot fond of?  Anyone who brings up Shakin' Stevens gets a virtual / internet punch in the face...  :D

It's cynical poetry at it's very best!  Glad it made you laugh, Ray.

NOFX made the brilliant Xmas Has Been X'd a couple of years ago:

 :D

And around the same time, Dropkick Murphys made this gem:

Of course, Bad Religion trumped the lot of them everyone with a whole album of Xmas songs

Bit gothic-rock, but I know some of you like this sort of thing... Type O Negative, Red Water / Christmas Mourning...
