Barenaked For The Holidays has some great tracks but Elf’s Lament is my favorite since it’s a cynical take on the commercialism of Christmas. https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=M4dxqHmhLaE
- Stan Rogers - First Christmas
- Tim Minchin - White Wine in the Sun
- Paul Kelly - How to Make Gravy
- Band Aid - Do They Know It’s Christmas
might add more later if i think of them
Patty Gurdy feat. Fiddler’s Green - The Yule Fiddler (Christmas Time Is Coming 'Round Today) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqesZeoiE6I
She has a lot of great stuff with a rare instrument, she’s also in a pirate-metal band playing it
Carol of the bells fucks
I like The Yule Fiddler.
Finally a christmas thread where I can answer with passion: August Burns Red - Flurries
Volume: 11/10
It’s an instrumental, but nobody in their right mind would claim that it’s anything but a Christmas song.
Fairytale of New York by The Pogues
Cashing in on Christmas by Bad News
Fuck Christmas by Fear
A Christmas Song by Jethro Tull
It’s only a Christmas song in context, but In Our World from Emmet Otter’s Jug Band Christmas popped into my head a couple days ago.
My two favorites:
Santa Claus Go(es) Straight To The Ghetto by James Brown
Ain’t No Chimneys In The Projects by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings
Yelling at the Christmas tree by Billy Idol
The Pogues - Fairytale Of New York
Dropkick Murphys - The Season’s Upon Us
Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday
The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping
Slade - Merry Christmas Everybody
The Flaming Lips - Christmas At The Zoo
Fountains of Wayne - I want an alien for Christmas
Excellent tracklist. The Pogues are heavily featured in our household
Classic:
Gloucestershire Wassail
Modern Enough:
Weird Al’s Christmas At Ground Zero
