Fun Christmas songs to play on bass?
 
Me and a friend are planning on playing a song or two at a christmas party and I was looking for a fun song to play. Any recommendations? I don't think either of us will sing so something we can do with just guitar and bass would be good.

Carol of the Bells is always cool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR4g31hMM0o

Try this one. The Waitresses from 1981. Great bass work :)

This song is hugely popular around here for the last 55 years. However, it is done completely a cappella.

Hardrock, Coco and Joe

I like the Gary Hoey version of You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch

That one would be awesome but is far beyond my playing ability lol.

That Grinch one is cool, wonder if the my guitarist can play it.

Mariah carey's silent night! some seriously beautiful bass work on that track... you'll need a five string though... very gospel! :)
