Off the norm Christmas tunes

[BazzaBass]

Share anything Christmas music but the old standards. I'll start.

 

[WI Short Scaler]

My favorite non-standard Christmas song

 

[TroyK]

This whole album...

 

[scuzzy]

I've always wanted a quality metal Christmas album....this one is fun.

 

[40Hz]

Katzenjammer’s take on The Pogue’s Fairytale of New York.

 

[Brother Goose]

Kurtis Blow

 

[Brother Goose]

Beat Street Xmas Rap

 

[pigsonthewing]

 

[wraub]

 

[dave64o]

Rockin’ Around the a Christmas Tree done to the tune of I Saw Her Standing There

 

[staurosjohn]

We’re playing this next Sunday... is a ‘traditional’ song- but not a traditional version... fun to play!

 

[Beetfarm615]

 

[edencab]

 

[hieronymous]

(If you're familiar with Phish, this song has a section that utilizes a melody from "Divided Sky")

And this is a classic but a cool version - I was a fan of the Fabulous Thunderbirds when I was in high school, I was into Stevie Ray Vaughan, Wrap It Up & Tuff Enuff were on MTV, saw them live in Tokyo around '86 and heard them play this. Gradually discovered the earlier stuff with Keith Ferguson, I'm pretty sure he's on this. Anyway:

 

[design]

from SCROOGE - The Musical!

Eric Idle - Christmas Song -NOT SAFE FOR WORK!
Edit: whole version

 

[PrinceByTor]

 

[-Asdfgh-]

Solstice Bells by Jethro Tull used to be 'off the norm' but now seems to have become almost a mainstream Christmas song. Finally Tull is hip again!

 

[Remoman]

Two favorites I listen to every year:

 

[Biffa]

Lindisfarne, 'Winter Song', when it gets to the line,
"Do you spare a thought for Jesus, who had nothing but his thoughts",
Who got busted just for talking, and befriending the wrong sort,

...its time to get the hankies out! Look for the album version

 

[pcake]

This whole album...

not only did i really like this one - it stuck in my head after only one listen, so i came back to hear it again
