Off the norm Christmas tunes

Low's "Just Like Christmas" is pretty great.

My favorite Christmas mashup.

 

[Tigerpig]

 

[Bunk McNulty]

oh, how could i forget this one? it's called christmas at the airport from nick lowe, and the first time i heard it, we were driving and looking at christmas lights....



and there's an acoustic live version

Love the security guy in the cartoon version. TSA: Totally Stupid Administration.

Someone tipped JB's "Go Power..." Anything from "Santa's Got a BRand New Bag" is .

I'll claim these as "off the norm" because none of the normies (and they're all normies) at my job dig them:

I adore this take on "12 Days":


And then...

Sometimes all you need is one chord...

Make it an incredible Xmas...

An oldie but goodie: The NY Herald Tribune went out of business in 1966.

Some of my favorites:

"Oi to the World" by The Vandals:

"Credit Crunch Christmas" by The Toy Dolls:

"The Night Santa Went Crazy" by Weird Al:

"This Time of Year" by Mighty Mighty Bosstones:

"Winter Wonderland" by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass:

"Christmas Party" by The Dead Milkmen:

Some of my favorite NSFW Christmas songs include "Christmas in Las Vegas" by Richard Cheese, "The Season's Upon Us" by Dropkick Murphys, and "My Mother Gave Me a Gun for Christmas" by The Pork Dukes.

[AudioTaper]

Not bass-heavy, but her former band was Nightwish and Marco is awesome

 

[KarateChris]

Here's another. It is a Christmas song, he says "If today was Christmas Eve, if today was Christmas eve, and tomorrow was Christmas day."

 

[AudioTaper]

Another that's not bass-heavy, but good guitar player and a super nice guy

Beat me to The Waitresses! I love that tune, largely bc of Tracy Wormworth's killer bass line. I have to refrain myself from listening to it during the rest of the year bc I don't want to wear it out, but then there's a part of me that thinks I'd never get tired of it anyway.
