Funny / Off the Wall - Christmas Songs?
Local radio station plays all the "Christmas Classics" all December long - but you never hear the "off the wall" stuff.
Who's got some "alternative" Christmas songs to share? Last edited by fanaudical; 12-23-2021 at 11:57 AM.. Reason: Last link wasn't shareable - replaced... |

I've never understood Weird Al. I don't dislike him, his stuff just doesn't do it for me.

Weird Al is certainly an "acquired taste"...

This is pretty different for a Christmas song. Just to be 100% clear, I do NOT want a Mistress for Christmas. I just like how this is pretty decent rock and roll, and not the average Christmas song. The other day we went to lunch and the restaurant was playing kids songs from 1960s TV Christmas specials. It was torture.

This was done by a local radio show in the 90s.

From 1955...a 'narrative vocal' (early rap?)
 Babs Gonzales 'Twas the black before Christmas And all through the dorm The scene was deserted But for old Pops and Mom There they sat, hung, in their big easy chair Goofed on eggnog, sherry and beer Sis and Little Junior lie snoozing in bed, While visions of Cadillacs danced in their heads Moms jumped up and said, "Pops, let's quit it to bed We can't let Santa dig us with our eyes all red." Then out on the stoop, oo-wee! Such a clatter Pops split to the porthole to see what was the matter His heart did the jumps and he fell straight back When his glimmers fell on a red Cadillac Stashed in front was a cat, cool as any With a red beaver hat and a red cashmere benny His ground pads was suede shoes And his red tweed vine cost heavy dues He wore a red-on-red shirt and a white mink tie Some crazy-rimmed glasses that covered one eye Old Pop's peepers grew large, round and white As he dug this crazy vista on Christmas Eve night The cat leaped from his short and laid down his sack He began wailing like mad the cool "Applejack" Then up to the rooftops the Cadillac flew And the Cat In Red followed on through Pops was wigged behind this crazy scene and before he was straight Down came the cat right through the chimney grate A bag of jive he had on his back As he stood digging Pops, who was blowing his stack His eyeballs were hid by some coal-black shades When Pops dug this action, he knew this cat was made A king-sized cigarette hung from his chops As he eased up close and sounded on Pops "I'm the Be-Bop Santa from the cool North Pole And I've been down since the days of old I'm known all over from here to eternity And a stud's mighty square if he don't dig me! So cast thy peepers into my righteous bag and see What insane object I shall lay on thee Here's a record by Diz, cut when he was two A real boss arrangement of 'Ool-Ya-Koo.' For Moms, a mink outfit; Chanel No.5 And for you, little kiddies, my new book on jive" "So that's it, Pops!", Santa did shout Then he buttoned his cashmere and quickly cut out Poor Pops was wiggin' and he was out of his head To dig this wild character who wore all red He ran to the table to cop him a drink To quiet his nerves and to help him to think Just then, from below, he heard a voice shout, "Have a crazy, cool Christmas but don't get knocked out!" .

The "popular" Christmas music just tries too hard to be moving and meaningful, at least when sung. My listening is mostly instrumental versions.

We just spent the evening blasting Corn, Rammstein, Metallica, Limp Buiscut, Slipknot and Motorhead.
My wife commented we should be playing Christmas songs. So I found this. https://youtu.be/Bf0wQZqpRrg Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

I'm shocked no one has posted the Jingle Dogs or Alvin and the Chipmunks
