Is that a real song?
If so I must download it and add it to my Christmas Playlist!

The list goes on!
Lonely This Christmas - Mud

Got a few from the 'xmas with the vandals' album on my uploads, also 'cassetteboys festive xmas', which is hillarious.
Here I am lord - the vandals forgot about this one, it makes me lmao "happy birthday baby jesus, you look fantastic!"
I'll give it a listen later
Cassette boy's festive xmas (pt1)
Cassette boy's festive xmas (pt2)
Haha I love it!
Surprisingly festive!
Yes, taken from their album 'Oi to the World' - a great festive punk classic! [edited to add, oh look, I posted so much that many replies got in before I did!]
I've been listening to the first 10 albums in the 'Carols for a Cure' series - basically it's the cast of assorted Broadway shows recording songs to raise money to fight AIDS. Some really great unusual songs on there, or messed up versions of classics! I'm currently rather partial to the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels cast's 'Something Must Be Wrong With My Mistletoe', Avenue Q's 'Rod's Christmas', The Lion King's 'Angelo Rosenbaum' ( a sad tale of a Catholic Jew who has trouble finding love due to wanted to celebrate Hannukah and Christmas), but I like most of the stuff on there to be honest, but I'm a musical theatre buff... I have a heavy metal album called 'A Brutal Christmas' - that's pretty good if you like heavy stuff.
Other favourites are:
I Want An Alien For Christmas - Fountain of Wayne
Christmas Is Cancelled (This Year) - Farrah
Merry Christmas - Everyone - Shakin' Stevens
Doesn't Often Snow At Christmas - Pet Shop Boys
A Winter's Tale - David Essex
The Christmas Song (Chestnuts roasting etc.) - Nat King Cole
Christmas Bop - Smash Up Derby
Fairy Tale Of New York - The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl
and the Christmas albums of:
Tori Amos
Sarah McLachlan
Shawn Colvin
Melissa Etheridge
Thea Gilmore
The Asylum Street Spankers
The Brian Setzer Orchestra
Aimee Mann
Kristin Chenoweth
Alan Jackson
Barenaked Ladies
Jo Dee Messina
Julie Andrews
RuPaul (gives 'camp as Christmas' a whole new spin! Utterly ridiculous, but I love 'RuPaul the Red Nosed Drag Queen')
Straight No Chaser (if you haven't been one of the millions, look up their rendition of the 12 days of Christmas on YouTube - it's fabulous!)
Sorry for going on a bit - I've just created a playlist of 687 Christmas/Yule/Hannukah/Kwanza songs on my MP3 player! I hate Christmas, but I love Christmas music!
Thanks for that list, I want to get some more offbeat Christmas songs on my iPod so will be using this as my source.
Interested to see what Tori Amos does with a Christmas song!
check out Shawn Philips 'Christmas Song'

for starters !
This is my all time favourite Christmas song. I have a feeling it'd get me in the Christmassy mood any time of the year!
