Fountains of Wayne - Alien for Christmas.

Not Christmas in our house till we've played that and all sung our heads off.

oh dear, I’m sorry

I guess they've already done "All want for Christmas is 2 front teeth" and "All I want for Christmas is a Beatle"?

I don't think so - but I haven't double checked! I reckon you can claim those.

If cover songs can be included:
White Christmas - Guns'n'Roses
Santa Claws - Alice Cooper (cover version of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town)
Twisted Sister have a lot of heavy metal style versions of Christmas songs

Also:
Winter Song - Ronan Keating or the original by Sara Bareilles & Ingrid Michaelson
It's Only Christmas - Ronan Keating (even if you don't like Ronan Keating, give this song a try. The lyrics are just perfect, especially if you have ever found Christmas difficult or lost a loved one)
Ring Them Bells - Bob Dylan

I'll Be Home by Meghan Trainor - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P8RU_dHyi4

Pentatonix have some good albums with Christmas songs and covers, I like this mash-up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijFjezcPNoc

And not a song in the traditional sense as it's meant to be comedy, but I think White Wine in the Sun by Tim Minchin is beautiful - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCNvZqpa-7Q

Found this thread on page 3. Did it peak too early?


I don't think we've had this one from Loudon Wainwright yet.
