s/o Favorite non-traditional Christmas Songs


Recommended Posts

a few 'different' ones that i like....

 

Deck the Halls ~ SheDaisy [i know it's a common song, but i like how they do it]

 

Christmas Don't Be Late! ~ Alvin & the Chipmunks

 

Santa's Gonna Come in a Pickup Truck ~ Alan Jackson w/ the Chipmunks

 

Christmas at Ground Zero ~ Weird Al ***

 

 

*** i posted this on a diff forum a couple of christmases ago and a few ladies went nuts at me because they assumed "ground zero" was connected to 9/11 -- IT'S NOT. this was created in 1986. it may not be to everyone's taste, but i happen to like weird al. ok? ok. /disclaimer ;)

It was Christmas Eve babe

In the drunk tank

An old man said to me, won't see another one

And then he sang a song

'The Rare Old Mountain Dew'

And I turned my face away

And dreamed about you

 

Got on a lucky one

Came in eighteen to one

I've got a feeling

This year's for me and you

So happy Christmas

I love you baby

I can see a better time

When all our dreams come true

 

They've got cars

Big as bars

They've got rivers of gold

But the wind goes

Right through you

It's no place for the old

When you first took my hand

On a cold Christmas Eve

You promised me

Broadway was waiting for me

 

You were handsome

You were pretty

Queen of New York City

When the band finished playing

They howled out for more

Sinatra was swinging,

All the drunks they were singing

We kissed on a corner

Then danced through the night

 

The boys of the NYPD choir

Were singing 'Galway Bay'

And the bells were ringing

Out for Christmas Day

 

You're a bum

You're a punk

You're an old slut on junk

Lying there almost dead on a drip

In that bed

 

You scum bag

You maggot

You cheap lousy f@ggot

Happy Christmas your arse

I pray God

It's our last

 

The boys of the NYPD choir

Were singing 'Galway Bay'

And the bells were ringing

Out for Christmas Day

 

I could have been someone

Well so could anyone

You took my dreams

From me when I first found you

I kept them with me babe

I put them with my own

Can't make it all alone

I've built my dreams around you

 

The boys of the NYPD choir

Not exactly songs for Christmas worship, but some of our secular faves:

 

 

- Weird Al (who says that not believing in Santa takes away a child's fun? My kids LOVE this!!)

 

 

- Straight No Chaser

In my family... our favorite Christmas song is one we made up. I think all 8 of us (5 boys and 3 girls) had finally managed to make my Father mad.... we had a fire burning in the fireplace and had been throwing batteries in it to watch them explode... pretty cool stuff. :D Well, Dad didn't think it was funny and started throwing our Christmas presents into the fire, too. My Mom stopped him after one or two presents burned............ and we started singing........

 

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas,

Daddy burned our toys.

 

He chopped down the tree,

Kicked the birds and bees.

 

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas to me!

 

 

 

 

:lol::lol::lol: Dad didn't think it was funny. bwaaaaahaaaahaaaa!

 

He laughs about it now, though. We all sing this song every Christmas....each in our own homes, wherever they may be.

 

Ahhhhhhh! Good, good memories.

Love Christmas music----traditional and not-so-traditional.

 

One of my favorite Christmas songs ever is Carol of the Bells. I can't even tell you how many versions of it I have on my iPod. Here is a much less-traditional version of this gorgeous, traditional song, performed by the metal band, August Burns Red.

Carol of the Bells is my all time favorite traditional Christmas song. I'd never heard it played like it was in your link. I've just got to say I LOVE IT! So cool! :thumbup:

I LOVE that song! Although the cover by No Use for a Name is my favourite.
