Are you hanging all your stockings on the wall?

What's your "Best. Christmas. Song. Ever." song?

Mine is Slade's "Merry Xmas Everybody".
Close second is The Pogues "Fairytale Of New York"

Sixpence None The Richer's "It came upon a midnight clear" is absolutely gorgeous.

The Bird and the Bee's "Carol of the Bells" is hauntingly beautiful, and Josh Groban's "O Holy Night" gives me chills and tears every time I hear it!

Ben Fold's Five - "Brick"

six AM
day after christmas
I throw some clothes on
in the dark
the smell of cold
car seat is freezing
the world is sleeping and I am
numb
up the stairs
to her apartment
she is balled up on the couch
her mom and dad
went down to charlotte
they're not home to find us
out

and we drive
now that I have found someone
I'm feeling more alone
than I ever have before

she's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
she's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

they call her name at seven-thirty
I pace around the parking lot
then I walk down to buy her flowers
and sell some gifts that I got
can't you see
it's not me you're dying for
now she's feeling more alone
than she ever has before

she's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
she's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

as weeks went by
it showed that she was not fine
they told me son it's time
to tell the truth
and she broke down
and I broke down
cause I was tired of lying
driving back to her apartment
for the moment were alone
she's alone
and I'm alone
now I know it

Never mind all the classics. My favourite Christmas song is a little calypso number called 'A Present for Sallie'. It's the heartwarming tale of a man who goes out drinking and partying on Christmas Eve and loses his wife's Christmas present; when he gets home, she sends him back out to find it, and he immediately goes back to drinking and partying. Then, when she catches up to him on Christmas morning, she beats him so badly with the rum bottles he emptied that he needs to be hospitalised. It's psychotic and hilarious, and it sounds terrific.

***CaptHayfever*** · 12-05-2007, 05:32 PM

"The Night Santa Went Crazy"
"Christmas at Ground Zero"
"Peril of the Heck" (my parody of the ever-dreary "Carol of the Bells," which only Trans-Siberian Orchestra can perform with any life)
"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings" (as performed by BNL with Sarah Maclachlainaln)
"Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" (as performed by Y-O-U)

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

**Valigarmander** · 12-05-2007, 06:10 PM

The Darkness - Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End)

As for classical Xmas songs, I'm rather fond of Frosty the Snowman.

Wyborn · 12-05-2007, 07:55 PM

You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch
Greensleeves

The latter's not really a Christmas song but you hear it a lot more this season for some reason.

Uh...are you even slightly for real? Because this sounds an awful lot like the joke about the American guy who couldn't figure out why he kept hearing 'My Country, Tis Of Thee' when he was on vacation in Britain...

Really now? Tell me more.

Panfan · 12-05-2007, 08:21 PM

Basically any of Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Christmas stuff.

***Marilink*** · 12-05-2007, 08:22 PM

Greensleeves is the tune used for the popular hymn "What Child is This?"

In this day and age, they're pretty much synonymous.

***Booyakasha*** · 12-05-2007, 08:26 PM

^Blast! Ninja'd! I cuss you, Marilink! I cuss you so bad!

***CaptHayfever*** · 12-06-2007, 12:55 PM

"Elf's Lament"
"You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch"
"The 12 Days of Christmas" (regular, Bob & Doug McKensie, Veggie Tales, & True Men versions)
"Children, Go Where I Send Thee"

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

"Run Run Rudolph' and "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" are favorites of mine.

**Galefore** · 12-06-2007, 11:00 PM

Carol of the Bells and Greensleeves.

Kargath · 12-06-2007, 11:07 PM

Stocking? How about a sack?

I'm partial to the Drummer Boy song myself.
