Thanks Zorro! Haven't heard it in a while (I quit listening to radio due to repeating playlists and am too cheap to spring for XM or Sirrius) and I just knew it was about what a pain in the ass the holiday could be.

As a fan of weird music I also love strange Christmas tunes. I tend to go for more of the out-there stuff then novelty (although I do like Weird Al's Christmas at Ground Zero).
I recently burned a CD of strange X-mas music I culled from the net. The one source I got a lot of bizzare stuff from is April Winchell's website. There she has a section devoted to holiday music. Check out Wing's Santa Claus is Coming to Town and Winter Wonderland as played on a 8 bit Nintendo. Just a couple of twisted gems you will find.

Smackmac- you can get XM online for not-too-expensive (I just looked it up- $7.99/month. You can try it for 3 days free).

I just discovered a HILARIOUS song when I was coming back from my exam tonight. "Santa-God" by Dan Hart.

The chorus:
quote:
God and Santa Claus are coming to town
One gives you presents and the other strikes you down
I'll leave cookies for Santa, but not for god
Cause he seems to think I'm a human lightening rod

GOD I love this channel!

When Santa got stuck in the chimney, he began to shout
"You girls and boys won't get any toys,
if you don't pull me out.
"my beard is black, there's soot in my sack,
my nose is tickling too"
When santa got stuck up the chimney-
Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!

Love it! I like that Santa got himself too fat to get down, and then threatens the kids, "get me out or no presents for you!".

I guess I am a little younger then you because I wore out my '45 of The Chipmunk Song in the 70's. Not a big fan now of the Chipmunks. I guess because I guess anyone with some singing ability could be a Chipmunk. Doesn't take skill just speed up the music to give that effect.
I found this on e-baums world the other day. It slows down the music so you can actually hear Sevilles voice instead of the Chipmunks. Kinda creepy.

Since i haven't had a chance to look through this entire post yet, i apologize if i repeat any.

I am the QUEEN of sick and twisted Christmas music. It all started when i was little and my dad listened to it. he got me hooked. Everybody in my freshman dorm loved that i had the weirdest christmas songs. That added to the fact that i'm a music therapy major, and you get a very interesting mix.

i got most of it online when i could still download from napster without it being illegal, so i don't know who a lot of them are by. Most of them are more sexual in nature (hey, i'm a 20 year old college student, what do you expect)

Dirty sleigh bells.
Walking round in womens underwear
I farted on santa's lap (Now christmas is gonna stink for me)
I'll be stoned for christmas
Chubby's 12 days of christmas (very sexual!)
You're getting nothin for christmas
Grandma got run over by a reindeer

also, i came across this really cute web page that had the words to a few christmas songs re-written to deal with diabetic children. IMHO some of these are funny. http://www.childrenwithdiabetes.com/art/holiday2005.htm

[lol] - I used to do that. My old record player could play at 16 rpm so slowing it down from 78 to 16 made it sound real creepy.

Go out to the web and see if the Bob Rivers show is playing any music. They're on KZOK here in Seattle during the mornings, but I never listen because they're talking heads.

But he does do a lot of "Twisted Tunes."

Sufjan Stevens' five-disc (yeah) christmas album has a song called "Get Thee Behind Me, Santa!"

It has the classics as well....Pretty cool for a christmas album

They did do a Christmas record every year (usually about five minutes long, IIRC) for members of their fan club, on which they would occasionally do Christmas songs (often improvised, such as "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Ringo"). They did do a studio track once called "Christmas Time Is Here Again", which is on the "Free As A Bird" EP. Bits of it appeared on their 1967 Christmas album. I used to have all of the Christmas albums on LP.
