As I said earlier, I think this guy does a really great version despite being produced by Simon Cowell. But if you want a little soulful gospel you could check out Aretha and Billy Preston.

Have to say, just watched the David Bowie/Bing Crosby 'Little Drummer Boy' and Jesus, that thing still sends chills down my spine. As perfect a Christmas song as any, and the banter beforehand is priceless.

Simply wonderful.

Christmas Wrapping. So 80s it hurts and I love it, absolutely love it.

Edit: for the record, it's a great song and in no ways should it be misconstrued as a candidate for "worst Christmas song".

I actually heard a request this morning for the dogs barking Jingle Bells.

I once sang a part of Christmas Shoes on stage. As Edgar Allen Poe.

Nothing beats "O Come All Ye Black Folk" by Rich White Kids From Tufts.

I actually find Christmas choir music to be incredibly creepy. I used to have nightmares about being chased down long dark streets that were set to...fuck. What is that one song? Ding...dong...ding...dong...merry merry merry merry merry christmas...it's in Home Alone right after Kevin talks to the shovel guy in the church...anyway, that song scares the shits out of me.

That's Carol of the Bells, I'm still trying to track down the version which is used right at the start of the Addams Family.

Generally I love Christmas music. But in my nightmares, Satan is voiced by Burl Ives.

Merry Christmas, fuckers:

On a related note, I went to a corporate Christmas party last week, and the Christmas music there was pretty bland. At least we were spared "Christmas Shoes," but I requested "Christmas in Hollis" and the DJ didn't have it. To which I say to you, "What self-respecting dj goes to a Christmas party without Christmas in Hollis?"

It was December 24th on Hollis Ave in the dark
When I seen a man chilling with his dog in the park
I approached very slowly with my heart full of fear
Looked at his dog, oh my God, an ill reindeer
But then I was illin because the man had a beard
And a bag full of goodies, 12 o'clock had neared
So I turned my head a second and the man had gone
But he left his driver's wallet smack dead on the lawn
I picket the wallet up then I took a pause
Took out the license and it cold said "Santa Claus"
A million dollars in it, cold hundreds of G's
Enough to buy a boat and matching car with ease
But I'd never steal from Santa, cause that ain't right
So I'm going home to mail it back to him that night
But when I got home I bugged, cause under the tree
Was a letter from Santa and all the dough was for me!

I pretty much hate all Christmas music. Most of the exceptions to my personal rule have already been posted in this thread, which generally includes non-Christmassy Christmas music.

Ouch, Billy Joel. Ouch.

Joel wrote that, for the record. Although the "Hallelujah/Hoo-ah" part is nifty.

Little Saint Nick, by the Beach Boys, has always infuriated me.

Though I have to admit, my most hated christmas music is this cd my mom has called "nature's christmas". It has like all these acoustic guitars lilting around slowly all the while there is like birds chirping and the sound of a babbling brook. No other music has made me want to murder someone more.

I heard once that Bowie has the masters of them doing a duet of "Scary Monsters"

I actually heard this today played on CKUA as a Christmas song. I pretty sure calling it a Christmas song is a stretch but holy crap is it awesome.

1. This is NOT an emotionally shallow song about a boy borrowing money.
2. This is NOT a song just to get the mentally ill people excited.
You're all on notice.

Also, as soon as you move away from pop, the Christmas music starts to get really good, 'Once in Royal David's City' good. Best. Descant. Ever.

Linus & Lucy is one of my favorite pieces of piano music ever. I refuse to count it as Christmas music, though, since it wound up being used in all the Peanuts specials.

Gaze into the face of war. I'm not kidding. England, you're now on notice.
