OT: What weird Christmas song does it for you?
« on: December 22, 2004, 04:26:00 pm »

Many have a Christmas song that gets them in the right mood, and it would be interesting if anybody had a very obscure or strange one. Mine's The Pogues and Christy McColl  - Fairy Tale of New York. Can't eat Christmas dinner if I haven't heard that one first! Oh, if you have a chanukkah (sp?) or ramadan (sp?) song that does it for you, or another song for a main holiday in your faith, that would be fun to read as well - full equality rules. I'm an atheist, but I still love that song, and Christmas is necessary for the kids...and the big kid, a.k.a. mrs. Mastiff.  ;D

Dunno if this is weird, but the song for me is Dave Mathews Band's Christmas Song. Best telling of the actual Christ story I've heard.

From South Park. Can't put the name of it here as it is not clean.
Merry ******* Christmas

Puts me in the proper Christmas spirit.


Thank you Mr. Hand

It's NOT weird - but it sounds great.... If you're a seventies' music lover like me....

"I believe in Father Christmas" by Greg Lake (without Emerson & Palmer)


Merry Xmas to everyone!

"Stop the Cavalry" by Jonah Louie. Don't know why, but it just makes me feel good.

Here are the lyrics:

Hey, Mr. Churchill comes over here
to say we're doing splendidly
But it's very cold out here in the snow,
marching to win from the enemy
Oh I say it's tough,I have had enough
Can you stop the cavalry?
I have had to fight, almost every night
down throughout these centuries
That is when I say, oh yes yet again
Can you stop the cavalry?
Mary Bradley waits at home
in the nuclear fall-out zone
Wish I could be dancing now
in the arms of the girl I love

Chorus:
Dub a dub a dum dum
Dub a dub a dum
Dub a dum dum dub a dub
Dub a dub a dum
Dub a dub a dum dum
Dub a dub a dum
Dub a dum dum dub a dub
Dub a dub a dum
Wish I was at home for Christmas

Bang! That's another bomb on another town
While Luzar and Jim have tea
If I get home, live to tell the tale
I'll run for all presidencies
If I get elected I'll stop - I will stop the cavalry

Chorus

Wish I could be dancing now
in the arms of the girl I love
Mary Bradley waits at home
She has been waiting 2 years long
Wish I was at home for Christmas

Still like: John Lennon's "Happy Christmas - Give Peace A Chance". (from "Shaved Fish" - 1975)

I totally agree with mastiff (but then I agree with Tor on most things).  The Pogues & Kirsty Mccoll is definately the best christmas record of all time IMO.
