Title: OT: What weird Christmas song does it for you?
Post by: Mastiff 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.

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

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.
