These aren’t the Christmas songs they’re playing on the radio.

They’re not the songs you’ll hear at the mall.

I can pretty much guarantee that one listen to some of these will be enough.  I do hope, however, that among the others you may discover something new to add to your listening repertoire.

Totally Out There

This album is a compilation of songs all done in the style of various video games.  What you get is a mash-up of video game music and classic Christmas songs.

–

 

So…. did YOU know that there was a Star Wars Christmas album put out in 1980?

–

–

 

And if you knew that, did you know that on it is Jon Bon Jovi’s first professional recording?

–

–

 

Weird Al’s modern classic may not be one you want to watch with the kiddos around.  It’s….. a little more violent than most Christmas songs.

–

–

 

My family first heard this song a couple of years ago.  And frankly, we love it.  It makes us very happy.

–

This is just weird.  There’s nothing else to say about it.

Retro Glory

It’s a Very Brady Christmas!

–

–

And how could we have the Bradys without also featuring the Partridge Family?!

–

–

 

Did Yuletide Disco need to be made?  No, but I’m glad it did.  What else am I supposed to dance to at Christmas time while pretending to be one of Charlie’s Angels?

Stars Who Tried Their Hand at Christmas Songs…You Be the Judge

When Regis Philbin makes an animated Christmas video, of course his pal, not-yet-President, Donald Trump makes an appearance.

–

There’s yelling.  There’s auto-tuning.  Oh how I wish there were a video to go along with this trainwreck.  I’m picturing ruffle-y mariachi sleeves and maracas.

I was a big NKOTB fan back in the day.  Apparently not a big enough fan, though, as I never heard of this gem.

–

–

I was also a Crash Test Dummies fan…much to my college roommate’s chagrin.  If you went through the “Mmm..Mmm..Mmm..Mmm” phase too, you’re gonna love this!

–

–

Want to see Billy Idol trying way too hard…here’s your chance.

–

–

Weezer and Christmas music do not a pair make in my world.  (I’m a big fan of The Sweater Song, don’t get me wrong.)  But this is not my bag.  But that’s not to say it won’t be yours.

–

–

The tale of a department store Santa being mugged…sure, that’s the Christmas spirit.

–

–

 

William Shatner…yes please.

Successful Surprises

You may know Seth MacFarlane as the creator and voice talent on ‘Family Guy’…but did you know that his singing voice is smooth like Frank Sinatra?  This song comes from a whole Christmas album that got a lot of play time last year at my house.

–

–

 

This was a real treat to stumble upon.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Country music isn’t my favorite, but I do like me some Garth Brooks.  I owned his Christmas album on cassette back in college.  This song gives me chill bumps.

You Might Not Have Heard…

Unless you are in the Twin Cities area, you have probably never heard of Lorie Line.  A family friend of ours used to work for her, and so my parents got us tickets to see her perform a few years.  What a show!  Lorie is an incredibly gifted pianist, but her shows were a mix of a full swing band, theatrics and fantastic vocals.  I like to put her Christmas songs on for a quiet afternoon around the house.

 

‘Zat You?

The great Louis Armstrong.  A made up word.  And Santa.  What could be wrong with that…I mean ‘zat?!  ‘Zat You Santa Claus has been remade by the likes of Buster Poindexter and the Brian Setzer Orchestra.  But we’re going to stick with the original “Zat”.

–

So, how ‘zat for a list of Christmas songs?!

 

 

This is my “Z” post  (‘Zat) for my Crazy4Blogging group.  You can go back and read “C”, “R”, and “A“…… “Y” to come next week!

 

Some of these Christmas songs will make you cringe, some will make you laugh, others will be a welcome addition to your listening repertoire.

  6. Haha, loved it! I’m so glad you included Jingle Cats – I thought of them before I saw it on your list… one year, a college roommate gave me that CD. Oh, MY! I’m not typically even a cat fan, it’s interesting! LOL Thanks for the smile today!
