What's a good classic X-Mas song?

joemaconmovies - 12-6-2005 at 12:22 PM

I'm curious to what people think. If you know the song and who does it, that would be cool. I'm not looking for anything to punky, like The Ramones X-Mas song, just classic kinda shit. I'm using it for a special project that you'll all enjoy, I believe. Any suggestions? Actually, after the classic post, what's your favorite X-Mas tune anyways, regardless of who does it or how it sounds.

Myself personally, am a big fan of "Carol Of The Bells" by Trans-Siberiean Orchestra (the song has a different name) and "Merry Christmas (I Don't Wanna Fight Tonight)" by The Ramones.

For classics I like "Rockin Around the Christmas Tree" or "These Three Kings" (I think thats what its called)

For Non-Standards....

Fuck Christmas - Fear
the entire Ren & Stimpy - Crock O' Christmas CD
Both Brian Setzer Orchestra CDs.

The Reverend Horton Heats Christmas CD is amazing!!!!! If you love the Rev and you love Christmas tunes, then you'll love this album.
For classics it's gotta be

Blue Christmas by the King.

I hate christmas music, but Slade's "Merry Xmas Everybody" comes to mind

I just found out that Smash Mouth has an X-Mas cd with "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight)" and that hurts me deep deep down inside.

"Christmas Time for my Penis" by the Vandals - Love this song (and my Penis)

The Ramones song is a good call!

My personal favorite Christmas song is 'O Holy Night' but its gotta be the right person doing it. Preferably a choir of some sort. I heard Pavarotti do it and shit was terrible.
