Seasonal songs that are just a little bit different from the regular standards.

My favorite Xmas song:

[Chester P Squier]

My son told the the other day that I am the same age that Bing Crosby was in that video, but that I look much younger.

I think it's just a perception thing.

That son deserves an extra nice Christmas present!

 

[Old Deaf Roadie]

Have always been fond of this one.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is somewhat odd (though not in the Fairytale of NY class), but the original lyrics were a bit more twisted.



Original lyrics

Have yourself a merry little Christmas.
It may be your last.
Next year we may all be living in the past.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas.
Pop that champagne cork.
Next year we may all be living in New York.

No good times like the olden days.
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who were dear to us.
Will be near to us no more.

But at least we all will be together.
If the Lord allows.
From now on, we'll have to muddle through somehow.
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

I always thought that saying "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" was belittling

I'm searching for some punk rock Christmas songs.

I can't find anything that won't get me banned (again).

Edit: OMG it's getting worse.

 

[Otisblove]

My favorite. I would bet good money 90+% of my fellow Americans don’t get the joke in the title.

 

[ClashCityTele]

Ah, this is fairly safe.



And this.



And this is just plain scary.

This song brings back nice memories of last year's holiday season, during which I went to my first holiday party at work since the pandemic began (which was fun) and had my first holiday gig in 3 years (which was less fun, although I always enjoy playing).
