Christmas Music

Prudence · 12-01-2007, 11:53 PM

I love Christmas music.

I've been looking for some non-traditional stuff, and so far I can recommend "Oy to the World", by the Klezmonauts - seriously! It's kind of fun, and their version of "Carol of the Bells" is actually quite beautiful.

And if you want really crazy - on the otherwise traditional "Happy Holidays" album from the US Navy Band is "Dueling Jingle Bells". Yes, it's what you think. Fire up the banjos!

Anyone else have recommendations?

I've got a couple of Motown Christmas CDs that have some pretty good stuff on them. Oh, and a Phil Spector/Motown one that's decent too. I need to dig them out.

Twisted Sister's Twisted Christmas is amusing.

Bob Rivers has a couple disks out that are great. Stuff like "The Restroom Door Said Gentlemen"," Wreck the Malls","There's Something Stuck Up In the Chimny" - A great rendition of "The Nutcracker Suite" with Richard Simmons. Hysterical.

Also, heheh there "What's It Gonna Be Santa?" from Chicago!

vvvvv

But because it's so cold outside... Fellas? What do you say we heat it up?

Yeah!

Uh!

Yowza!

No doubt some of our LA buddies have heard of the great Dick Cheese and his cover of Vince Guaraldi Trio's "Christmas Time is Here". Think Bill Murray's SNL lounge singer in a tiger striped tuxedo jacket

PM me with your email address if you like and I'll send you an .mp3.

At the end of The Madagascar Penguins Christmas short, there's a fun Klezmer version of Jingle Bells.

On a personal note, one of these years I'll finish my compilation of holiday songs for the intermarried couple. So far I'm up to "Oy, Tanenbaum," "Dreidel, shmeidel," "Oh hell," and "Enough!" (Dayenu!)

I'm looking forward to pulling out the Christmas Remixed CD

Apparently, there's a Volume 2 out.

I have two Christmas CDs by the Fab Four that are odd but they've grown on me.

Yep. There's 1 and 2 and they're both good.
There's also Merry Mixmas. It's good, too.
