Christmas Classix

[breakwall]

I put the x in there to be cool.

I lost all my christmas mp3s and need to replace them. But *insert Dora Explorer Voice* I need YOUR HELP!
Will you help me compile a list of great Christmas classics and songs? Will you? Huh?

I already have Jingle Bells by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters, Sleigh Ride by Leroy Anderson, Zat You Santa Claus by Louis Armstrong and Run Run Rudolph by Sheryl Crow...

Please add your Cool Yule tunes here!

No collection is complete without:

I admit, those are new ones to me.
But Christmastime in Tinseltown by Big Voodoo Daddy is worth a check.

I was only kidding. Those songs suck. I just wanted you to waste your time downloading them and enjoy that "What the fuck?!" moment when you heard them.

Hey, I have a pretty high tolerance for bad music.
Our office listens to one of those crappy "Music for your Workday" radio stations. Because you can never get too much Michael Bolton.

I seem to remember a sucking country thread...I wanted you to have a complete collection. Now, I could have suggested a song by Wynona and Kenny Rogers, but I passed. That's even too much plastic country for me.

Bwahaha!

How bout some of that real whiney stuff. Is there a George Strait song "My Baby Left Me on Christmas Eve (and Took my Dog)"?

 

[bluntforcemama]

You put the X there to be EMO!

 

[Raidho]

How could anything with Ella Fitzgerald singing not be considered classic?

Slap some reindeer sleigh noises behind it, and you're done.

 

[allium]

It's not traditional but it's beautiful:

Calling on Mary - Aimee Mann

Her version of 'Have yourself a very Merry Christmas' is great too.

I used to have a MASSIVE crush on her when she was with Til Tuesday.
