What's your current favourite Christmas tune

[Macator2003]

I know its not fashionable to like Christmas music.

They start pumping it out at the Malls around the middle of October.

Some of the radio stations are boasting about still being Christmas music free, but I love certain tunes. They take me back to my childhood, bring back some really great memories.

What is your favourite tune at this point in time.

I heard one on the way home from work yesterday afternoon that does it for me. It was Chris de Burgh, from the album "Spanish Train and other stories".

"A spaceman came travelling"

Go to discography and click Spanish Train and other stories choosing A spaceman came travelling

Just click the audio to the right of the title for a sample of this beautiful song.

I Won't Be Home For Christmas

​

I Won't Be Home For Christmas
Blink 182
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy9_JjLnmZI

(Deck the halls with boughs of holly fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
(Tis the season to be jolly fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

Outside the carolers start to sing
I can't describe the joy they bring
Cause joy is something they don't bring me

My girlfriend is by my side
From the roof are hanging sickles of ice
Their whiny voices get irritating
It's Christmas time again

So I stand with a dead smile on my face
Wondering how much of my time they'll waste
Oh God I hate these Satan's helpers

And then I guess I must have snapped
Because I grabbed a baseball bat
And made them all run for shelter

It's Christmas time again
It's time to be nice to the people you can't stand all year
I'm growing tired of all this Christmas cheer
You people scare me
Please stay away from my home
If you don't wanna get beat down
Just leave the presents and then leave me alone.

Well I guess it's not cool to freak on Christmas Eve
Cause the cops came and arrested me
They had an unfair advantage

And even though the jail didn't have a tree
Christmas came a night early
Causes a guy named Bubba unwrapped my package (hot damn)

It's Christmas time again
It's time to be nice to the people you can't stand all year
I'm growing tired of all this Christmas cheer
You people scare me
Please stay away from my home
If you don't wanna get beat down
Just leave the presents and then leave me alone

I won't be home
I won't be home for Christmas
I won't be home
I won't be home for Christmas (please post my bail)
I won't be home
I won't be home for Christmas (please post my bail)
I won't be home
I won't be home for Christmas (please post my bail)
I won't be home
I won't be home for Christmas (please post my bail)
I won't be home
I won't be home for Christmas

Bing Crosby and David Bowie, Little Drummer Boy, always loved the song , they did it up perfectly, even if the duet combination had me scratching my head

One of my favorites too! I get goosebumps when Bowie starts to sing "peace on earth..." it's just so beautiful.

Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer by Elmo and Patsy....it's got great lyrics and it's easy to dance to

 

[Keebler Elf]

Oh Come All Ye Faithful by Twisted Sister!!! (sung to the music of We're Not Gunna Take It!)

I highly recommend this album of Christmas carols for any heavy metal fan. One of my best music purchases ever! What I really like is that they didn't change the lyrics, they just set them to the music of Twisted Sister.

FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrAwK9juhhY

It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

Thanks for the link! I've never heard that one before. (I also got chills, especially when Bowie went into his solo bit.)

I've always like this one:
