Still More Weird Christmas Songs, Vol. 2

Here's another cacophonous collection of Weird Christmas Songs to baffle, befuddle, and boggle the mind. Enjoy?  ~  JH



1)  Mr. Christmas  ~  “It’s Christmas Everyday!”  (Not a bad song, actually. But he is one weird guy!)




2)  Tarrus Riley  ~  “Crime-Free Christmas”  (It’s the least any of us could wish for, right?)




3)  Leroy Carr  ~  “Christmas In Jail – Ain’t That A Pain?”  (Yeah, I can imagine that it would be.)




4)  Manila Luzon & Alaska  ~  “Working Holiday”  (Anyone who’s ever worked in retail can relate to this one.)




5)  Advance Base   ~  “Christmas In Nightmare City”  (Well, that certainly puts me in the Christmas spirit…)




6)  The Merry Macs  ~  “Christmas Cha Cha Cha”  (Put on your dancing shoes!)




7)  Shonen Knife  ~  “Sweet Christmas”  (This almost doesn’t qualify as weird enough, but it’s awfully close so here it is.) 




8)  Ryland Adams  ~  “A Clickbait Christmas”  (Made ya look!)




9)  Christmas In The Stars  ~  “R2-D2, We Wish You A Merry Christmas”  (Droids need Christmas love, too.)




10)  Jon Lajoie  ~  “The Best Christmas Song”  (There’s a bit of false advertising going on here...)




11)  Rhett & Link ft. Hannah Hart, Grace Helbig, Benny Fine, & DeStorm  ~  “Christmas Face”  (These just keep getting better!)




12)  Cyndi Lauper  ~  “Minnie And Santa”  (Too much information, Cyndi…)




13)  CeeLo Green & The Muppets  ~  “All I Need Is Love”  (Kermit trying to speak hip-hop to CeeLo is everything.)




14)  The Marcels  ~  “Merry Twistmas”  (Well, why not?)




15)  H.E.R.  ~  “Psychedelic Christmas”  (Trippy!)




16)  Portland Youth Philharmonic  ~  “Bassoon It Will Be Christmas”  (This is, essentially, an instrumental medley of well-known Christmas songs. What's unique is that the featured instrument here is a bassoon. While quite beautiful to listen to, it’s still pretty darn weird if you ask me!)




17)  Wengie  ~  “Ugly Christmas Sweater”  (An ode to ugly. I love it!)




18)  The Kinks  ~  “Father Christmas”  (You have to see it to believe it!)




19)  T. Rex  ~  “Christmas Bop”  (Hope you still have your dancing shoes on…)




20)  Basshunter  ~  “Jingle Bells (Bass)”  (Merry Bassmas to all, and to all a good beat.)




21)  Pearl Bailey  ~  “C’est Magnifique” / “Five Pound Box Of Money”  (The second song here – which is the Christmas-themed one – starts around the 4:15 mark. But the whole video is golden!)




22)  Johnny Bower ft. Little John & The Rinky Dinks  ~  “Honky The Christmas Goose”  (This may be the only time the word “honky” will ever appear on my blog without being followed by the word “tonk.”)




23)  Chris De Burgh  ~  “A Spaceman Came Traveling”  (Let’s take the traditional Christmas story and set it out in outer space, they said. It’ll be great, they said. And actually, it kinda is…)




24)  Showaddywaddy  ~  “Hey, Mr. Christmas”  (The greatest thing about this song might very well be the name of the artist.)




25)  Fountains Of Wayne  ~  “I Want An Alien For Christmas”  (Ooh, me too, me too!)
