Still More Weird Christmas Songs, Vol. 1

For the past several years, I've been accumulating playlists full of the most wonderfully weird Christmas-themed songs that have somehow made their way into recordings. While I've certainly found dozens of gems prior to now, I've never searched as high and low as I did this year seeking oddball holiday songs previously unknown to me. The result is a three-part series that begins right now. Enjoy!  ~  JH

BLOGGER'S NOTE:  If you happened to miss the previous "Weird Christmas Songs" posts, you can find them here, here, and here. In addition, you can check out some highly unusual songs about Santa Claus here and here.

1)  Rhett & Link ft. Hannah Hart, Grace Helbig, Benny Fine, & DeStorm  ~  “Christmas Sweatz”  (This is the first in a 3-video series of Christmas-themed songs by these folks. All of which will appear in these posts, and all of 'em weird, too.)

2)  Pond  ~  “All I Want For Xmas (Is A Tascam 388)”  (I looked it up. This is some kind of home studio recording device thingamajig.)

3)  Yogi Yorgesson  ~  “Yingle Bells”  (What's next, "Yingle Bell Rock"?)

4)  Anto Sharp  ~  “Let’s Put Christmas In Your Basket”  (Sure, why not?)

5)  Darlene Love  ~  “Christmastime For The Jews”  (No one gets left out this year.)

6)  Gene Autry & The Pinafores  ~  “He’s A Chubby Little Fellow”  (Way to fat-shame the gift-bringer, cowboy! Now you’ve ruined everything for all of us!)

7)  Christafari ft. Makamae Auwae  ~  “Angels We Have Heard On High”  (This is how to cover ALL the bases in one short video.)

8)  RuPaul  ~  “Nothing For Christmas”  (Aww, poor guy...well, sort of.)

9)  Augie Rios  ~  “Donde Está Santa Claus?"  (Yeah, where IS that jolly old elf?)

10)  Frank Sidebottom  ~  “Christmas Is Really Fantastic”  (Isn't it, though?)

11)  Half Man Half Biscuit  ~  “All I Want For Christmas Is A Dukla-Prague Away Kit”  (I didn't look this one up. But whatever it is, this guy wants one.)

12)  Billy Idol  ~  “Yellin’ At The Xmas Tree”  (I'm sure we've all done this at some point.)

13)  Bob Rivers Comedy Corp.  ~  “The Twelve Pains Of Christmas”  (Only 12???)

14)  Sia  ~  “Santa’s Coming For Us”  (That sounds vaguely menacing...)

15)  Fall Out Boy  ~  “Yule Shoot Your Eye Out”  (Don't say you weren't warned.)

16)  Destenee  ~  “Hello Kitty Christmas”  (I know people who celebrate in this manner.)

17)  The Maine  ~  “Ho Ho Hopefully”  (Clever title. Good song. Weird video.)

18)  Crystal Antlers  ~  “10,000 Watts”  (That's a lot of light bulbs!)

19)  Bob Dylan  ~  “Must Be Santa”  (Accordions were never put to such good use in a Christmas song before this.)

20)  Ivana Raymonda ~  “Christmas And Love”  (Two things I'm particularly fond of.)

21)  blink-182  ~  “I Won’t Be Home For Christmas”  (It's alright. You guys weren't invited anyway.)

22)  Allo, Darlin’  ~  “Space Christmas”  (Far out, man!)

23)  NewSong  ~  “The Christmas Shoes”  (Some of you are probably frowning at your screen right now because I included this song here. But when you think about it, it truly is weird! I mean, it’s not like Mama can take the shoes with her where she’s going. Treacle, folks…pure treacle!)

24)  B-SHOC  ~  “Happy Hip-Hop Christmas”  (Ho-ho-homeboy!)

25)  Clarence Carter  ~  “Back Door Santa”  (I can't even...)
