I'd like to see that playlist. I'm always looking for alternative Holiday tunes and you used a couple of mine in this post.

I'll PM it to you, if I can! It's a Spotify one, I am constantly reworking it. There are some standards on there (Tom Petty, Judy Garland), but still not the main hitters. :) Please let me know if you can think of any improvements!

If you like Waits get on NetFlix and watch him in "Ballad of Buster Scruggs" could win an award. Is he referring to Des Moines in the song above (Euclid and Omaha mentioned, there is a Euclid in Minnie though.)?

Janny watched that and told me it was amazing - I'm going to have to watch it now! I didn't know Tom was in there! Our daughter is not purposely named after one of his songs, but it didn't hurt that the song had lovely lyrics. :)

Gonna go w-a-a-a-a-a-y out on a limb, here.....this is a sacred choral piece sung by the Nordic Choir at Luther College in Decorah. Not anything close to what's posted here, but I would ask that you give it a listen just for the sheer power and technique of these kids. An absolutely awesome performance, and a song that gives me goosebumps at the end.

Paideia, jeg hatet det.
Elsket min nordiske coed, skjønt.

They have an excellent reputation far beyond Iowa.

If you like 80s "hair bands" you might like this version of Little Drummer Boy. I'm not a fan of the regular version, but I absolutely love this variation of it!
 
What do You Get a Wookie for Christmas (When He Already Owns a Comb)



And from the same album, R2-D2 We Wish You a Merry Christmas



The lead singer of that gem is some guy named Jon Bongiovi. It was his first professional recording. He later changed the spelling of his name and enjoyed some success.
 
I hate to admit this because 99% of his material I find horrible but I enjoy his rapping version of Little Drummer Boy.

 
B.B. Chung King & The Buddaheads - Xmas List. Couldn't find a video of Christmas Snow. Check that one out as well.

 
This came to mind....they always play Bruce's version which is fun and all, but Otis...man.

John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell did a reenactment/parody of this AND I found it:

I can't decide if John C Reilly is a "surprisingly good singer" or just a "good singer."

I've caught myself on Spotify a few times enjoying a tune and it ends up being him.

You know who surprised me as a good singer? Steve Buscemi. I don't know if he's put out any tunes, but I've heard him sing a couple of times...nice, smooth tenor.
