Friday OT #2 - Offbeat Sentiments

What is your favorite off-the-beaten-path holiday song? Obviously "Christmas in Hollis" by Run-DMC is solid, but here's another favorite:



Love this one. A local band (I want to say Christopher the Conquered but I'm not sure) did an absolutely excellent cover of this a few years ago on IPR.

It's such a great song, and I just love Tom Waits!
 
My offbeat go-to songs for the holiday.
War is over. If you want it.

Nothing says Christmas Spirit like "You're bum, you're a punk / you're an old slut on junk." :);)

Are you me? So This is Christmas is my favorite Christmas song! I love the Pogues song but don't usually associate it with Christmas. I need to start listening to it more this time of year. Slightly related, I'm walking down the aisle to I'll Love You til the End by them in exactly one week!

My favorite non-traditional Christmas song comes from my early high school days.
