varsity08 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 It's that time of year again, and I love finding new christmas songs, especially original ones. Here's what I've got so far: Christmas - Death Cab for Cutie Bizarre Christmas Incident - Ben Folds Carol of the Bells - Mae Christmas Celebration - Weezer The Christmas Song - The Raveonettes Christmas Song - Dave Matthews Band Christmas With You is the Best - The Long Winters Come On! Let's Boogie! - Sufjan Stevens Ex-Miss - New Found Glory Father Christmas - OK Go Forget December - Something Corporate God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman - Barenaked Ladies Happy Christmas - Polyphonic Spree I Won't Be Home for Christmas - Blink 182 Just Like Christmas - Low Last Christmas - Jimmy Eat World O Come, O Come Emmanuel - Belle O Holy Night - Brand New Rock of Ages - Ben Kweller Winter Wonderland - Phantom Planet Christmas Song - Weezer Yule Shoot Your Eye Out - Fall Out Boy Drummer Boy - Mercy Me I bet some of you will realize that most of these are from the OC Mix 3: Have a Very Merry Chrismukkah. Anyways, I try to stay away from covers of old songs, but some of these on here were too good to pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBB Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) Welll, some obvious ones... A Charlie Brown Christmas - Vince Guaraldi Quartet The whole set of Sufjan Stevens Christmas CDs A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector ... and a little gem from Australia: How To Make Gravy - Paul Kelly (I had a link to YouTube, but it's a pretty dreadful live recording) (don't play this one at a happy Christmas party, because it's one of the saddest songs you'll ever hear) Varsity, if you're looking for something original for Christmas, this Paul Kelly song should suit. This is probably Australia's greatest songwriter, writes real stories... the song is a guy in prison sending a message to his brother a few days before Christmas, imagining how the big day is going to be without him there. It's wrenching stuff. Unfortunately, you need to find the studio version. If you're interested, get in touch, and maybe I can help you find it ;-) LeeBBB Edited November 25, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Kari, do you remember the Christmas song by Run D.M.C. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 You know I do, Kenne! I've got a stuffed penguin that plays the song. Mr. Peaches loves the song but hates the penguin. I have to fish it out of the trash at least 3 times a year during the holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varsity08 Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) hey guys, thanks for your input! I really wanna thank LeeBB for "How to Make Gravy," my older brother is on the inside for something he didn't do. I sent him the lyrics and it was something good for us to share when I went and saw him last weekend. I hate to be picky, but I was actually looking for stuff from the mid 90s on...but some of these were goodies! And I also realized I have new covers of some of these songs (like happy christmas by John Lennon and do they know its christmas by band aid). Hopefully we can get some more stuff in here before the season has passed this year. If not, we start it up again next year! Merry Christmas everyone!
