The BEEEEEEEST Christmas Song?

[Pekka]

Well, last year I managed to pull this thread because I did it EARLY enough . Looks like I get this one again! And it IS December too..

So last year I also did a poll, which failed miserably because some of you complained about me not making a poll of 400000 songs they knew.

So, this is open thread without polls.. what's the best EVER christmas song?

ps. give full names.. (for downl... for information purposes)

[JohnT]

"Do they know it's Christmas" is a bit treacly, but I like the tune.

The John Lennon Christmas song is a favorite of mine as well.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

"I believe in Father Christmas"- Greg Lake

[Combat Ingrid]

"X-mas project: Banging around the christmas tree" has some of the best christmas songs ever.

[Soul Survivor]

Christmas At The Zoo ~ Flaming Lips

[Dis]

I like that little drummer boy song- though I'm not sure if it really is a christmas song.

[Pekka]

Dissident, I remember that being one of the issues debated last year also.. . I can't remember how it turned out.

As for me, I'm still undecided. right now though, Cheryl Lynn - You Saved My Day is rocking my sound system.

[St Leo]

Xmas-Stealing

Bender: On the fourth day of Xmas I stole from that lady
Robot /#1: Four familiy photos
Robot /#2: Three jars of pennies
Robot /#3: Two former husbands
Bender: And a slipper on a shoe-tree.

Santa Claus is Gunning You Down

Amy: He knows when you are sleeping.
Farnsworth: He knows when you're on the can.
Leela: He'll hunt you down and blast your ass from here to Pakistan.
Zoidberg: Ohh.
Hermes: You better not breathe, you better not move.
Bender: You better off dead, I'm telling you dude,
Fry: Santa Claus is gunning you down.

Elves Song


Elves: We are free and fairly sober with so many toys to build. The machines are kind of tricky, probably someone will be killed. But we gladly work for nothing
Fry: Which is good because we don't intend to pay
All: The elves are back to work today
Elves: Hooray! We have just a couple hours to make several billion gifts. And the labor isn't easy
Leela: When you all work triple shifts! You can make the job go quicker if you turn up the controls to super speed
All: It's back to work on X-mas eve...hooray

Leela: And though you're cold and sore and ugly your pride will mask the pain
Fry: Let my happy smile warm your hearts
Elf: There's a toy lodged in my brain!


Elves: We are getting awfully tired and we can't work any faster and we're very very sorry
Bender: Why you selfish little bastards! Do you want the kids to think that Santa's just a crummy empty handed jerk? Then shut your yaps and back to work!

Elves: Now it's very nearly X-mas and we've done the best we could
Fry: These toy soldiers are poorly painted
Leela: And they're made from inferior wood
Bender: I should give you all a beating but I really have to fly
Santabot: If I weren't stuck here frozen I'd harpoon you in the eye!
Elves: Now it's back into our tenements to drown ourselves in rye
Leela: You did the best you could, I guess, and some of these gorillas are ok
Elves: Hooray! We're adequate!
All: The elves are resting X-mas day, hooray!

[self biased]

"i've got some presents for santa," by barnes and nibble.

[Berzerker]

Little Drummer Boy, but I see some Rock and Rollers have been nominated. Okay, I agree with John T's nomination - John Lennon's song (So this is Christmas).

[SlowwHand]

I'll echo JohnT, Laz, Dissidentand Berz.
Lennon, ELP, and "Little Drummer Boy" for traditional.

"Last Christmas I gave you my heart,
this year i'll give it to someone special..."

[Q Classic]

elmo and patsy - grandma got run over by a reindeer
wham! - last christmas



the roaches - we three kings
mormon tabernacle choir or rockapella - carol of the bells
enya - silent night
loreena mckennit - god rest ye merry gentlemen
trans-siberian orchestra - christmas eve sarajevo



now, having demonstrated my complete lack of musical taste, i'll actually look for some of the songs i have that i really think are truly great.

[Q Classic]

axi:
last christmas, i gave you my heart,
but the very next day, you gave it away
this year, to save me from tears,
i'll give it to someone special..

[Pekka]

I think my Communists christmas song is the best.
