Non-Traditional Christmas Songs

[SuperGabers]

I'm just being a pain in the neck on purpose

I know you were. Hence me not going all junkie on you. You are one of my favorites after all.

Gabers stepping on existing threads again.

I DLed the MMJ christmas album today. Really like 4-5 of the tracks. They sound like MMJ again.

Man. I am batting 0 for 2 these days... I need to up my dosage.

This is a great one. We have this Christmas mix of songs that appeared on various episodes of the OC's Chrismukkah and this is on there.

people can say what they want about the oc, but it always had a great soundtrack

No, they can't. If anyone says somthing bad about the OC, I'll punch them in the nose. Ask DDD, I already did it once to him. "No one around here calls it 'the OC.'" Grace to DDD. :box:

I really like Motown Christmas songs (though the schtick from The Temptations has worn on me) and "Someday at Christmas" has become my favorite of that genre in recent years. Gimme Stevie, The Jackson 5 or Mary J Blige -- I'll take them all.

But my favorite non-traditional is The Vince Guaraldi Trio's "Snoopy vs. The Red Baron (Snoopy's Christmas)":

I thought about putting this in the Covers thread but didn't want to taint that thread forever. I just heard this for the first time this week and Hilary Duff actually did something to improve this horrible McCartney song -- although it's all relative because the original is so bad. (By the way, I know nothing about Hilary Duff other than having heard her name.)

Some will call this dickish, but I heard it on the radio Friday and laughed pretty good over it. Its very non-traditional, and some of you will potentially find it offensive, I thought it was funny.

I came across this picture about a week ago and thought that it was interesting enough to share. Were the Christmas songs of the 40s and 50s so good that people continue to hang on to them or are people so emotionally attached to the nostalgia of these songs that the "non-traditional" songs don't ever take hold?
