It's that time of the year when the air is filled with the sounds of the festive classics. So my question to my fellow gaffers is as the title suggests:
What christmas song comes in second behind this Masterpiece.

 

[T8SC]

But the best Christmas song is Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You.

 

[Prison Mike]

 

[Stiflers Mom]

This always gets me into the mood...

 

[Thing on a Spring]

It's clearly this.

 

[QSD]

Oh lord just when I've managed built up the 90ies of my youth as this grand golden age in my head, you had to go and remind me of reality.

anyway, I friggin hate xmas music so here's my entry:

I had this album in high school...

I really like that song, but certainly not one I can listen to on repeat leading up to the day. It's just too depressing for me, fantastic song though.

I think my favourite has always got to be Frank Sinatra. It's not Christmas for me unless I listen to Sinatra, something about the smoothness of his voice just really gets me in the spirit.

 

[teezzy]

I like it when the dogs sing Jingle Bells



Dont you bender ?

 

[Peggies]

"Fairytale of New York" by the Pogues. Might even be the best though.

 

[Super Mario]

 

[bitbydeath]

Maybe Sallys Song?

 

[Peggies]

"Fairytale of New York" by the Pogues. Might even be the best though.

Should've read the OP I guess . Proceed!

 

[Boss Mog]

Christmas has been shitty these past few years for me but these girls always cheer me up.

 

[BlackOlivesMatter]

There are only 3 good Xmas songs in order

 

[Deleted member 801069]

"Fairytale of New York" by the Pogues. Might even be the best though.

People legit just respond to threads after reading the thread title, huh?

 

[GeorgPrime]

I like this one:

 

[e0n]

 

[Foamy]

 

[Old Retro]

There's only one true champion that is Santa approved...

 

[ThatStupidLion]

sufjan stevens owns the modern christmas classics category

 

[Chaplain]

 

[Windle Poons]

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

 

[Mistershine.]

I do like a bit of Kevin Wilson.

But that is the second best Christmas song.

 

[Ovarian_Barbarian]

 

[teezzy]

Fuck the song in the OP

 

[Relativ9]

I think you accidentally posted the wrong link, this is clearly the best Christmas song. For second best you could just hit yourself in the head and listen to it again while suffering from a concussion.

It's things like this that make me wonder if covid was sent by god to wipe us out...

More info than you're looking for but...

It's actually a song with an empathetic message about socioeconomic diversion come Christmas time. They're calling Santa a "fat bitch" because he doesn't deliver toys to poor kids in the ghetto. It's a metaphor.

Most people aren't aware, but Insane Clown Posse are very charity-driven. They regularly do charity shows locally here in Michigan, and hold canned food and toy drives around the holidays.

They've been doing it since the 90s (timestamped below)



Even on Covid this year they donated plenty of material to create masks locally for those in need:

I stick up for ICP. They're good people.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

 

[DogofWar]

Swedish legendary band Onkel Kånkel is everything I need on Christmas.

 

[Mistershine.]

lol

Jimmy Savile was also known for his charity work.

Edit: in not lumping icp in with Savile, was more of a charity doesn't forgive the sins committed against ear drums.

teezzy you reacted while I was editing my post for clarity.

[Kagey K]

I wanted to make a thread about lesser known XMas songs, or songs that represented the holidays.

I have a couple that aren't traditional but we play every year.

Daaam, coal again for me

At least it'll keep you warm.

 

[The New Guy]

I think Black Mirror ruined this song for me. There is a Christmas episode with Jon Hamm where the main character is stuck in repeat with this song just playing over and over again, and whilst I love the song I realised how that would drive me insane.
