I have a few, but really liking the new Train song, Shake Up Christmas. Produced by Butch Walker and is an extension of his Coca Cola jingle.

Also, the whole Melissa Etheridge xmas CD is great.

Just out of curiosity, am I the only one that thinks of turning "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause" into a dirty song? :oops:

I'm serious, I hear it everyday at work and everytime,I start inserting my own naughty lyrics and laugh out loud :lol:

I don't want to derail this thread or anything cause I think Christmas songs are great but I just can't help myself sometimes :lol:

Drunk or high is the only way anyone can enjoy that song. Hell, it makes me want to get drunk and I've never been drunk in my life. :lol:

Dave, that song just kills, man. It's got everything. Even though I hold my nose as a preventive measure while watching the youtube video, it's still an incredible song.

The song is OK but it's way dated-sounding. However, Christmas is not even celebrated in many countries around the world, so it doesn't even make sense.

Which is probably why the lyrics say, "Do they know it's Christmas time at all?" :lol:

And then, "Let them know it's Christmas time." :wink:

Kind of a "spread the word" thing going on here, Dave.

Did they not look like a bunch of regular blokes heading out to Wal-Mart on a Saturday? So much better than that garbage Lionel Richie put together.

Wow, are Jody Watley and Kool and the Gang the only blacks in this video?. Was the UK importing minority singers back then?

USA For Africa was such a pretentious work. The lone exception probably being Michael Jackson.
