The Little Drummer Boy blows.

Also, O Come, O Come Emmanuel works for me pretty much whatever version - even a crappy country version.

N/A, they all suck.

This is incorrect.

I like ~90% of all old-timey Christmas songs. Every new one since about 1965 sucks. Just stop trying to add new ones to the canon.

And no, Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" isn't a "classic." Fuck all that pretentious warbling.

National Christmas Tree lighting from 1996. Patti LaBelle.

I head the trippiest version of We Wish You a Merry Christmas on the radio this morning. In the middle of the song, it starts going...

Now bring us some figgy pudding
Now bring us some figgy pudding
Now bring us some figgy pudding
And bring it right here.

We won't go until we get some
We won't go until we get some
We won't go until we get some
So bring it right here.

How have you not heard that? That's one of my favorites. I break it out all the time.

I like Gonzo's and Animal's take(s) on that part.

Yeah, I'm almost certain I've never heard that in my life.

It's in the Bing Crosby version!

They play the longer version in church. That's why he never heard those extra verses.

Played the shit out of that vinyl during Christmas back when I was a kid. Only record I recall listening.

Yes! I thought it was Bing! Is that from a movie or something? I can't grasp any context where anyone should be saying those words.

I think it's a euphemism.

For vagina?

You CANNOT slip one by Jerloma, fellas.

(It probably isn't but it would be great to think Bing's been snowing people over all these years - or in your case, today.)

Someone was excited for that one.

A couple of years ago, Nick Lowe released a really good Christmas album. It's called "Quality Street."

This one should be a holiday standard...

That was good, Pruitt.

Of course...

You scumbag,

You cheap lousy faggot,
Happy Christmas your arse,
I pray God it's our last.

When they (Jenny Lewis and David Johanson) did that song on the "Very Murray Christmas" netflix special, they skipped that verse.
