Christmas music. From off the deep end to just pain weird.

[putrid]

I've come across some really off the wall Christmas music. Thought I'd share all the ones with song samples. So sit back, listen, and wonder. LOL

Some of these links are repeats from the '2009 additions to the collective' thread. I'll start off with something new.

The Governor's Holiday
http://www.amazon.com/Governors-Holiday-Album-Vol-1/dp/B0000AUHS7/ref=sr_1_1208?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1249140446&sr=1-1208


From the collective thread. Really not poking fun at these guys. This is a real Jazz band. Just thought the music was cool and odd enough to include it here.

Belle Flec and the Flectones "Jingle all the way"
http://www.amazon.com/Jingle-All-Bela-Fleck-Flecktones/dp/B001EOQTOC/

I'll be adding more links shortly. Be cool to hear the odd or off the wall Christmas music you have or find.

They even changed the lyrics. I guess the real lyrics were to threatening. JK LOL

[theedwin]

I have a cd somewhere of cats "meowing" Christmas songs. I think they just recorded one meow and put it on a synthesizer....

[putrid]

LOL Yep that's what they did. There's more than one out there with cats. And a few with dogs as well.

Here's a winner for all you dance club fans.

http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=6938486

If you like the CD you can get it cheaper at Amazon. They didn't have sound samples.

[EnlightenedGrinch]

I have a cd somewhere of cats "meowing" Christmas songs.

That's probably the "Jingle Cats". I've got both of those albums on tape-"Jingle Cats" and "Meow-y Christmas".
I love 'em!

I like that "Blame it on Christmas" album, Putrid. I might have to order that one! Thanks!

[theedwin]

I had previously forgotten the name EG, but now that you mention it, that's what it is. I have no idea where I got it from, but I've had it for years!

Has anyone heard of John Valby? I think that's his name. He had some "Dirty" Christmas songs on CD, but I don't have that CD anymore.... :(

[putrid]

Theedwin, there's been a few I've found that I wont post because of the content of the music. Not something you'd play for kids. Not something Larry or Sickie would let me get a way with. LOL I did find the CD your looking for. Unfortunately I can't even post the tittle. LOL I'll PM ya the where's and hows.

[putrid]

Seems the deeper I look the more off the wall stuff I find. LOL

If you get tired of listening to dogs bark out Christmas songs how about people barking like dogs.

I knew that George was selling out lately, but didn't know he was doing it back in:

Original Release Date: September 17, 1996 LOL ROFL!!!!

I have seen George Lucas in person about 5 times. He is definitely cashing in on any "Star Wars" thing he can! I swear he will rake all them droids through the coals to make a buck!!!

[theedwin]

Putrid,

The crazy frog is great! Here is his Youtube video!!! :D

Edwin

[putrid]

LMAO Theedwin. Cool vids! They also bring to mind that America is one of the few modern countries that still consider all nudity as obscene. Even our toys are gender neutral. LOL In high school ( way back when I was a kid ) all the books on art were kept in a special section in the library. You had to have permission and a reason to look at them. LOL

[putrid]

OK here's some more for ya'll to enjoy.

This first one is cool. 'Operatica: Christmas Classics'

I really dig song no. 10. it should be noted that songs 12 and 13's samples are in the wrong order.
Music for everyone!

[putrid]

and there's more. I think it's totally cool that there can be Christmas music for any taste. The first one is what muzac would be like if it was done right.

I new it had to be there. Now after listening to a few samples my world may never be the same. It might take weeks of therapy to get rid of this...listen at your own risk.....JK LOL

Seems the more I look for Christmas music the more cool and weird stuff I find. This next CD will either make you laugh or drive ya nuts.

[Sickie Ickie]

Laffy would make me go wacky!

[putrid]

I admit I couldn't listen to all the samples on that one either Sickie Ickie. LOL

Now here's another one of the cool ones. This is the better of the two Dread Zeppelin Christmas CDs.

http://www.amazon.com/Presents/dp/B000XSVRTC/ref=dm_cd_album_lnk?ie=UTF8&qid=1251587083&sr=1-14

[IluvChristmas]

Hmm I think I'm going to go and listen to some John Valby lol.

[IluvChristmas]

Hmm I think I'm going to go and listen to some John Valby lol.

Yep he's pretty much pased the edge of Christmas music.

[Smilodonna]

I remember this guy from 'The Stray Cats'. Not really off the deep end but to cool not to post a link here.
http://www.amazon.com/Boogie-Woogie-Christmas-Setzer-Orchestra/dp/B0002XED80/ref=sr_1_3704?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1251170191&sr=1-3704


The Brian Setzer Orchestra has another couple Christmas albums, also not strange but certainly worth noting. Boogie Woogie Christmas and Dig That Crazy Christmas have been my personal favorite Christmas albums for the past few years, so I wanted to bring these up for the uninitiated:
http://www.m.amazon.com/Crazy-Christmas-Brian-Setzer-Orchestra/dp/B000B2YQW0/ref=ntt_mus_ep_wlb_dpt

This one is pretty much a compilation of the Orchestra's previous holiday albums, so it doesn't look like anything is new:
http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Christmas-Collection-Setzer-Orchestra/dp/B001DZDTEK

:snowflake::tree::snowflake::tree::snowflake:

Putrid, I hope you don't mind if I add a couple offerings in the weird/off the wall category. These all too clearly reveal my Halloween obsession, and they certainly aren't for everyone.

Have Yourself A Scary Little Christmas is a twisted album featuring the Cryptkeeper (John Kassir) from Tales From the Crypt. Weird? Absolutely.
http://www.amazon.com/Tales-Crypt-Yourself-Little-Christmas/dp/B000002TUF/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1259523492&sr=1-1


A Merry Monster Christmas is significantly more innocent than the Crypt offering, and is actually a very kind hearted album. Amazon has a listing but no music samples, and CD Baby seems to be the only one with samples (few as they may be). I would recommend turning down your computer's audio since the first track sample starts with a scream.
http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/lenmaxwell

Monster Christmas Mash is a difficult one to find as it is long out of print and it looks as if the latest release was on vinyl. No one seems to have music samples, but if you are interested you should be able to track something down. It has made its rounds in the blog-o-sphere. It remind me of a more sarcastic sibling to A Merry Monster Christmas. I'll at least provide a link with information if you want to look into it: http://www.netsoundsmusic.com/nsudsii/2/449508305/548/2.html

[markgbarba1987]

this is some music here. hehehe.. dont know if I like it or not. not sure really. hehe :confused::confused:

[Smilodonna]

Ah, somehow I forgot about a couple offerings from the HP Lovecraft Historical Society! They have produced two albums, called "A Very Scary Solstice" and "An Even Scarier Solstice," both of which deal with Lovecraft's stories. The quality of the performances can be variable (there are some good and some not-so-good impersonations of well known Christmas singers), but those who are familiar and fond of Lovecraft's mythos should get a kick out of a good portion of each CD. You can (if you dare:twisted:) listen to some samples on this page:http://www.cthulhulives.org/store/store.lasso?1=product&2=122.

[theway]

check this one out. it is not that famous.. yet at least;] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rig7d0j6k0Y

[Smilodonna]

Theway: Hmm, although I see you are trying your darndest to publicize that song/group, I fail to understand why it's off the deep end/weirdthink:. Though I know folks have different standards to what is "odd"...

[MyNameHere]

You know, I want to say something like, "There's a fine line between a sincere desire to 'Contribute' (after all, this IS a forum about Christmas music) and blatant 'Promotion', " but the more I think about it, I don't think there IS a line between the two.

As an artist (to some degree), I personally believe "a sincere desire to Contribute" is the Motive, and "Promotion" is the unavoidable Method. But hey, that's just me.

That'll be 2 cents, please.

And by the way, the song/video was nicely done.

Oh, and feel free to check out the links in my signature for unique interpretations of the classics... idea:

[putrid]

LOL Probably not the best place to post a link to ya'll work Theway. Not sure if you really intended you work to be associated with people barking like dogs to Christmas music.

Don't mind at all Smilodonna! The Brian Setzer Orchestra is cool! You got links to some really off the wall Christmas music. LOL

Dig the link to CDbaby. I can select all the songs at once if I wanted too. and I did. LOL

[cocoandcookie]

Here's our holiday tribute from ... our dogs!

Great video! Great editing. Great story. Great cause.

Thank you and a very merry Christmas to you!

Thank you MyNameHere for the compliments. Coco and Cookie wish a Merry Christmas to you and your family this year! Woof Woof!!!

[tillnoone]

i definitely agree

[putrid]

Going on with the yearly hunt for new music I've come across one that fits this bill. LOL An entire CD dedicated to one song and a lot of animal sounds.

[putrid]

A couple more to add. The first really isn't that weird. Kinda cool. I added it because it has one of the coolest 'Little drummer boy' renditions I've heard.

http://www.amazon.com/XFM-Its-Cool-Christmas/dp/B000051TTC/ref=cm_lmf_img_21_rsrsrs0"

Nothing weird, but I did find and download Linda Ronstadt's Christmas album. What a beautiful voice.

[UltimateChristmas.com]

My boyfriend gave me the William Hung Christmas CD several years ago. ('Memba him? From American Idol?) It's called Hung for the Holidays. Definitely weird!

[putrid]

Totally cool UltimateChristmas.com. William Hung is an American Classic if there ever was one to come off a TV competition!

When searching for Classical Christmas music and came across this. I think the folks at Amazon have a really good sense of humor. LOL

[RCIAG]

My contribution to this thread is all of John Waters Christmas album (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00065GHWE/ref=s9_simh_gw_p15_d0_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=01VE0BCFV4A2REY0G5SZ&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846)

I finally got around to purchasing this CD & I don't regret it one bit! I LOVE all things John Waters so I'm a tad biased.

If you listen to the audio clips a warning, Here Comes Fatty Claus has some NSFW language right at the very beginning.

And just yesterday I heard of the existence of John Denver's Please Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzvQr8fidLo), not having been a big country music fan (apparently Alan Jackson did a remake of it) nor a huge John Denver fan, I'd never heard of it.

[Billybones]

Santa Claws Is Coming To Town - Alice Cooper

[Rybcon]

Alice Cooper is a great guy

[putrid]

Alice Cooper is cool!

Found a few more to add..

This one is bathroom humor at it's best. I think this CD and a Santa Claus toilet seat cover would make a great Christmas gift. LOL

http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Air/dp/B000BUBEXQ/ref=sr_1_50?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1326421828&sr=1-50
