I forgot one (or two, actually)! One of my all-time favorites, that I usually don't think of as being a Christmas song but is (kind of).
There's only so much wine,
That you can drink in one life.
And it will never be enough
To save yo from the bottom of your glass.
The Handsome Family, "So Much Wine" (2000)

"Santa Claus is Coming to Town", but make it funky with a powerful (and fun) vocal by Anjelika "Jelly" Joseph.

More great Christmas music I never hear playing anywhere: Los Straightjackets "Complete Christmas Songbook" is available on Bandcamp and every track's a surfpunk banger.
Los Straightjackets- "Little Drummer Boy"

There's a ton of good Christmas music you never hear in retail establishments, who usually favor the safe, the bland, and the tediously over-familiar.
This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #PlayItAgainSanta and the idea is to share some of the music that would be playing if you were making the choices.
First thing that jumped to mind- The Donnas' take on "Up on the Housetop"
Oi to the World!
Originally by the Vandals but I like the No Doubt cover a whole lot.
Oi to the punks!
Oi to the skins!
But Oi to the world and everybody wins!
#TuneTuesday is #playitagainsanta so here’s my favorite Christmas Tune -

For #TuneTuesday’s theme of #PlayItAgainSanta how about making Xmas a little bit metal.
I know there was a cover of Someone's gonna get their head kicked in tonight called Santa's gonna.... But it's not in YT.
So, here's Los Angeles heroes, The Dickies blasting out Silent Night.

A singular version of a classic Christmas carol:
Low, "Little Drummer Boy" (1999)
A classic: The Ramones, "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)" (1989)
TFW Santa tells you that on Christmas you'll get "nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing..."
The Sonics, "Santa Claus" (1965)
#TuneTuesday with the topic #PlayItAgainSanta
Twisted Sister - Oh come all ye faithful
How about some more melancholy? Nick Cave wants to "wish you happy Christmas" in his own inimitable way.
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, "I do, dear, I do" (2005)
'Tis the season again for Christmas music. Let's start by considering Santa's life over the rest of the year. It's not great.
Murder City Devils, "364 Days" (2001)
Another year passes and we're getting close to Christmas. So, we have a Tune Tuesday theme of "Play It Again, Santa" where WE get to pick the Christmas music played around us.

J.D. McPherson's album "Socks"

"If you could choose the Christmas music playing in the shops, what would you pick? "
I had to interpret this as "if you could pick *one* of the songs or albums..." or else I started to hyperventilate, thinking of anything on repeat 24/7 for six weeks. #retail #flashback
For #TuneTuesday the theme today is a look forward to the cheer / horror that Christmas brings us all. #PlayItAgainSanta.
Here’s a sock puppet cover from Immortal’s - All Shall Fall.
