And now, on this Day After Christmas Eves’ Eve, I present to you my Cynical Christmas Mix:
- Father Christmas – The Kinks
- Sometimes You Have To Work On Christmas (Sometimes) – Harvey Danger
- I’ve Got Some Presents For Santa – Sarah Taylor & Bill Mumy
- Fairytale of New York – The Pogues
- Santa Baby – Eartha Kitt
- Christmas Song – Adam Sandler
- Holiday In Cambodia – Dead Kennedys
- Another Auld Lang Syne – Dan Fogleberg
- Christmas At Ground Zero – Weird Al Yankovic
- Punk Rock Christmas – Sex Pistols
- Christmas At Ground Zero – Weird Al Yankovic
- I Won’t Be Home For Christmas – Blink 182
- A Spaceman Came Travelling – Chris De Burgh
- Christmas Wrapping – The Waitresses
- So This Is Christmas – John Lennon
- River – Joni Mitchell
- Snowmiser Song – Mr. Snowmiser
- Heatmiser Song – Mr. Heatmiser
I’m pretty sure that all of the Seven Deadly Sins are well represented there, along with the Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse. It includes a few of the saddest songs I know… Perfect for sitting at home on Christmas Eve, drinking heavily, and wrapping presents for the special ones in your life. Especially the drinking part.
I’d love to comment specifically on some of the songs, but I’ve got to run down to the corner store and pick up more mixers. Luckily I laid in a good stock of Johnny Walker Red (it’s booze in a Christmas color!) for tonight’s wrapping extravaganza…
