Top Ten Christmas Songs 2020

 


By the time December 25th rolls around, you're probably sick of hearing the same old Christmas songs played over and over again on the radio... maybe even Fairytale of New York. 

So here are ten alternatives to brighten your Christmas morning. Not that I'd usually expect anybody to be wasting their Christmas Day reading this nonsense, but maybe in Christmas lockdown you'll find the odd five minutes...


10. eagleowl - Let's Save Christmas (The Ballad of Nakatomi Plaza)

Is Die Hard the greatest Christmas movie? No, that's It's A Wonderful Life. Die Hard is just the second greatest Christmas movie. This, however, is indisputably the best Christmas song about Die Hard...

Yippee-kay-yay
Lets save Christmas day


Just hilarious. I love Billy.

Daddy's down at the pub
Full of Christmas cheer
Probably won't come home till next year


Repent sinners!
This pagan holiday full of tree worship and fairy lights is an affront to Jehova!
The candy cane is Satan's walking stick!
Merry Christmas from the Handsome Family!


Sam's favourite Christmas song. Listen and you'll see why.


Does the snow that falls on Leith
Also fall on Pollockshields?

There's a question for our Scottish friends to ponder on over Christmas...


Another of Sam's favourites. (And mine.)


Christmas wishes to all the kitties in the world - Colin brings you love, and lots of tuna juice.


Well, obviously.

 Great song. Least festive video ever recorded.


From one of the best Christmas albums of the 21st Century. Every track's a classic. 

1. The Black Arts - Christmas Number One

What do you get when you combine Black Box Recorder with Art Brut? A perfect recreation of the golden age of Christmas pop songs. A 70s glam stomper... with a sly postmodern cynicism.

We threw in some sleigh bells and some other festive stuff
A video with artificial snow, like the devil's own dandruff
 


Happy Christmas, everyone. Let's make the most of it. Remember what Bruce keeps telling me, to get me through the year...

Someday we'll look back on this
And it will all seem funny...
