They Might Be Giants--Santa's Beard

David Bowie/Bing Crosby-Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy

The Smithereens- Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer

Kate Bush-December Will Be Magic Again

Wall Of Voodoo-Shouldn't Have Given Him A Gun For Christmas

Although it's the wrong month, A-ha's song "October" has a very Christmas-like feel to it.


BTW I have Both the Just Can't Get Enough and Coolest Christmas comps on CD if anyone want's a tune or two from them....

I take it it is a rather sarcastic take on Rudolph? I can't imagine the Smithereens singing anything "uplifting" or "cheerful", Christmas being the LAST holiday they would sing about.
