I hate to mention the C word already, so.. Xmas songs

[Marky L]

Yeah.
That dreaded time of year is coming and we have a couple of gigs lined up and need to included some xmas songs to liven up the party. We currently do Slade's Merry Xmas, but need a couple more maybe. Good singalong, easy to play, everyone knows them classics.

What are your choices???

"No Christmas for John Quays" by The Fall. Always puts me in the festive spirit

That's the other good one! That and Greg Lake's [i]I Believe In Father Christmas[/i]. Be a struggle to do a straight cover of that, though.

Ah! Thanks for the linkage. I'm glad I wasn't the first one to bring this up

[dave_bass5]

I always look forward to doing Bruce's version of Santa claus is coming to town.
Seriously.

We did the Greedies A merry Jingle as well a few years ago. Good fun but its not really that well known so we havent done it since.

Kevin Bloody Wilson-'Santa Claus you c**t, where's me f*****g bike?'

[Delberthot]

Shakie's - Merry Christmas everyone
Elton John's - Step into Christmas

Until he started fiddling with kids - Rock & Roll Christmas by Gary Glitter was a good one

Bob Rivers- Walking Round in Women's Underwear

[TheDarkReaver]

We wrote our own christmas song last year, might dig it up again for this year too.

+ the 1..... KBW....

Australian humour (no actually any flicking humour) at its best.....

[markytbass]

What about Frank Zappa Don't Eat the Yellow Snow, not really a christmas song but does have snow in it. Or maybe Hanky the Christmas Poo.
