Anti-Christmas music/Alternative Christmas music thread

[Mirage of Excellence]

I can be a bit of a grinch around Christmas, with the stress of buying presents and the crazy amount of people everywhere. But what really makes me want to hijack the bus I take to work every morning and steer it into a lake is the incessant Christmas music, the only genre of music where sleigh bells is a seemingly acceptable part of musical composition. The most frustrating aspect of it is the fact that it's the same songs every single year, because people are so extremely afraid of new things.

I'm sure I'm not the only one here who feels this way. So I wonder if any of you know of some good and more alternative Christmas music, or perhaps even songs with an anti-Christmas message.

Here's a couple examples:

and a little taste:

[ZombiePlatypus]

Yeah, that Vandals album was the first thing to come to mind. I had 'Thanx for Nothing' running through my head the other day, actually.

[Mighty Hatman]

I hate Christmas Music.

My all-time favorite, has been for years -



Lyrics -

Spoiler!

When I was small I believed in Santa Claus
Though I knew it was my dad
And I would hang up my stocking at Christmas
Open my presents and I'd be glad

But the last time I played Father Christmas
I stood outside a department store
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
And knocked my reindeer to the floor

They said:
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys.
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Don't give my brother a Steve Austin outfit
Don't give my sister a cuddly toy
We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money
We only want the real McCoy

Father Christmas, give us some money
We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys

But give my daddy a job 'cause he needs one
He's got lots of mouths to feed
But if you've got one, I'll have a machine gun
So I can scare all the kids down the street

Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Have yourself a merry merry Christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin'
While you're drinkin' down your wine

Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
Father Christmas, please hand it over
We'll beat you up, so don't make us annoyed

Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

How are lyrics a spoiler?

[Tarvu]

I think it was more to avoid a wall of text. :-P

[Sir Legendhead]

What Tarvu said. Started to post a line or two then I was like nah, the whole thing is great.

[Occams Electric Toothbrush]

and a little taste:

A classic in the Occams household.

Slade did a lovely Christmas song. Which I'm sure was ironic on some level.

It's painful atleast.

[Ace Flibble]

Though Gothic Christmas has been a favourite of mine for some time, I think, given recent events, there can only be one winner:

Another Midlands chap, Roy Wood too. I love that guy, but that fucking Christmas song drives me nuts.
