It's that time of the year again, where it gets colder, snow starts falling, and your favorite radio stations start playing the same 30 Christmas songs in endless rotation. Now, I love holiday music. I love what it represents as much as I love the music. But, hearing the same songs everyday from Thanksgiving to Christmas Day will drive any normal person insane. So, I've compiled a list of some covers and songs that you may not have heard in the past, and will hopefully put off your impending mental breakdown.
1. Kiss Kiss - The First Ever Global Warming Awareness Christmas EP
Exactly what the title says, this was an EP that was released quite a few Christmases ago. It pretty much disappeared since then, with no mentions of it anywhere. It's ridiculous, but with songs like "Corporate Wonderland" and "Frosty The Puddleman," what's not to love?
2. [title of show] - Holiday Story
Not technically a song, this was a track on Carols for a Cure 2006, and it's just such a silly, sweet story.
3. OK Go - Cover of Father Christmas
Originally by the Kinks, this is just a really great song covered by a really great band. They're similar, for sure, but I adore this version so much.
4. fun. - Believe in Me
If you've ever wanted to hear a song that sounds like the Beach Boys and Panic! at the Disco having a holiday party, this is that song. A little tongue-in-cheek and very sweet, it's actually an original song by the bamd.
5. Death Cab For Cutie - Cover of Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
This song is covered by almost everyone. Anberlin, Death Cab, Mariah Carey, Leighton Meester, U2, and tons more. This cover just suits the mood of the song so perfectly.
So, there you have it, a few Christmas songs that don't cause me to wish for harm to fall on people near me. Happy holidays!
