Subject: Re: TMBG: Christmas Songs Songs for your "nice" list... I'd say Careless Santa. And don't forget the Elf Shoes Mix of Careless Santa. Ooh, and the Care-free Mix. And that medley of Careless Santa... Seriously, if you could put The Island of Misfit Toys by Brian Dewan on there that'd be sweet. It's from the hello Santa Special from 95.

Thanks for all the other suggestions, though, I'll be on Napster patrol for them, realizing how stupid it is to say "Napster patrol." _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

And I've got XTC's "Thanks for Christmas," I guess you might also say "Countdown to Christmas Party Time" (also on Rag & Bone Buffet), but I think it sounds kinda Michael Jackson-y. > the > Kinks' "Father Christmas," Mono Puff's "Careless Santa," and Fountains of > Wayne's "I Want an Alien for Christmas." So...what eclectic yuletide hits > will you be caroling this season? Okay... I kinda like Everclear's "Santa Baby". It makes me happy, whereas the original version made me nervous Weird Al's "Christmas At Ground Zero" and "The Night Santa Went Crazy" You should throw in Live Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas Time?" because it's 80s-licious Most things on those Dr. Demento Christmas compilations are cool. And of course... "Merry Christmas" by Wesley Willis!

Just ignore the lyrics. Anyway, I would put Suzy Snowflake by Soul Coughing and Sometimes You Have To Work On Christmas (Sometimes) by Harvey Danger (which is just a kick-ass song, anyway).
