Bad Santa Bringing You Naughty (Not Nice!) Christmas Songs

Music Wed - Since Christmas will fall on a Wed this year, I have the luxury of not making my holiday music picks today and can, instead, play the role of the Grinch, and make some rocking alternatives to Christmas cheer. And, of course, I will just start this whole item with a link to the original cartoon Grinch song (http://youtu.be/--aSgNEbmnI) - this song, sung not by the narrator, Boris Karloff, but by Thurl Arthur Ravenscroft (who also sang the bass parts for the headstones in The Haunted Mansion ride at D-Land), is iconic and inimitable. Sticking with this theme, but moving to the live-action movie starring Jim Carrey, I want to add Taylor Momsen's tear-jerking "Where Are You Christmas" (http://youtu.be/eDAfUiVYZDw). To keep this Grinchy, I have to smash cut to Taylor Momsen's current single "Going to Hell" to show what happens to a little Who-girl when Christmas is taken away from her - scary stuff (http://youtu.be/bmtbg5b7_Aw).  To wrap up this tribute to bad Christmas songs, I am going back to animation for The Family Guy's totally inappropriate sing-along version of "All I Really Want for Christmas This Year" (http://youtu.be/G46VIGn0aiw), followed by South Park' rendition of Hitler singing "Christmas Time in Hell" (http://youtu.be/vLhkStL0xyM - check out Satan's crazy skull codpiece!). So try not to lose your sense of humor while you are battling shoppers for the last pair of boots at Steve Maddon, cutting off a driver for a coveted parking space, and collapsing at home after failing to find that perfect gift for the ones you love. Remember, this is the happiest time of the year - Enjoy!

  1. I still think Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poop should be on this list. That is all.
