Bad Santa

You didn't ask, but here is a list of 10 Christmas songs you should have playing in your home this holiday season. If you're hoping to hear Newsong's "Christmas Shoes," tune in to FM100. If not, give these a try.

1. Jack Johnson's "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" - Has an extra silly verse your kids will love!

2. Voicemail's "Chipmunk Christmas" - Who needs to speed up records to sound like Chipmunks? Just wear too-small tighty whiteys.

3. Barenaked Ladies w/Sarah McLachlan "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" - Not much to say... This has been a classic for years now.

4. Dido's "Christmas Day" - One of my wife's favorites, we could listen to this one all year round.

5. ANY version of "Baby It's Cold Outside" - Because it reminds me of Will Ferrell & the very best scene in "Elf."

6. Joni Mitchell's "The River" - Although a little haunting, this song is a nice alternative to traditional christmas carols.

7. Wham's "Last Christmas" - I lied, I think FM100 does play this one. But it's Wham! Who doesn't like a good dose of Wham?

8. Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond, or any other Jewish person singing Gentile Christmas songs. Ka-Ching!

9. Along those same lines, Adam Sandler's "The Hanukkah Song." - Will never stop being funny. And if it does, he'll just release another updated version. O wait, he already did that. Twice.

10. Thurl Bailey's "Merry Christmas to You" - Just a Thurl Bailey Christmas album is funny enough, but when he starts butchering classics it gets downright hilarious. "To kids from 1 to 92, and 93 and 94!" Great stuff.
