I’m posting this a little early so hope I’m not messing anyone up. I don’t want to step on any toes with my Christmas song list or repeat my previously posted Metal Xmas songs, so my gift to you tonight is my top 12 favorite obscure X-mas songs. Many of these songs come from my favorite Christmas album series, Cashing in on Christmas. Many of these may not be your cup of tea, that’s okay, but click on to the next one. I like to think that you will find a gift for almost everyone on your list in this collection & in no specific order.
Finally, I’m throwing in bonus song. Two years ago we lost a legend in the world of slack key guitar and a personal friend of my family. . If there is a heaven, Cyril is teaching the angels how to play guitar and having Kanikapila on a cloud somewhere. We miss you Uncle!
Mele Kalikimaka DUAN & Deadsplinter Ohana! I hope all your Covid Christmas plans work out & Santa is good to you & yours. Aloha!
Kip Addotta – I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus
I haven’t thought about this song in ages.
I have this on a Dr. Demento Xmas album. I love this version!
We sang this for a Xmas pageant in elementary school. I used to sing it to my self a lot – having never heard it again anywhere else. Through the miracle of youtube – I found it – the actual song isn’t quite as pretty as child me remembers.
So My Sheep May Safely Graze.
That’s pretty obscure…never heard this.
this count?
You bet! Perfect.
The Everly Brothers – Christmas Eve Can Kill You
another one that is new to me.
Merry Christmas Shaw and family! hope you don’t have to put on a present face.
Garfunkle and Oates – Present Face
Thank you…. so much for posting that. I didn’t know that I needed to hear that, but now that I did, I am so grateful that you thought of it. No, really, it’s great. Fitting, yes, that’s it, fitting. Great, now who’s next?
meeeeeee!
wait was i sposed to be sticking to the theme or just be the following act?
eh
who cares fuckit
OK, I’m repeating myself, but this is still obscure
Makes me want to get down on the floor and do the dinosaur!
* SHAQ” and family. Autocorrect hates me, and apparently you too.
In general this whole album is good. Mix of classics and a few newbies. Some are definitely “oh that was a choice you made….” but definitely a good album. This is one of my favorites because it approaches Christmas from someone a-okay that they’re on the naughty list.
Lacuna Coil Naughty Christmas (this might have been better for Wednesday Steel). And is it obscure? It was to me?
James Chance – Christmas with Satan
Love James Chance/James White!
Yuletown Throw Down
Plus some Air Supply
Keitel playing Air Supply? Talk about Christmas miracles! I had you down for this…
@Loveshaq
The Air Supply was for Myo. I love Morphine. One of the few bands that can make me happy or sad depending on mood. This made me happy. Thank you.

@KeitelBlacksmith that whole album was awesome
Air Supply and Morphine sounds like a pair of dream headliners for Lollapalooza.

Probably not obscure, but I tend to hate xmas songs, and find this one tolerable enough…
Jethro Tull, A Christmas Song:
