Good Christmas songs?

[Zahri]

Does anyone actually know of any, besides the overplayed ear grating holly jolly garbage that usually comes with this time of the season? Just curious to see if there are any little gems out there that the Escapist knows of.

I myself have one, White Wine in the Sun, by Tim Minchin

Anyone else have any?

 

[Cherry Cola]

"The Night Santa Went Crazy" by Weird Al is the best Christmas song ever.

 

[ReincarnatedFTP]

Father Christmas, The Kinks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjaPXihbORk&feature=fvst
Carol of The Bells/O Emmanuel, August Burns Red: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUId5f1-KbE , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=venG1sMp-No

 

[Aerodynamic]

This will make the most awkward Christmas ever

Awkward is always good =3

 

[UltraParanoia]

I'm not much into christmas music, this is about as close as I can get.

 

[the protaginist]

Besides being an epic song, I love how "Fairytale of New York" sounds like an incredibly cheery chirstmas song and then goes in an entirely different direction...

 

[Pariah87]

Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name...In the UK this year at least.

I quite like this one, rather amusing.

We have a handy youtube tag for such occassions. For example, with this link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=902wZ9XHsIo

copy everything after the '=' and put it after 'youtube=' in brackets, like so: [youtube=902wZ9XHsIo]

You're my damn hero, thanks!

is there some central location where all the board markup is located so I can read up?

[Instant K4rma]

This is as good as it gets for Christmas. Classic, yea, but great none the less.

 

[HonorableChairman]

Bing Crosby's White Christmas and It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas are both great songs.

Basic markup is here. Embed-type markup beyond youtube exists, but each of their video (or other media) identifiers are less easily-recognizable, so a guide to them would be difficult at best.
