The Two Best Damn Christmas Songs In The Whole World
For my money, there are two Christmas songs that rule over all - sort of like the One Ring in Lord of the Rings, but less likely to corrode your very soul.
The first is Andy Williams' It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. That shit rules. Andy Williams is the king of family Christmas entertainment, and I will fight any man or child who says otherwise. Wait, that's not a very Christmas-y sentiment. I mean, "I will respectfully disagree with anyone who feels otherwise, and then share a cup of eggnog and a laugh with them."
The other ultimate Christmas song is A Fairytale of New York by The Pogues. Featuring a duet between the dentally challenged Shane McGowan and the late Kirsty MacColl, Fairytale is the sweetest, saddest, and most profane Christmas song ever recorded. If it doesn't stir something within you, I would advise seeking medical attention because you are missing your heart.
Ha! I kid. I mean, "If you don't like it, I will respectfully disagree and then share a bottle of single malt and a laugh with you!"

They're both pretty great, but there's very little that can beat It's Cliched To Be Cynical At Christmas by Half Man Half Biscuit...

What, no "Santa Baby" by Rev. Run (featuring Snoop Dogg, Salt 'n' Pepa, Mase, and Onyx)? No "My First Christmas (As A Woman)" by The Vandals? No "Let's all sing our praises to that long-haired radical socialist Jew"?
No "We Three Kings Of Orient Are Trying To Smoke a Loaded Cigar"?

No love for Run DMC's "Christmas in Hollis"?

Is that Matt Dillon making a cameo as the cop at the beginning of the video?
Also, welcome back, Dave!

My favorite is Merry Fucking Christmas, by Mr. Garrison from South Park.
