Christmas Music - Out of the ordinary

[JonM]

So about a month ago, I posted this thread, complaining about Christmas music. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=556657

Now it's Dec. 20, my heart has grown three sizes, and I'm in the Christmas spirit. So let's post some Christmas songs that are not the versions of the ones that we hear every day, but are a little different. Here are a couple of gems I heard while listening to Milwaukee's excellent college station, WMSE, while brewing yesterday.

Ray Charles and B.B. King:

Johnny Cash:

And I ordinarily hate, hate, hate, hate Carol of the Bells, but this version is so damn cool:

Well, you did say "out of the ordinary."

I heard this yesterday and it is one of the most delightfully weird things I've heard. Then the DJ came on and announced that the Goons was Peter Sellers and a bunch of others. I looked them up and there are videos of big guys like John Cleese praising the Goons as comedic geniuses.

The collected Christmas music of Sufjan Stevens is a tradition round this house. Definitely out of the ordinary.

Ive always been a fan of Christmas music by Vince Gill. Listened to the album a few times on the way into work or on my way to the woods hunting.

I heard this the other day on xm radio and really enjoyed it. Although I am a fan of Corey Taylor
