anti-xmas songs

[pagey3]

My best mate is a bit of a scrooge and not a very christmassy sort of girl, and her family xmasses always stress her out so i was going to make her a CD of ANTI-xmas songs - her own special seasonal CD! Apart from the obvious summer-themed songs anyone got any good sugestions for feel good songs that are not christmassy AT ALL!
Ta.
(p.s. I LOVE christmas!)

What about some of Bonzo Dog DooDah Band's stuff - Urban Spaceman, Jollity Farm etc. Completely bonkers and not a bit Christmassy.

Have you got any "Summer Hits" compilation albums? That ought to do the trick (and it'll put her in the mood for booking her hols next summer � and hopefully she'll invite you along!)

Oh yeah! "My pink half of the drainpipe" and "Mr. Slaters Parrot" My favourite was the instruments coming in one at a time with an intro from Viv Stanchall, ("Ted Heath on piano) (?)

The Wurzels Combine Harvester song. Nothing to do with Xmas and yet toe tappingly addictive.

How about Des O'Connor Greatest Hits? Should go down well.

ha ha i like that eyeshade - she'll be begging for more slade once that album's finished!

[beejaybee]

What about Ricki Tomlinson "Xmas my Arse".

[kristeven]

Also Kevin Bl@ @dy Wilson does a Christmas song, very rude of course.

My favorite anti-Xmas song: "Christmas is Pain" by Roy Zimmerman, from his album "Comic Sutra." He does an hysterical Bob Dylan impersonation, and the lyrics are spot-on - here's a sample:

There's a turkey a gobblin' out in the yard
Now he's gutted and stuffed and he's basted and charred
And your father is whistlin' and washin' the blood down the drain
Christmas is pain

There's a crowd on the hillside with hatchets and saws
With a keen disregard for the forestry laws
And they happily hum while the stumps slowly bleed in the rain
Christmas is pain

And the stockings are hung by the chimney with care
As if anyone in their right mind would hang 'em there
And some tired old crooner is croakin' out carols again
Christmas is pain

And you wait for an hour to see Santa Claus
And he's covered with velveteen, bourbon and gauze
And he pinches your mother and she can't find the words to explain
Christmas is pain
