This one to just start shit with fundies...
Me: Hey, here's a song about the importance of family togetherness during the holidays
Them: Oh, that sounds nice
Me (in a much lower voice and very quickly): And about pagan lesbians joining one of their uncle's families for Christmas dinner.
Them: What?
Me: Nothing.



Father Christmas by the Kinks



And just so I'm not a total scrooge, I always remembered liking the snow scenes in this:

Nothing screams Christmas to me louder than scat singing and yodeling.....with a little chipmunk aliens thrown in to bridge it all together.

Jägermeister is a horrible tasting herbal liqueur with a deer as it's trademark symbol, made into a cartoon figure here by Die Toten Hosen, a Düsseldorf punk group. "Tote Hose" literally means "dead trousers," but is a slang expression meaning "nothing going on."

The first slow verse translates as "One little Jägermeister ('YAY-ger-MY-ster') didn't like being alone. So, he invited nine others to a Christmas party."

It's a little gruesome, but actually very funny:

21. Classic R&B....Clarence Carter, Back Door Santa lyrics

Dec 2017

They call me Back Door Santa
I make my runs about the break of day
They call me Back Door Santa
I make my runs about the break of day
I make all the little girls happy
While the boys are out to play
I ain't like the old Saint Nick
He don't come but once a year
I ain't like the old Saint Nick
He don't come but once a year
I come runnin' with my presents
Every time you call me dear
I keep some change in my pocket, in case the children are home
I give 'em a few pennies so that we can be alone
I leave the back door open so if anybody smells a mouse
And wouldn't old Santa be in trouble if there ain't no chimney in the house
They call me Back Door Santa
They call me Back Door Santa
I make my runs about the break of day
I make all the little girls happy
While the boys are out to play
That's what they call me, Back Door Santa
That's what they call me
They call me Back Door Santa
That's what all the girls call me
I give 'em all little presents
That's what they call me
They call me Back Door Santa
And I like for them to call me that
They call me Back Door Santa
And I like it and I like it and I like it

Quite frankly, I would have probably assaulted the first customer that pissed me off.
