Alternative Christmas Song Videos
We’ve had a festive trawl around Youtube and put a collection of alternative Christmas videos together to keep your eyeball busy this Xmas.
Here is our Top Ten 10 Alternative Christmas Videos and a few surprise songs are in the too.
Here is the Boss, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band perform Santa Claus is Coming to Town. What a Christmas party!
Gabba Hey! The Ramones -- Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want to Fight Tonight) Pure punk pop genius.
The Killers recorded A Great Big Sled for the Red Charity. Well it’s a very charitable time of year!
St Etienne featuring Tim Burgess of Charlatans fame perform I was Born on Christmas Day on Channel 4’s The Word.
Sujan Stevens -- That Was the Worst Christmas Ever. Where to start with Stevens? He’s made so many indie rock alternative Christmas albums of late picking one track is bound to cause debate. He could have a whole Top Ten of his own!
The Kinks -- Father Christmas. Londons finest Ray Davies and The Kinks get into the festive spirit on the Old Grey Whistle Test
Malcolm Middleton featuring Kim Noble -- We are All Going to Die. The amiable Scot forgot to mention paying taxes!
U2 -- Baby Please Come Home -- Bono give The Edge a run for his money in the hat stakes in this video.
St. Etienne -- My Christmas Prayer. The second video by St. Etienne to feature in our alternative Christmas videos. Sarah come and sing to us on Christmas day!! The track is from the 1993 Lovers Unite Christmas single
Black Box Recorder
Black Box Recorder and Art Brut - Christmas Number One. A sideways swipe at all those cliched Christmas videos!
