Christmas songs that aren't typical?

I'm looking for some Christmas songs that aren't completely typical.  

So far all I can think of are the South Park Christmas songs....and that's probably not going to work.

Any ideas?

I always like "The Holly any the Ivy"

Not sure how non-typical it is, but when we requested a string quartet to play it at a fancy brunch, they didn't know it.  ;)

"Intolerance" by Tool

That Was The Worst Christmas Ever by Sufjan Stevens. It's one of my favourite Christmas songs :)

Jingle Belch.

Last Christmas by Jimmy eat world and Forget December by something corporate. check out the bath and body holiday cd from last year...its pretty good

Best Christmas song ever.... "Fairytale of New York" by the Pogues and Kirsty MacColl.  But it's pretty well known.

Or treat yourself to a rendition of "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" by Elmo and Patsy  http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=McGMwxjhlW8

Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses

Fairy Tale of New York - The Progues <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ff3aoSyYOVs> ;

Dominick the Donkey!

Try Twisted Sister's album - "A Twisted Christmas"

there are some videos on youtube:

I love their versions of christmas song

I hate the Star Wars movies but I have a Star Wars Christmas CD. We used to listen to the record when we were all kids so maybe that's why I really like it. There are songs like...

Christmas in the Stars
What would ya' get a Wookie for Christmas (If he already owns a comb)

"I Wanna Rock You Hard This Christmas" by the Dan Band (the band from Old School).

"Betelehemu". It's a beautiful Nigerian Christmas song.

For very non-typical you could go with the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society's cds: "A Very Scary Solstice" and "An Even Scarier Solstice".

There's also:
Fear - F*CK Christmas

Atom & His Package - What We Do On Christmas

Descendents - Christmas Vacation

Essential Logic - Do You Believe In Christmas

MDC - Black Christmas

The New Bomb Turks - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)

Sloppy Seconds - Lonely Christmas

Weird Al Yankovic - Christmas at Ground Zero

Born Against - Xmas Eve

John Lennon - Happy Xmas (War is Over)

Books Lie - The Greatest Xmas Gift Ever

the entire Fishbone EP called It's A Wonderful Life

Mighty Mighty Bosstones - This Time of Year

the entire cd "A Santa Cause - It's A Punk Rock Christmas"

 Haha! Oh come on! That song is extremely typical...

Thank you to everyone so far, I wasn't expecting this many replies!

"The River" by Robert Downey Jr. - He wrote it and played it on the piano and sang it on Ally Mcbeal (tv show from 90's)...makes me cry..and I HATE Christmas music in general.

Not sure exactly what you're looking for, but one of my favorite Christmas songs is an old Bing Crosby song, "Christmas in Killarney." You don't hear that one too much anymore.

It's a bit oldfashioned, and the only thing that makes it atypical is that you really don't hear it much anymore.

I grew up with Bing Crosby Christmas songs, so to me it's an oldie but goodie. I got my kids singing and dancing to it the other day; my wife says I'm corrupting them...

"The Night Santa Went Crazy" - Weird Al Yankovic

I've got a boner for Christmas by Nerf Herder
