to me there are two types of Christmas songs

the ones not about Jesus and the ones about Jesus.

of the ones not about Jesus,

my favorite is “I Want” by Tenacious D and Sum 41

originally released in 2001 for a kroq christams album

but can more easily be found on the 2003 compilation “Christmas Calling“

which has forgettable tracks by Fiona Apple, Macy Gray, and Fuel, among others.

but this D tune – it’s just so funny – while cleverly commenting on the crass commercialism

and selfishness of this holy season.

wrapped in an iron maiden judas priest danger kitty case of metal love.

the homemade video by a fan of the song makes it even better.
