So, what are your favorite odd-ball renditions of Christmas favorites?
A couple I'm partial to:
Marlene Dietrich singing The Little Drummer Boy in Deutsch:

The infamous Jingle Cats with Silent Night:

And this classic:

I've always thought The Dandy Warhols version of Little Drummer Boy was strange. Wonderfully addictive...but strange. Especially the tighty whitey guy in the video...

BING CROSBY and DAVID BOWIE "The Little Drummer Boy"

I just heard the 12 Days of Cryptmas from Tales from the Crypt's Have Yourself a Scary Little Christmas!!! I ordered the cassette off ebay, but it didn't come yet and probably wont until January :bluesad:
Dead Reindeer
Rudy the redneck pornstar
had a very lengthy hose
and if you ever touched it
you might even say it grows
all of the other pornstars
used to pant and cry his name
as they wrapped themselves in bondage
playing dirty pornstar games
then one horny Christmas eve
Jenna Jameson came to say
"Rudy, with your crotch so tight
wont you #$!& with me tonight?"
then how the pornstars loved him
as they shouted out with glee
"Rudy the redneck pornstar
You went down on his-torr-eee...!"
Always been fond of "Twelve Days" spoofs, such as:

and, from John Valby, the NSFW version:

"Somebody done been to the Wal-Mart!" LOL
There's lots more versions. Can anybody find some others?
Billy Crystal's version of The Christmas Song is pretty good too.

Not a version of a regular Christmas song, but still weird, is Ray Stevens' Santa Claus is Watching You.

Twisted Sister - Oh Come All Ye Faithful

This version of O Holy Night has been around for a while but it's still a classic of sorts:

Anything from Esquivel's Merry Christmas from the Space-Age Bachelor Pad
This is not from the christmas album but you'll get the idea.
