Christmas music palate cleansers?
4A couple of years ago I was driving to work in the morning on Christmas Eve. It was about a quarter to ten, and someone on one of the college radio stations (I can’t remember if it was Loyola or Lake Forest, but it was probably a volunteer community dj and not a student) chose to play Suicide’s “Frankie Teardrop.” Now, under normal circumstances I HATE “Frankie Teardrop.” Just HATE IT. Everything about it. Every version. But it seemed SO FUNNY that someone was like, Christmas Eve? Sunday? FUCK IT, I’M PLAYING “FRANKIE TEARDROP.”
My favorite John Laroquette story is that when he was an underground dj (and a heavy drinker) he played the Black Mass from Coven’s WITCHCRAFT DESTROYS MINDS AND REAPS SOULS on Christmas Eve.
So, uh, what do you listen to when you’re sick to death of holiday music and maybe want to make some kind of a point?

Fire up the yule log and turn it up to 11.
And for the finale.
Blue Xmas
@kdemo
Yes!
Not exactly on topic, but not exactly off topic either:
Now I hear the Christmas version differently, and that makes it more tolerable.
In my world, the furthest thing from “I saw mommy kissing santa claus”
First thing that came to mind…
If this doesn’t cleanse your palate of Christmas music, nothing will:
Granted they’re TV shows rather than soundtracks, but -
Pretty much any Doctor Who Christmas special.
an all the rest of the set
@Cerridwyn I like the upbeat one with cheerful lyrics. This is a favorite:
@rockblossom
i have both the original 2 CD’s and copies my daughter made for me eons ago. I have been known to play one or the other over and over again to clean out my brain.

Badgered.
@kdemo one of the higher ups at my work shares a last name with this creature. He has had his homepage set to the website that plays this video a few times.
@djslack -
As long as he doesn’t make everyone view it?
It’s one of the first and still weirdest videos I have ever seen online.
@kdemo oh no other people set it for him so when he opened his browser it would just start going “badger badger badger badger”
@djslack - I love pranks like that! They’re definitely badgering him.
Sounds like your workplace is kind of fun.
