What are some good HOLIDAY songs
You know - the type of songs that aren't really specific for the religon.

I need to download a bunch of them on my MP3 player for tomorrow's XMAS party at work. I mean, I'm guessing my copy of The Sex Pistols "Punk Rock Christmas" isn't something that could be non-specific religion since Christmas is mentioned in it.

So other than the standards of "Rudulph" and "Frosty" what else could I download?

Jingle Bell Rock
My Sharona (just kidding)
Bruce Cockburn has some secular winter songs on his Christmas CD I think
Santa Got a DWI - that's pretty funny if you can find it ( from the Bummed Out Christmas CD)
Winter Wonderland

that's all I can think of at the moment...

3. Anything off of Chris Isaak's x-mas CD.
It is really good. :)

Backdoor Santa by BB King is the best! :)

they call me the back door santa
i make my runs about the break of day
they call me the back door santa
i make my runs about the break of day
i make all the little girls happy, while the boys are out to play
i ain't like the old saint nick, he don't come but once a year
i ain't like the old saint nick, he don't come but once a year
i come runnin with my presents, every time they call me dear
i keep some change in my pocket
i chase the children home
i give them a few pennies so we could be alone
i leave the back door open so if anybody smells the mouse
and wouldn't old santa be in trouble
if there ain't no chimney in the house
they call me the back door santa
i make my runs about the break of day
i make all the little girls happy, while all the boys are out to play
they call me back door santa
yeah that's what they call me
they call me the back door santa
yeah that's what they call me

4. The two Ultra-Lounge Christmas CDs are great.
There's a lot to find on those two. (There's also a third, apparently not as good.)

Check amazon for a list of titles.

7. Not to nitpick but
The Pistols didn't record that song, it was a band called The Ravers.

8. Walking Around In Women's Underwear
Lacy things, the wife is missin'
Didn't ask, her permission
I'm wearin' her clothes
Her silk pantyhose
Walking around in women's underwear

In the store, there's a teddy
Little straps, like spaghetti
It holds me so tight
Like handcuffs at night
Walking around in women's underwear

In the office there's a guy named Melvin,
He pretends that I am Murphy Brown
He'll say, "Are you ready?" I'll say, "Whoa Man!"
"Let's wait until our wives are out of town!"

Later on, if you wanna
We can dress, like Madonna
Put on some eyeshade
And join the parade
Walking around in women's underwear

Lacy things- missin'
Didn't ask- permission
Wearin' her clothes
Her silk pantyhose
Walking around in women's underwear
Walking around in women's underwear
Walking around in women's underwear
