In the spirit of the season, here’s a completely arbitrary list of the five best Christmas music videos on the web. Or at least five videos I find entertaining and/or amusing. Enjoy, and Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and most importantly, have a very Blessed Festivus…
5. Mele Kalikimaka by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters (via National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.) No matter how much you like Christmas, who doesn’t look out the window this time of year and long for the nice warm days of summer? Especially if Cousin Eddie isn’t involved…
4. Ave Maria by Luciano Pavarotti. Simply put, the guy was a badass.
3. The Hanukkah Song by Adam Sandler. Yeah, I know it’s not a Christmas song, but the holiday season just isn’t the same without it.
2. Merry Christmas from the Family by Robert Earl Keene. If you didn’t grow up in the South, you probably won’t get this one, and you may even find it borderline offensive. But if you did grow up and/or still live in the South, this video probably hits closer to home than you’d like to admit. And besides, how can you not like a song that begins with the line: “Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk at our Christmas party…”?
1. Santa Claus is Coming to Town by Frank Sinatra. Sinatra’s probably the only guy in history who could look cool and make women go weak in the knees while singing this song. And, no, I’m not forgetting about Springsteen’s version. Sorry, Bruce.
