Power Rankings - Christmas Songs You've Never Heard

Sticking with the theme du jour, I've decided to put together a week of power rankings related to Christmas. First things first, since you can only listen to Christmas music for about 5 weeks a year (and two of those are already gone) without drawing strange looks from the guy in the cubicle next to you (despite his jamming to Alanis Morrisette), I'll start with those.


5. Christmas with the Devil (Spinal Tap)



Spinal Tap, most notable for their documentary film, performed this song for the Arsenio Hall Show. Unfortunately, the video is old and the audio isn't very high quality. (I suppose some of you will suggest that it's actually the quality of the song that's not good, but I digress.) Hopefully, your speakers go to 11.


4. The Chanukah Song (Neil Diamond)



Unfortunately, the song is the exact same as Adam Sandler's original, but there's just something about throwing in a random "ba ba baaaa" into the song as in: "Chanukah is the festival of lights. (Ba ba baaaa)"


3. Another Christmas Song (Stephen Colbert)

Performed as part of his 2008 Christmas special (available now on DVD) as a shameless self promotion, the song is sure to never become a Christmas favorite, but that's fine because it will be on this list for years to come.


2. Jingle Bells (The Detroit Pistons c. 2006)



Words escape me.


1. O Holy Night (Eric Cartman)



O Holy Night was my favorite Christmas song as a child. At this point, not so much. And then I heard Cartman sing it. I know it's a pretty common song, but it's still worth posting. If you want originality, try this.
