Oh, yeah. Yeah, you're happy to do it. Oh, no, said having not happy i wouldn't say that um thank you for your sacrifice person listening do you listen to music are you aware of the holiday season where they play music that is based around the time of the year we're gonna talk about that that music boy talk about a sincerity deficit can't wait for your wedding huh this is the Christmas music draft should we do a thing like since I'll be honest Andrew I'm not

feeling your intro should we go the other route should we all do the intro at the same time no on the count of three and then just everybody that we all do it we get out of the way sure Sure. We already did it. Intro's done. Yeah. Nobody wanted to do it. Gavin, you wrote

I just got married. I'm Jeff Ramsey. I just got married and I don't feel like doing this intro. I'm not a big intro guy. Hey, welcome to the Christmas song draft. We do a song draft and I love Christmas songs. We want you to play along at home.

That's the nightmare. We're putting it all together. It's going to be a lot of fun. Play along with us if you want to. We're really excited to see you. And see which draft is the strongest. We have random.org already up, and now we just have to figure out how much we're going to randomize.

That was a hundred times better than the original one. No, no. It was so bad to someone who was listening. Awful. I apologize to the audience. I should have done a better job to prevent that. That's on me. They got like five intros for the price of one.

Nick, can you go ahead and mix that down to a 5.1 or something so we can have a different voice coming out of each speaker? Oh, no. Ooh. Let's see what we can do. That would be insane that would be the craziest that would be the craziest fucking thing and then it all goes back to all in all channels could you imagine sitting on your home stereo and all of a sudden just that part goes to 5.1. Oh my God. Terrifying. I want to be rear left.

So, we have random.org and we've done this before where we've made a Christmas playlist or I'm sorry, we made a playlist of 98, the ultimate playlist and I think we're going to do something similar where we're going to be drafting our songs,

putting together in a playlist so that way you guys can listen but we have to figure out our draft order and of course we have an egg written out but how many times are we going to randomize guys what's a musical number oh that's a good question what's it i'll me google that what's the most musical number yeah four probably the most musical number according to google is that didn't help okay we'll go four let's four. Yeah, I like four four on the floor All right, Gavin you feeling for I like four. Yeah. All right. Here we go. Here's one

Hell yeah, here's two. Oh, here's three What and here's four. Oh! That's some bullshit! Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me with that? Andrew was tough every single time except for the last random, and now he's bummed. Are you kidding me?

You were first, first, first, last. Oh, that's awesome. So our order... Fuck that. Now, here's the thing. When we did this previously, I don't think we did it snake rules. I think... Didn't we just go one, two, three, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5?

Because it was just making a playlist? I don't even remember. No, we didn't. But we'll do a draft, and we'll do a playlist, and we'll do snake. Did we not? No, we didn't. It wasn't a draft. And that one was just like, hey, let's talk about music of 98.

This is a draft. Okay. And we're also making a playlist for. Oh, it's a draft list? Oh, I have this set up as a draft. Okay. And we're also making a playlist for. Oh, it's a draft list? Oh, I have this set up as a playlist. Well, we can make a playlist of it after. But Eric, you are about to pick the greatest Christmas song of all time. I mean, I know what I'm picking, but now I have to make another draft board.

Yeah, well, you can fill. But you're not picking where you are in the order? Yeah, you got to pick your order. Oh, we're doing that again? Yeah. Well, it can fail. But you're not picking where you are in the order? Yeah, you gotta pick your order. Oh, we're doing that again? Yeah. Well, it was really successful last time. No, it wasn't. Do you think it was?

Okay, then I will... We'll vamp for you while you prepare. So, Andrew, what is your favorite Christmas cookie? What do you mean by Christmas cookie? Like a cookie I would only have at Christmas? No, I don't know what a Christmas cookie is. Like a gingerbread? Is that what you mean?

I like a sugar cookie. Yeah, no. Okay, so with my pick, the draft order selection, I have been chosen as first in the draft order, and so i'm going to go first lack of imagination that's what i'd say about that uh nick is number two nick where would you

like to draft i've been chosen second right and i'm going to pick correct second oh interesting interesting interesting um scratch next we have gavin gavin you're uh third where would you like to draft i think i'll go third oh okay cool yeah i think that's great i think that's strong um and now jeff you're fourth so now i i can't bump one through three i can only pick fourth or five yeah if i decide i want to go last well here's the problem with that i went last last time yeah and while i had a lot of fun with it, I think there are a lot of there are a lot of pressures with going first or last because, yeah,

well, it's just it's a whole thing. So I'm going to go. I'm going to stick with fourth. Oh, I like that. That's great. And so, Andrew, you have no choice but to go fifth. I would like to go second. Nope.

You can go fifth. So enjoy fifth. And this will be a snake draft apparently um we're doing a snake draft for this now andrew did the new rules work out uh exactly as you thought they would uh with this group of people yes yes i did that is exactly what i expected from everybody here yes okay wonderful okay so the way this is gonna work is we're each gonna pick a song and uh we'll go through one two three four five and then five four three two one one two three four five snake draft like we've done every other time so uh i will kick it off with my favorite christmas song of all time

to me number one with a bullet uh and that is pa McCartney's Wonderful Christmas. Oh! Jesus. Gavin hates it. Gavin's not a fan of that song. Here's the thing. I didn't know that Gavin hated this song until we talked about it a couple weeks ago. But it was already my favorite Christmas song. God, now it's the regulation greatest christmas song yes all time number one

what a weird one for gavin to hate i when it comes to christmas time i don't know who you are eric i couldn't in my head there's nothing less eric badour than you bopping around your house with simply having a wonderful christmas time while love actually is playing in the back. I love it. Like all of that feels so unlike you in my head. Oh, dude, he's got a Christmas sweater on and he's sipping some single origin coffee. That's totally Eric. Absolutely. I got my I got my my hoodie on that has Snoopy in a big puffer coat. And then I have my Snoopy ornaments hanging on my tree. I'm ready to go, baby. Paul McCartney, it's great. What do you hate about it, Kevin? I think it's annoying.

Under the chorus, there's some sort of like... It just doesn't line up with any of the musical lyrics. It just pisses me off. Skip. Skip ahead to the next one, please. Thank you. I love that song. I just think it's great. The music video's really fun. The moon is out. just think it's a great the music video is really

fun the mood is so bad the video stinks oh it's the best yeah it's such a great it's it just it just evokes christmas to me and it's number one i would listen to nick's version of it we should do a nick sings the classics oh good dude no licensing issues there oh that's my number one pick so now it's time for nick to have his number one pick the nick pick sticking with a former beetle i'm going with john lennon's Happy X-Mist, War is Over. It's also with Yoko. But, yeah. There's something about that song. There's something about this song, I don't know, that just like anytime you hear it,

there's that haunting chorus with the kids singing in the background. I don't know. It has a really good anti-war message, which is interesting. It was for the Vietnam War, and then it's become more of a Christmas hit that's still played. And a lot of bands have covered it. Actually, Shinedown does a really good cover, and I still love that version of that song, too. So it's one that I always play and I always think of. And also, I wanted to make sure that I got it before anyone else here.

I hate this song. Really? I think it's hollow. I think the message is really stupid. I think that it's not a very good Christmas song. I don't like that song at all, which is so weird because if you put them together,

Wonderful Christmas Time and Happy Christmas War is over. One is a lot stronger than the other, but I like Wonderful Christmas Time. What a dichotomy here. Yeah, but that's the way, Nick, that's the way people look at us. I'm the Paul, you're the John. I like wonderful Christmas time. What a dichotomy here. Yeah. But that's the way, Nick, that's the way people look at us. I'm the Paul, you're the John.

I think that totally makes sense. Oh, I don't know. Hey. What? That's so sad. You're dead. Yeah, I know. Merry Christmas?

Eric chose life and he damned you. What is it? I don't... Yeah, I was going to disagree, but you're right. In that context, he did choose life. Assigned to you, death. Oh, man. You've been dead for a while, too.

You've been dead for a bit. I will say, I think it's the perfect amount of kids' choir. That can be a real problem with Christmas music. Too much kids' choir. John Lennon's Happy Xmas. Just the perfect amount of kids choir. That can be a real problem with Christmas music. Too much kids choir. John Lennon's Happy Xmas. Just the right amount. Yeah, it works. It's not annoying.

In my opinion, it works. Yeah, I agree. Totally get it. But now it's Gavin's pick. And I'm so excited. It's a classic. Fuck. It's a Christmas classic.

Merry Christmas, everybody. That's the name of the song by who it's by slade oh the glam rock band slade yeah it's like so here it is merry christmas everybody's having fun that's the band that's the band that wrote all of quiet riots hits yeah come on feel the noise originally yeah what that wrote all of Quiet Riot's hits. Yeah, come on, feel the noise. Originally by Slade. What? Yeah, all of Quiet Riot's hits were covers of Slade. Oh, that makes me upset.

Noddy, what's the guy? Noddy Holder, I think is the guy's name. Yeah. The guy that sings with the teeth. And the best part of the song is towards the end, he just goes, It's Christmas! None of that came through.

The best part is that that was pure silence. When you think of Slade, do you think of... This is all I think of when I think of Slade. I think of, come on, feel the noise, add this. No, it's the guys holding their hands out and Slade is written on their four fingers in their thumb and it looks so dumb. What's the guys holding their hands out and Slade is written on their four fingers in their thumb and it looks so

dumb. What's the other guy? Dave Hill, I think. Is it Dave Hill from Slade who has the best hair? Let me see. What's his? It just looks like Slad. Oh, yeah, yeah. Look at this. Okay.

Let's post this in the Discord. Dave Hill from Slade. Dear God. Come on, feel the noise. Does he help Robin Hood? Fry a tuck! That's my pick almost for the poor

all right Merry Xmas everybody by Slade Jeff you're the fourth okay okay I'm excited about this

now listen I have a lot of fun when we do these drafts but I think one thing I hope you know about me at this point

is that I don't fuck around with music I take it very seriously yeah point is that I don't fuck around with music. I take it very seriously. Yep. It's true. I don't think you guys are going to agree with my picks, but I don't, I guess I don't really give a shit.

So I'm going to probably send links because I don't think you will have heard of some of these songs. The very first, are we doing four or five? Four. Four. Okay. I thought we were doing five for some reason uh i the first song i'm gonna pick is the ramones merry christmas i don't want to fight tonight yeah hell yeah uh that i think it's a fucking phenomenal song i i wouldn't be surprised if you haven't heard it like i said so i'll put it in the chat here for you if you want

to listen to it at some point it is is a great, it's a great song. That is a great, that's a really great song. Good pick. It's one of those songs that it is technically a Christmas song, but it's good all year round. Mm-hmm. It's fucking awesome, perfect, like at the Ramones when they were, I don't know,

when they were at their absolute best, just an absolute fucking banger of a song. So there you go, that's all. I'm surprised you didn't pick something that was written by Blake Shelton's mom. It's just a song. Well, I would,

I would pick a Blake Shelton song probably. Oh yeah, you're right. She's the writer. Yeah. Yeah. It's smart. Andrew,

you get two picks, a little back to back action being fifth. I can't believe that I, the what's available is available to me. I love this. This is great great i was worried about it once again i would have wanted top two didn't need it and i get the swing i get both of these i'm going with and this is i think the most iconic christmas song one of them at least when

you hear this you think christmas all-time great mariah carey, All I Want for Christmas. Of course. Fantastic song. For me, fond memories of a kid of like blasting this around the holidays and running around the house with my mom. I have a personal connection to it. Just a great Christmas song. An absolute banger. Do you think maybe overplayed? No, I don't actually. I think it's such a good banger.

Not overplayed. It makes me feel like I'm in the mall whenever I hear it, which is what I want for Christmas. It does. It sounds like being in the mall. That's a good way to put it. Oh, yeah. Do you know how much she makes for that song?

No. Apparently, as of 2021, she'd made over $60 million. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, I thought she makes like 60 million a year no i think she makes about three million dollars a year in uh in royalties from it and then it's totaled up to about 60 60 million hell yeah uh i think 80 million is what i'm seeing now as of 2023 yeah that's great a lot of money in christmas music yeah big time you just got to do something for

the holidays that people put on. I don't know. If you go on YouTube and you find a Yule Log video that's eight hours long that your favorite podcast put out, and then you just put that on for a long time. Yeah. What's the resolution on that bad boy there? Oh, I think that's a 4K, isn't it?

Well, it's 8K. I'm sorry. Is that an 8K? Wow. Wow. that's impressive you know what the perfect holiday would be for me i think it would be putting on the 8k yule log video then turning on spotify selecting the uh face holiday songs playlist and just just sitting on the sofa yeah maybe maybe relaxing while listening while watching watching some logs burn and listening to some joyous holiday music. What a day.

I get that. Gavin, you're right. It is an 8K. I guess my issue is I always just watch it in like 240p. So that's why I was confused. But you're right. It is an 8K. Wow.

That's really incredible. What an incredible thing we did. You need faster internet. Mm-hmm. Andrew, you get another pick. I'm going with Nick got it the first time from me in the last movie draft we did. I didn't get Home Alone. I'm getting my Home Alone pick in right now.

I'm going with Chuck Berry's Run Rudolph Run. Such a fun Christmas song. Great scene in Home Alone., the running through the airport. Just an all-time, I think, essential part of any Christmas playlist. Great song. Good pick. Good pick. Very good pick.

I got to rethink this. Jeff, what do you think? Oh, it's me again already. Oh, wow. So this next one, I'm'm gonna go with something a little newer uh i'm actually new to the song but i've been really enjoying it this holiday season i didn't even know this album came out in 2016 it is a holiday album from one of my favorite artists so let me go ahead and link it here this is uh big frida's s Santa is a Gay Man,

and it's sung to the Mr. Sandman song. It's fucking awesome. I recommend the whole album. It's like a six-song album, but that one in specific I think is a really fun and festive and dancey, buzzy kind of song. Huh. Never heard it. Excited to listen to it.

Yeah, big time. I'm glad that's part of the playlist. Please do. Please do. I put a link in the thing. whole the whole big frida album the christmas album is really good but there you go so exciting gavin after that do you think you can top big frida santa is a gay man um i mean i think in memory of uh shane mcgowan recently unfortunately deceased Shane McGowan, recently, unfortunately, deceased. I'm going to have to go with the Pogues, Fairytale of New York. Oh, that's a good one.

That's very, that's very cool. Might be a word missing from it these days, but the spirit is the same. Uh-huh. A little different, but it's okay. How are you feeling about his passing? I mean, I'm sad about it, but to be honest, based on his life, I can't believe he lived so long.

Yeah. I think some, I saw somebody post about it, sum it up and say like, not surprising that he passed, surprising he made it to his 60s. Yeah. Crazy.

That's crazy. Fairytale of New York, I think is a really great song. I think that there's a lot of really good Christmas music. That is definitely, that's way up there. Was that a big hit in the US? I mean, it's about New York. Not as big like it was in the UK, I don't think,

but I think it was a pretty big deal. I think it's one that you would hear on the classic rock station or the rock station they would play around Christmas time. Very distinctive voice. Very distinctive sound. Very distinctive sound. Very distinctive teeth. Very distinctive teeth. Oh, man. Oh, I just don't.

Whoa, my God. Crazy. Crazy. Nick, how are you feeling about your next pitch? Oh, not good, Eric. Not good at all. I have to admit that Andrew's thrown me a bit of a pickle, and now I might have to pivot here and become very annoying. So let's see. I'm going to go with...

Vince Guaraldi. What? What the hell was that? What just happened? Did you guys hear that? Yeah. What was that? What was that?

That was, I assume, you. No. Who's here with us? Nick, Gavin, Jeff, Andrew, Craig. Craig? The fuck? Well, we're just going to go past Vince and go with Last Christmas by Wham! Oh, Last Christmas.

That's on my list. It's a song that I find you can probably hear it once and then if you hear it more than that in a single season you will start to lose your mind and if you're out shopping you will hear it many many times so it's your number two pick yeah and i think the moral of the story is like don't give away a heart on boxing day yeah oh yeah yeah do you guys remember that there was a movie that came out like two years ago called Last Christmas? Yes. Where somebody literally gave them their heart after a car accident?

It's all I think about. Could have been on the movie list. Could have been on the movie list. Whenever I hear that song, that's all I think about is somebody thinking they were a genius being like, Dude, what if this was literal? What if this was a literal story and it was a ghost but we have to title it

it has to be we have to make it as obvious as humanly possible what we're doing here it would have been so funny if they couldn't get the rights to the song just the song as the movie that's one of those super high budget music videos that was shot on like really high quality film.

So it's like remastered in 4K, that music video. Jesus Christ. It's a schmaltzy song and I like it. You know, it's got that kind of fun schmaltz factor. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. My pick, so I got two in a row here.

My first one that I'll pick here is Drifters' White Christmas, which I think is the best version of that song with like the real boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. I love that. I think that is so Christmas-y to me. I love it. I think it's the only good thing from the Santa Claus is I think of when I hear that song,

I think of the scene from that movie, but that's, that's really it. I really, really think that song's great. This next one. I don't know if how you, uh,

well, I guess we'll just go. It's a Bing Crosby song. I think Bing Crosby is a, uh, i love a crooner uh for christmas music uh melaka leaky maca is the thing to say uh on a hawaiian christmas day and i love that song i love that kind of throwback sound for christmas it that growing up i never had snow on christmas so that kind of like bright cheery christmas stuff i always really resonated with and that song is very bright and cheery uh never ever snowy in san diego uh on christmas so i always thought that was nice i

really i like that song a lot if you haven't heard heard it, listen to it on this playlist. But it's it's a great one. Good crooner stuff. My introduction to it is a Christmas vacation. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Not that. Right. But yeah, it's that song is in the movie when he's looking out his window and imagining

why. Mm hmm. It's it's a great I just I love those two songs. I think Drifter. I like an old Christmas sound. And that is definitely an old Christmas sound. Both of those. So, those so nick how about you taking a schmaltz up a notch we're going with the beach boys little saint nick that's a fun song it's only two minutes too so it's really short so if you are annoyed by it you get through quickly but i will say this song actually has like

a special place in my heart because um last year we started playing it in front of our son and he loved that song in fact we played it so much that it was the number one song on our spotify as a result of it and anytime it ended he was like more more does he think it's about you uh i'd like to believe so like that's wow I've done it pretty special I'm a little saint okay that's that's awesome um

Gavin your third pick I'm gonna go with Feliz Navidad good song oh yeah it's uh it just gets me moving in a way that a lot of

these old farty Christmas ones don't often do the way you feel about wonderful Christmas is how I feel about Feliz Navidad yeah I don't like it this personal preference I just I hate

everything about it i hate the sound i hate the lyrics i just i'm not a fan of any of the feel of it it feels very corny to me personally but that's just a me thing it gets me moving in a way where i like i bend my elbows and make fists so they're like pointing at each other and then i just like shimmy the upper half i can picture that so clearly and I'm so happy you have that in your life. It just for whatever reason. And I get little stompy feet on the spot. Totally.

I'm glad it made the list. It was on my alternates to add in but it's such a great song despite what Andrew thinks. Yeah. Yeah despite what Andrew thinks. I agree. No I'm just kidding everybody. It is. I do love that song though. it's great great pick kevin that's a good pick i wouldn't have thought

i wouldn't have thought to pick that one i think it's a really good pick kevin i like that on this playlist that's fun i'm really honestly with the deeper we get into this i always struggle with christmas playlists because they it's never really like the mood that i want or whatever having all of these on one playlist, I'll be able to keep probably for the rest of my life on one playlist and feel really good about what we have here. This is... Well, it's not a real...

It's not done yet. We got a whole round. Guys, what are you about to do? Oh, no. Okay, Jeff. Your turn. Okay, for my next pick, I'm pretty sure...

I'm going to make an assumption that nobody has heard this song except for Eric, who I'm pretty sure has probably heard this song. It's a punk rock classic sticking with the theme of music that's important to me.

Obviously, I started off with the Ramones. I'd be remiss if I didn't add the 45-second banger by The Fear, Fuck Christmas. Fuck.

Yeah. It's a great song oh my god put it in the chat for the people that don't know it that's so cool what a great what a great one oh this is so cool this is great

I'm really I'm so excited for this one to be on the list that's awesome that is so cool. This is great. I'm really, I'm so excited for this one to be on the list. That's awesome. I'm glad, I'm glad. That's so cool. It's a great change up. I haven't heard it. Oh, yeah.

It's just, here's the thing about Fuck Christmas. They say it a lot. Yeah, that's pretty much the chorus. I would say it's more than half the song. Yeah. It's pretty much the chorus. I would say it's more than half the song. It's pretty exciting. Oh, God. Oh, that's great. I wonder where it would be best placed.

Like, if you hit shuffle on this playlist, do you want it as the first track? Do you want it randomly in the middle? Where do you want it last? All I want for Christmas is you to end and Fears fuck Christmas. Oh, man. Andrew, you get your last two picks.

You're back to back. Oh, man. It's tough because there's so many great options still on the board. There are. There's a lot. There's a lot on the table. Fuck. What am I going to go with?

You know what? I'm going to go with Run DMC's Christmas in Hollis. It's a great Christmas song, and it's an even greater music video. I'd highly recommend anybody watch the music video for Christmas in Hollis. The plot of it is that there's a sneaky little trickster elf who's just making everybody naughty and he fucks up and he puts run dmc on the naughty list and they go investigate it and track down this troublemaker of an elf it's ridiculous it's a fun christmas song it's a rap song so it's like a little bit different than your traditional playlist it's a nice change of

pace i think it's just an all-around great song that's great i love that sounds so christmasy too it does yeah it has a great christmas sound to it speaking of great christmas sounds a song that i thought eric would have went with and i was gonna try to undercut him with this pick uh we talked about before the right amount of of child choir and a Christmas song. Charlie Brown's Christmastime is Here has too much, in my opinion. Okay. I like the song, though.

So I'm going with the instrumental version of Christmastime is Here from the Charlie Brown Christmas. It is such a classic, iconic Christmas sound. It's perfect for, like, kind of end of the night, winding down. It's iconic Christmas sound. It's perfect for like kind of end of the night winding down. It's the Christmas spirit. I think it fills a really important role in a general playlist of like embracing the season and just kind of taking it all in for a moment. And I don't think there's any more iconic Christmas music than that. No,

that's, that's a good one too. It was on, it's on my list and I was considering making it my fourth, but not the instrumental version. That's what I thought. You're going to pick the normal version, and then I was going to take the instrumental.

I was absolutely going to pick the normal version. I love the normal version. I listen to, as soon as Thanksgiving is over, I put the Peanuts Christmas album on, and I am so excited. I love that album. I think it's so good. Great album.

Yep. Yep. Jeff, your last pick. on and I am so excited I love that album I think it's a great album yep Jeff your last pick man I had a really hard time with this last pick I narrowed it down to three songs I'm just gonna tell you what I eliminated because I don't think you guys are gonna pick them Murder City Devils had a song called

364 Days which is a really good it's a good song but it's also a Christmas song but it's not like a Christmas song if you know what I mean but which is a really good it's a good song, but it's also a Christmas song, but it's not like a Christmas song, if you know what I mean, but it is a Christmas song. But it's a little long, and then I was on the fence about Easy E's Merry Motherfucking Christmas, but I

felt like that might have been a little obvious. I wanted to go with something a little more unique, and I don't think you guys are familiar with this. You guys know Christopher Lee, right? The actor? Yeah. do you guys know he's in a heavy metal band i do know that but i have no idea what like type of music like how deep that it's heavy metal yeah uh that's what i call a heavy metal band well he was in a heavy metal band and his heavy metal band is just called christopher lee i believe they made a christmas album And so the last song I'm picking, and I put a link in here, is

Little Drummer Boy from A Heavy Metal Christmas by Christopher Lee. So if you ever wanted to hear Christopher Lee sing the Little Drummer Boy. What? Okay. This is fucking real. It's 100% legit.

Okay. What? I didn't know this existed. That's interesting. Yeah, I didn't either. I was doing a bunch of research, and I went down this rabbit hole, and I've just been transfixed.

It's so fucking clearly Christopher Lee singing Little Drummer Boy to heavy metal music. That doesn't fit the music at all. It's quite loud as well. Okay. I take back everything that I said about being excited about this playlist to have on for the rest of my life. Oh, come on.

It's the Little Drummer Boy. It's heavy metal. It's good. You listen to it. You'll love it. You'll love it. I'll love it. Gavin, your last pick.

Can you top Christopher Lee's metal version Of Little Drummer Boy? Oh, probably not Once I'm all sweaty from Feliz Navidad I like to sit down by the fire And listen to a little bit of Chris Ria Driving home for Christmas Different vibe I don't know this

Oh, is that not I don't know what's popular in which country Chris Ria R-E-A Ria, okay I don't know this. Oh, is that not? I don't know what's popular in which country. Chris Rhea. R-E-A. Rhea, okay. Yeah. Have you never heard Driving Home for Christmas?

It's a mellow one. Driving Home for Christmas. Do you guys know this song? No. Never heard it. Weird. It's so weird which ones just didn't make it over here. I've heard that probably 7, times from like 1986 never never ever heard of it no i don't know who chris ria is i don't

no idea damn what a clinker oh no no no no it's about no it's about sharing your culture with us we're expanding our minds we're gonna learn i mean mean, Gavin, if you look at your list, it's pretty international. So it's pretty. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. You're broadening our horizons, much like I did with Christopher Lee. It's what the point is. And fear.

Nick, your last pick. I have been bouncing back and forth on this decision because on one hand, who doesn't love Trans-Siberian Orchestra? But there is another song. I don't love them. Aside from Jeff, who doesn't love Trans-Siberian Orchestra?

Of course. But that being said, I did go with this song because I think a lot of our fans, and I bet some of us are also familiar with it from Guitar Hero 3. It's a cover of We Three Kings by Steve Ouimet. O-U-I-M-E-T-T-E.

It's like a metal cover of the song. You know, so it's like, it's really, really good. I don't know. I had a stroke in the middle of that apparently. So I'm not the only one to pick a metal version of a Christmas song yeah it's a great song there's no lyrics in it

it's just the guitar riff essentially and it's really good it's a really fun song and I highly recommend it what song is it? We Three Kings great Ice Cube movie that was a great Ice Cube movie yeah i like when mark walberg stands up and he goes are we shooting people and they go what are we shooting people or what it's great

that part's cool uh we three kings huh you you you don't like it no no i just i just don't know that it's christmas i know the song but like i don't know this version i guess what you're about to i know i was gonna say i'm excited i'm excited to hear gonna be on your christmas playlist for the rest of your life i'm really excited to hear it for the rest of my life you guitar hero 3 dlc we three kings expert 100 1 100 note chart okay awesome um i have a lot i think we should go through honorable mentions when we're done here of what else could potentially be on this because i think there's a lot but i'm gonna round mine out with a song that i didn't think was anyone else was gonna have on this list but i am uh definitely putting on here and it is the kinks father christmas i i love this song i know that i

am i'm such a big fan of this song uh growing up it was something my dad would put on and uh he had like a cassette with all like these different i think it's probably why wonderful christmas time is way up there for me too uh it was also on the same cassette and uh yeah father christmas is a great song from the kinks uh so that is wow that's my list was on my list about that that looks like a solid playlist this is a very solid playlist i think i don't think there's any clunkers in here at all um let's run it down real quick my four picks paul mccartney wonderful christmas time drifters white christmas bing crosby melaka Likiaka. Number four is Kinks, Father Christmas.

Nick's four picks. John Lennon, Happy Xmas, War Is Over. Wham! Last Christmas. Beach Boys, Little Saint Nick. And Steve Aumet, We Three Kings. From Guitar Hero 3, The Deals. What a mix.

Also, there's a Beach Boy songs in 3 King. There's a Beach Boy, run, run, I get around. Oh, yeah. We gotta watch 3 Kings. I get plugged up and down the sandals. Gavin's four picks

are Slade, Merry Xmas, everybody. The Pogues, Fairy Tale of New York, Jose Feliciano, Feliz Navidad. And Chris Rea, Driving Home for Christmas. I will say Gavin, before we did this draft, I thought, can I undercut Gavin in some way? So I searched Mr. Blippi Christmas just to see if there was one. And I was very disappointed that he does not have a Christmas song.

Mr. Blippi? Whatever the fuck. Blobby. Blobby. Whatever the fuck. But that song, that Mr. Blobby song I posted was a Christmas number one. Well, it was, it was, no, it was,

but it's not a Christmas song. It's just about him. Yeah, but he was searching for Mr. Blippi songs, so it didn't come up. Yeah, you ended up watching Blippi videos. Oh, man. That dude's all over my fucking Hulu splash screen. Jeff's four picks are Ramones, Merry Christmas,

I Don't Want to Fight Tonight. Great song. Great song. Big Frida, Santa is a Gay Man. Great song. Big Frida, Fuck Christmas, and Christopher Lee uh metal version of the little drummer boy a little bit out there

and finally andrew our last pick um honestly very conventional picks from andrew yeah i was surprised to see this mariah carey all i want for christmas is you chuck berry run rudolph run run dmc christmas and hollis and charlie brown's christmas time is here the instrumental version to see this. Mariah Carey, All I Want for Christmas is You, Chuck Berry, Run Rudolph Run, Run DMC Christmas in Hollis, and Charlie Brown's Christmastime is Here, the instrumental version. Nobody picked Jingle Bell Rock. Oh, interesting. No. There's a lot of classics that were missed. There was a lot left on the

floor here. Is Christopher Lee the only known killer in our Christmas picks? I don't mean in a murder way, just like he was in the military, he killed somebody. No, he killed lots of people, yeah. Killed tons of people.

I'm just, I'm looking at this list, I'm curious if anyone else has killed anyone. He like slit throats and shit. He was pretty, he did some scary shit in the military. I think he might be the only killer. I don't know, I don't know if John Lennon ever killed anybody, did he?

Not that I'm aware of. Chuck Berry pissed on people, but I don't think he killed anyone. Only consenting people. Yeah. I don't know much about Steve. Is Chris Wray, was he a serial killer? Chris Wray, I don't think so. A lot of people on this list were killed. Oh, yeah.

You've got Lennon, you've got Kirstie McCall in the Pogues. I don't know if she was in the Pogues, but she sang on that. You've got what's-his-name-and-run-DMC, Jam Master Jay. He got murdered in studio. Charlie Brown. Oh, yeah, he's dead. Yeah, he got massacred. Rest in peace.

That dog killed him. It's fucked up. What do you guys have for honorable mentions then all the Ramones are dead Beach Boys have a Charles Manson song right so that's kind of on the edges I already said mine

Easy E Merry Motherfucking Christmas was on there I have a lot what do you got Andrew throw them out there Darling Love Christmas Baby Please Come Home fantastic Christmas song I have Brenda Lee's Rock Around the Christmas Tree them out there i darling love christmas baby please come home fantastic christmas song uh

i have uh brenda lee's rock around the christmas tree uh frank sinatra's let it snow oh yeah uh what other otis redding's merry christmas baby fantastic oh yeah god that's a good one one i really considered but i i was on the fence about dmx's rudolph the red-nosed reindeer is way better than it should be um johnny cash's silent night bob dylan has a christmas song called must be santa and it's not it's the weirdest like you listen to it go like that wasn't great but then it gets fucking stuck in your head it's such an earworm um what else do i have uh we just has a christmas dirtbag song that they just released which is very odd that that's a thing that exists how is it just the lyrics changed it's uh completely yeah it's like a

parody song of teenage dirtbag but it's christmas themed oh it's very weird uh and i think that's it i think everyone else took the other picks i have nobody picked santa got run or grandma got run over by a reindeer that was the sequel yeah uh i have some different ones i got um bruce springsteen merry christmas baby is maybe one of the I got Bruce Springsteen, Merry Christmas Baby is maybe one of the only Bruce Springsteen songs that I like. Oh, really? Yeah. And I also have,

I didn't want to maybe put this on this playlist, but I do think everyone should go check out, Gucci Mane has some albums called East Atlanta Santa. Saint Brick Intro is what I really recommend. He's got an igloo full of snow and a white stove. He talks about how he's the Santa of East Atlanta. He's Santa Claus of the hood

and he's going to pull up to you and you're going to get murked. So that's what he's gonna pull up to you and you're gonna get murked so that's what he's bringing you every year Gucci Mane East Atlanta Santa albums are fantastic mixtapes are really good but Saint Brick intro is what I would recommend that's on my

that's on my mentions I've got a couple for my just stinker list just shitty wonderful Christmas time would be on there. Thanks, man. Great. A real turd. And I hate that It's Cold Outside duet song.

I think that's just a turd. And skip that as well. Just like, God, shut up. Amy. And let her leave, for Christ's sake you know It's interesting is in the original version of that the genders are reversed for like what you commonly think of The the woman right to a man to not leave yeah Interesting I didn't know that does that change anything for you Gavin?

I mean I think it changes a lot about the vibe, but I just genuinely don't like the song either I mean, I think it changes a lot about the vibe, but I just genuinely don't like the song either. Well, this is great. This is a great playlist. Jeff, are you going to make this playlist so that way we can share it out? Uh, yeah. Sounds like you're really excited about it. That's great, man.
