Crazy Christmas Mix: Strange Bedfellows

Christmas is a time for family, sharing, and spreading yule-tide cheer with your odd-couple co-singer. Here's a special mix compiled by Len Marry (thanks Len!)

* Porn Orchard's tune was included because it's often circulated as "Peter Murphy and Tom Waits" (strange bedfellows indeed!) but was in fact by Porn Orchard and the Opal Foxx Quartet for a 1993 compilation by the Athens, GA magazine, Flagpole's "The Mother of All Flagpole Christmas Albums". The impressions are top notch. Curtiss Pernice played the part of Tom Waits and Ted Hafer did Peter Murphy (of Bauhaus). - source

Check out a video of John Lennon's classic holiday hit "Happy Christmas" after the jump

If you have a great Christmas song (that not everybody has heard) email it to me at tips AT podbop DOT org.

Update I found an Ozzy Osbourne and Jessice Simpson duet on the 'tube, posted after the jump

John Lennon - Happy Christmas (War Is Over)

Ozzy Osbourne & Jessica Simpson - Winter Wonderland

I'll never forget when I first saw that Bing and Bowie performance. It was intense. I wonder how they would do with this one:

This is a great blog post. I loved the videos and was also surprised that the song link I posted generated such an overwhelming response in terms of the number of downloads. That tells me that your visitors would also enjoy hearing new stuff by indie artists like myself. Here are a couple more links:

Does anyone know the name of the Christmas song by Debbie Harry/Blondie? It is a rap style song (sort of similar to Rapture). I heard it recently and would like buy it but can't locate it anywhere.

Thanks so much.

Oh yeah, I know about them Kasio Kristmas boyz, I recorded at their studio.

Kasio Kristmas is actually pretty amazing. Have you heard their remix of a Radiohead song? It's getting a lot of buzz because they only used casio's and it sounds amazing.
