(THE THIRD OF THREE SPECIAL CHRISTMAS EPISODES!) First up,
The Polyphonic Spree cover
John Lennon's Christmas classic "Happy Christmas (the War is Over)" from
Maybe This Christmas Tree (
Amazon,
iTunes doesn't have this particular song, but they have the album). Then 80's favorites
The Waitresses with their lyrically delightful christmas hit "Christmas Wrapping" from their best of (
Amazon,
iTunes). Then
Sufjan Stevens did "O Holy Night" from his internet pseudo-release
Christmas which offered eight Christmas songs free of charge (
check it!). After that the classic version of
Kay Starr doing "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" became the "Stuhr Remix" on the groovaliciously good album
Christmas Remixed - Holiday Classics Re-Grooved (
Amazon,
iTunes). And finally
E (aka
The Eels) did his totally unfindable version of "Everything's Gonna Be Cool This Christmas" which only appeared on a radio promo for his crappy song "Shine it All On." Later he released a different (worse) version of it on the
Eels'
Cancer for a Cure EP. Since you pretty much can't find this version elsewhere, you can
download it from me as a nice 192k MP3. Merry Christmas everybody... and Happy Holidays in general.
