Remember The Singing Dogs? It was a band made up of dogs, and all the songs were spliced-together dog barks. The group's Christmas song, "Jingle Bells," hit the top of Billboard's Christmas Singles chart in 1972. But don't be fooled—The Singing Dogs' Christmas album is far from the quirkiest piece of holiday music out there.
'Natty Christmas' by Jacob Miller Transport to Jamaica with this reggae Christmas album. The record became a Christmas classic, with lyrics like "We bring you an Irie Christmas" and lots of references to marijuana. Plus, most of the songs are set to traditional Christmas tunes, so everyone can easily sing along.
'Christmas' by Low Low built its reputation on the sad, melancholy sounds and lyrics that are the hallmark of slowcore music, and this Christmas album is no exception. The eight original and cover songs are minimalist, spare, achingly slow, or just a little creepy and odd. 'A Heavy Metal Christmas' by Christopher Lee Actor Christopher Lee was 90 when he released this two-song heavy metal EP. The classically trained singer loved heavy metal, and the EP, which includes "Little Drummer Boy" and "Silent Night," reflected his talent for the genre.
'Eban Schletter's Cosmic Christmas' by Eban Schletter Those who've never heard the sounds of a theremin can get their fill with this album, which is an electronic sensation and so popular it has a Facebook fan page. The album description says it all: "A military satellite finds itself in the midst of a musical 'transmission' which forces it to rethink its primary directive." What follows are electronic, synth, and theremin versions of holiday classics.
