Bah, Humbug

Summer

The most wonderful time of the year often yields&nbsp;gifts more unexpected than a lump of coal in your stocking, namely outlandish Christmas music and bizarre Christmas carol covers. When Christmas carols get weird, weed is hung in place of mistletoe and Santa slides down more than just chimneys.&nbsp;As you inevitably tire of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-works-of-irving-berlin-playwright/reference">Irving Berlin classics</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CziCidR4KcY">Mariah's annual seasonal rebirth</a>, strange Christmas covers help to switch up the festivities,&nbsp;spiking your hot chocolate with a bit of eggnog. These curious&nbsp;carols pair well with your <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/christmas-ornament-fails/jacob-shelton">odd Christmas decorations</a>, letting you give Jesus the birthday turn-up that Christian tradition has&nbsp;for years unfairly denied him.With the increasing inclusion of more secular Christmas traditions, bizarre Christmas music takes you on journeys more appropriate to today's modern world. After all, finding yourself away in a manger feels much less relatable than being away in a mosh pit.Before you go asking yourself why such weird Christmas music exists, remember that people already listen to rather&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-13-most-horrifying-_classic_-christmas-songs-of-all-time/nicolebreanne">creepy Christmas music</a>, not to mention the "classic" album sung entirely by chipmunks. For a holiday celebrating a virgin birth and a flying fat man on a sleigh, weird Christmas carol covers honestly feel pretty appropriate.&nbsp;Well, more appropriate&nbsp;than said fat man chowing down on&nbsp;your family's milk and cookies.

Most Bizarre Christmas Covers And Collabs Ever

Song

Mick Jacobs

The history of &ldquo;Dominick&nbsp;the Donkey&rdquo; is steeped in rich Italian American history. While the novelty holiday song may not be as storied an example of Italian American culture&nbsp;as a good cannoli or <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/godfather-trivia/coy-jandreau" target="_blank">The Godfather</a>, there is no doubt&nbsp;the catchy jingle has carved itself a niche among loyal fans, especially those hailing from&nbsp;northern New Jersey.

Lou Monte, a native of Lyndhurst, NJ,&nbsp;originally&nbsp;recorded &ldquo;Dominick the Donkey&rdquo; in 1960. The song was initially popular among Italian Americans who lived in the Garden State.&nbsp;But it wasn&#39;t necessarily a radio hit until 2011, when, four decades after its original conception, producers at the BBC pushed&nbsp;a revival of the song.&nbsp;

&quot;Dominick&nbsp;the Donkey&quot; has a&nbsp;fascinating backstory that belies its charming lyrics, though, including the alleged rumor that &ldquo;Dominick&rdquo; was financed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/how-lemons-led-to-criminal-organizations/beth-elias" target="_blank">the mob</a>&nbsp;in the name of Italian American pride. Not familiar with the holiday earworm? Give it a chance and add &quot;Dominick&quot;&nbsp;to your <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/my-favorite-christmas-songs" target="_blank">favorite Christmas songs</a>&nbsp;mix. You may&nbsp;find yourself involuntarily singing, &ldquo;Hey, chingedy ching, hee haw, hee haw, it&#39;s Dominick, the donkey.&rdquo;

The holiday season seems to start earlier and earlier every year and&nbsp;at some retail outlets, Christmas decorations actually fight for shelf space against Halloween costumes.&nbsp;Mariah Carey's &quot;All I Want For Christmas Is You,&quot; may make you feel all warm and fuzzy right around Thanksgiving, but hearing it on repeat for four to six weeks might actually drive you insane.

How do you make an action movie persistently marketable for the rest of time? Set it during the Holidays! But wait: do&nbsp;Christmas and action movies really go together? Of course they do! There's nothing that says happy holidays like shooting a guy's face off and these action films set during Christmas deliver bodies, and action, like presents from Santa.&nbsp;What are the best Christmas action movies? Nothing says Christmas like a good shoot 'em up or crime thriller. These movies are the best of the Christmas movies that have nothing to do with Christmas genre. For most of these films they could have been set during any time of the year and they wouldn't have been affected a bit. Half the movies on this list are set in LA, almost entirely because a real Christmas&nbsp;movie in LA would be boring. No snow, no trees, no winter clothes?

These country songs about men celebrate all that is great – and not so great – about guys. The guys in these songs are family men, farming men, drinking men, fishing men, and cowboys. Some are in the dog house. Some are getting their hearts broken and hides busted by the women who love them.Plenty of country songs about guys praise hot dudes. Of course, that depends on your definition of “hot.” If a hard-working guy who punches the clock during the work week then celebrates by getting loose on Friday night fits the bill, you’ve got a lot of voting choices here. But a number of these country boys’ songs involve guys who’d happily clock out for good if they could, because all work and no play&nbsp;isn’t any fun at all.Some of the men in these country songs want to do better. Clint Black hammers this point home with “A Better Man,” and Brooks and Dunn sing of becoming a “Brand New Man” – in both cases, the men are made “better” by a good woman that they love.Vote these songs up if you think they’re the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-classic-country-songs/ranker-music?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best country songs</a> about hot men, and add any toe-tapping tunes that are missing.
