The other night I had the pleasure of listening to four different Barenaked Ladies Holiday songs quite a few times. I’m thrilled by BNL’s holiday songs because they’re slightly off the wall and they include Hannukah songs. In fact, I was about to edit my last post to include Barenaked for the Holidays among my list of favorite Christmas Albums.
Until I read the full track list. What the hell, BNL? Do They Know it’s Christmas? Have we learned nothing? But just for Rocketdog, they also include Wonderful Christmastime. Good times. I do, however, love Elf’s Lament.
By the way, head on over to AKA Chesty LaRue for another great review of our beloved insensitive Christmas song.
PS: I got to watch Elf last night, and now all is right with the world.
Keeping the Thor in Thorsday 
Thanks for the shout-out! For shame on BNL for including that wretched song. And I do apologize to Rocketdog, but I ADORE “Last Christmas.” Its the Wham! fan in me.

I’ll admit, I kind of want to hear their version in full… I feel as if they’re the only ones who could do Do They Know it’s Christmas justice. And by justice I mean dripping with irony.
