5. Lou Reed - Xmas In February & Tom Waits - Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis
http://youtu.be/fC7iq9qhgds http://youtu.be/mxVo5mjK4eg "Hey, hey, you can't include two separate songs by two separate artists for one listing, that's cheating." All right, listen... The reason I'm writing about these two songs in the same space is that neither of them can truly be considered Christmas songs: Tom Waits' song just happens to occur at Christmas and Lou Reed's is all about the Vietnam war, but hey... Is this a list of unconventional Christmas songs or is this a list of unconventional Christmas songs? And it doesn't get much more unconventional than two Christmas songs that have nothing to do with Christmas!
