BIRTHDAY
SUMMER
CHRISTMAS!!!
5) KATE NASH - "Early Christmas Present"
Who can resist a slice of the Nash? Whats more, who can resist this twinkly number, with it's hand claps and sad tale of a naughty boyfriend sung to a sweet, catchy melody. No one does it quite like Kate.
4) JULIAN CASABLANCAS - "Wish It Was Christmas Today"
It may not be The Strokes Christmas song, but this is the next best thing. Starting with the classic sleigh bells and soon descending into a rocking celebration of Christmas in the U.S. It's also refreshing to hear Julian's trademark croon wrapped around words of festivity instead of cryptic love songs. But hey, gotta love them too.
3) BEST COAST FT. WAVVES - "Got Something For You"
This song is truly a special one; the two sweet hearts of the beach singing side by side about having a secret Christmas present for one another. "AWWWW" inducing.
2) BLINK 182 - "I Won't Be Home For Christmas"
Blink 182's trade mark sound transforms Christmas into a time of grabbing baseball bats and being annoyed by everyone at Christmas. But despite this song being a bit of a scrooge, it's so darn catchy and danceable that you won't mind. You may spill your eggnog doing the pogo to it though. Maybe.
1) THE KILLERS - "Don't Shoot Me Santa"
The Killers release a Christmas song every year, which is great, most bands don't bother. But with "Don't Shoot Me Santa" they reached their Christmas song writing peek. This song has loads of different sections, including a conversation between Brandon and Father Christmas. It's got a belter of a chorus and it's full of imagination and Christmas fun. Watch the video to get it's full effect. Nice one.
