TNG s1e26 “The Neutral Zone” and explosion from s3e10 “The Defector”
Borg queen = Christmas queen? The pieces all fit!
All I want for assimilation is you!
I think if Alice Krige sang the song, I would be in love.
The My Chemical Romance cover of this song is quite good, perhaps better than the original.
I think my very long Christmas playlist with a mix of alternative and popular Christmas songs insulates me from hearing the original on repeat, and as a result, I don’t have as bitter of feelings towards it. I mean, it’s not my favorite, but I’ve heard much worse Christmas songs. It’s a lowest-common-denominator corporate pop anthem, but at least a well-executed one; as long as it’s not on repeat, I don’t mind hearing it once in a while.
AC/DC - Mistress for Christmas
Weird Al - The Night Santa Went Crazy
You’re welcome
Family Force 5 “Carol Of The Bells” is enjoyable in a weird ironic 2010 way
I know about “The Night Santa Went Crazy”, but the mass shooting sort of violence in it is not so funny anymore; I much prefer “Christmas At Ground Zero”. I’ll have to look into the AC/DC one, though.
Some of my favorites from my playlist:
- Jonathan Coulton and John Roderick’s banger Christmas album One Christmas At a Time, of which my favorites are “Christmas In Jail”, “One Christmas at a Time”, and “Christmas with You Is the Best”
- Also, Jonathan Coulton’s “Chiron Beta Prime”
- “Sad” and “CryptoSanta” by Lemon Demon
- “Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want to Fight)” by the Ramones
- Most of the stuff on “They Might Be Giants in Holidayland” EP is good; most of it is from earlier albums, but it’s a good collection of holiday stuff they’ve done. I’m just sad they’ve never released “We Just Go Nuts at Christmastime”.1
- Puddle’s Pity Party version of “I’ll Be Home For Christmas”, because it sounds like someone is sneaking up behind you to murder you.
- “Me and the Snowman” by Logan Whitehurst
1: There’s also a song called “Christmas Cards” never released outside of a 7" from 1993. “Christmas In the Bighouse” is not on streaming because it’s exclusive to the band’s shop; I own it on CD and in FLAC, but can’t put it on the playlist unfortunately because it’s in Apple Music and collaborative playlists can’t use personal library tracks.
This makes me almost want to create a shit ton of alts just so I can upvote this umpteen times.
