Already fed up with sweater themed Christmas songs like these? Well, too bad because we ain't finished yet and there are even more sweatery things coming up!
Starting off with this singer going under the weird name Johnny's Turtleneck Jamboree. He's doing a strong alt-rock track with tempo changes and build up to the end. Johnny sits at home alone on the couch, intensively hating his ex but with her ugly Christmas sweater still on, the only thing that can keep him warm despite everything.
Ronnie Costley was already done with it in 2012. He have had every shape and size and colour too. So no more sweaters, he just wants all her hugs and kisses for Christmas. Aah, such a sweet country-esque song.
Dunno exactely what to think of these pre-woke and obstinate lyrics, but they come from a good heart, I guess. It sounds like it was recorded live five months ago, a quite cool acoustic track and sung in a nice, raw way. So never mind the lyrics, here’s Bender!
Santa Guuz spotted this one earlier in 2020 at the blog, but it can't be ignored in this list. Indie at its best at the Ugly Xmas Sweater Party by Girlhouse.
And now for something completely different. Artists and music like Wengie's are certainly not in the majority on the blog. But sometimes a voice, a beat, a sound just gives you that irresistible 'je ne sais quoi' feeling and then you're at it. Wengie that is, sweet as candy canes.
This one by Beartown Zodiac is actually out of competition, because it isn't about sweaters at all, but it was recorded "to raise money for this year's Christmas Jumper Day for Save the Children" in 2013. So that means a green card. Also just a really good Christmas song by the way.
Lou Quillis all Star Banned is completely on topic with this crappy recorded Christmas jumper lo-fi track. It might not be the best advertisement for a Christmas jumper, but a remarkable one though.
A passionate indictment of the Christmas sweater written by singer songwriter Jen Hajj, after receiving an invite to an ugly christmas sweater party. She ain't wearing it, no way.
Back in 2008, Irishtoothache recorded their Christmas album 'Everything But The Christmas Sink', on which they also shed light on Christmas clothes.
We're temporarily closing this sweater theme list now and go out with a blast and loud guitars from Publicity Stunt. But be warned: there's more to come!
Oh, and for all you fashionistas out there, here's some information on the history of the infamous ugly christmas sweater.
