This index lists the essential songs (not all the songs) contained on the albums reviewed in Hip Christmas, plus singles, album tracks, or one-hit wonders not otherwise included on those albums. Whenever
possible, the artist's name is linked to my review of the best Christmas album (not necessarily
the only or original album) on which to find the song.
Barring that, the names will be linked to a place where you may buy the song
(usually Amazon).
If there's no link, it means that, to my knowledge, the song is not available
on CD or MP3. Of course, the list will expand as I write more reviews. And, nothing's
perfect - especially me and my crazy list. Please send additions, corrections,
criticisms, and suggestions via email.

Christmas (The
Wedding Present, 1992) [close]
 In 1992, these English indie popsters undertook to release
a new 7-inch vinyl single on the first Monday of every
month. The a-sides were original songs, while the b-sides
consisted entirely of eclectic covers. The twelfth and
final single was a Christmas record pressed on red vinyl
- "No Christmas" backed with a rendition of
Elton John's "Step Into Christmas." Later,
all 24 songs from the series were compiled on two CD's, Hit
Parade 1 (1992) and Hit
Parade 2 (1993), the latter of which contains both
sides of the Christmas single. "Step Into Christmas"
had been previously included on A
Lump Of Coal (1991).

Presents For Christmas (King
Diamond , 1985) [close]
 Oddly, this operatically-gifted screamer (and Satan worshipper)
chose to record a Christmas song as his solo debut after
leaving death metal icons Mercyful Fate. The result,
"No Presents For Christmas," is almost as hilarious
as it is excruciating. The song was originally released
as a 12-inch single in two different covers - one incongruously
traditional ( click
here), the other fittingly irreverent (pictured right).
Later, the song was compiled on The
Dark Sides (1988), an odds 'n' sods collection; included
as a bonus track on the 1997 CD reissue of King Diamond's
first full-length LP, Fatal
Portrait (1986); and featured on The
Best Of King Diamond (2003). "No Presents For
Christmas" was also covered in 2000 by grindcore
masters Exhumed on a King
Diamond tribute album, then included on Exhumed's
own odds 'n' sods album, Platters
That Splatter, in 2004
