hmmmmm, interesting 8)
Okay, im gonna give a before and after comment here. I hate Christmas and especially Christmas songs but i (mostly) like Melvins so im unsure how i will feel about this one. If it's in the ballpark of 'Take Me Out To The Ball Game' or something it'll be one of the worst Melvins songs yet. But if it's a spooky awesome cover like 'Dies Irae' i'll love it! Right, let's listen!
....ah that wasn't too bad actually. Better than i expected anyway. Seems like the kind of thing that would be the lead-in into a heavy tune or something on a regular Melvins album. I wonder who's on bass? For some reason i imagine the BB boys are on this.
It reminds me a little bit of "Electric Flower".

Yes!!! You are right. I knew it reminded me of a Melvins song but i couldn't think which. The beginning of the song recalls something else too. Something from TBSM i think.

Near the ending of "My Generation" just before the final melody starts.

I was Just singing My Generation this morning (The way the melvins sing it with a Nerdy lisp instead of a stutter) 8)
i can stomach the first 23 seconds...great effort/not my bag.
Gimme some mellow Melvins X-mas cheer w/ my tea.
Oh this is good
Anybody else get a bit of a Nightmare Before Christmas vibe from this?
That said it isn't bad at all but I can't see it fitting on any real Melvins album.
the single most torturous Christmas song ever written now with PUNCH. nice job MELVINS.
It sound ballbustingly good, not unexpected!

If they'd do a Christmas album, I'd be playing it all month. This song has always been a tad bit creepy but I think the Melvins made it even more creepy. Love it.
I think maybe it refers 08 ATP Nightmare Before Christmas performance.
Well Black Santa maybe. Toy has a bit of a Christmas vibe but nothing explicit.
"The title of this thread intrigues me - have the Melvins made a Christmas song before im not aware of??"
It was a reference to Eggnog. I was drunk.
I was thinking the song Toy myself with the jingling bells in it.
Haven't been in the holiday spirit much for many years. This made me ready to go hang with my family for a week
Not being at work for a week sounds like heaven on earth. Bring on the holidaze!
Hearing this one again today made me think it would be cool if Melvins recorded a whole Xmas covers album!! It seems like something they would actually do too. I know a few artists have done so previously and it would be funny (and fun!) to see what Melvins would do with it.

It's a good song, but maybe just an EP with some original Christmas style songs too, like that Low EP that came out a long time ago.
