So, missed the music post yesterday due to being way too excited about OMG BOSTON LEGAL THEY ACTUALLY WENT THERE OMG, the world is changing and I'm here to watch, omg.

Anyway, yesterday was the day to celebrate the Immaculate Conception, which means that Mary was pregnant either less than a month, or else exactly as long as Dana Scully was. Deep, deep significance there, surely.

So here's some less-than-immaculate Christmas songs:

Jessica Simpson - Baby It's Cold Outside.mp3
AKA, the Date Rape Christmas Song. I actually enjoy this cover, because it comes out about as skeezy as it ought to be, unlike when, say, Dean Martin sings it as if it's wholesome, which just gives me O John Ringo No shivers all over.
Governor's Musik - Rejoice O Daughter Of Zion.mp3
This is a selection from Handel's Messiah, off the Colonial Williamsburg Christmas CD. I am not generally overly enthusiastic about Handel's Messiah, but this gets to the point where she declaims "Behold, thy King cometh on to thee! " and I crack up every time.
Because I am deeply immature.
Neko Case - Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis.mp3
I also have a Tom Waits cover of this song, and it is very - strange - to hear a male voice singing it.
John Legend - Nutmeg.mp3
From the Colbert Christmas special. Did you know that nutmegs, like buckeyes, were sometimes used in African-American conjure ritual as a symbolic representive of black male testicles? Now you know! Knowing that makes this song *so much better*, I promise.
