In the sense it's a Christmas based song, yes. Otherwise, it has to get in a long line after all those great 80s underrated killers, and even some from the decades following, though not usually from acts AFTER the 80s, everything being so bad since the 90s and onwards.
Well, the only way a song about Christmas can actually be good as opposed to sloppy, sappy, cloying and icky is to be alternative, that's the whole point I'd say, Name me an actual good Christmas song beyond 2 obvious ones.
I haven’t heard this song in at least a decade. Takes me back to being a senior in high school, just walking around the school talking to my girlfriend at the time a few days before christmas. She introduced me to this song and gave me a burned cd which, in my young love, I listened to on repeat all Christmas break. The last couple of seconds really hit hard and it brings back all those raw adolescent feelings where you thought your love was invincible. Things didn’t work out as they often dont at that age and I haven’t thought of her in years but this song will always take me back to those cold nights walking with my heart thumping, so excited, so happy and young and in love or whatever you think love is at 17. To be young again 😞
Your story brought tears to my eyes as I listened to this song, I, myself was taken back to school and young love that I thought would last forever, but didn't. I never completely got over that first love , and this song and your comment brought back beautiful memories. Thank you.
Such an emotionally packed Christmas song. Im a very Macho Guy,....yet....it brings me near to Tears, when ever I hear it. It's Christmas, it's Romantic, it's Warm and Cozy, and It's just a very Magical piece of music. The Guitar Hooks are ingenious. When ever any song, can make you emotional.....you know....that it is a Master Piece of sound and lyrics. Their voices, their lyrics and their unique sound, could Crush even the Hearts of the Grinch or that of Scrooge. Pass me a Kleenex! lol LOVE IT!
Used to hear this shit every day working at Bobs Furniture Store in Bridgeport, CT as a temp during the holiday season back as a freshman in college. Hated it then but it’s magical now lol
I took a chance on watching Christmas with the Kranks and was utterly disappointed only to discover the first 3 minutes of the movie played this awesome song.
I’d never heard of the Ravonettes before or this song. I was watching the 11th Hour with Brian Williams just now, and, at the end of his show, he said he wanted to give thanks and credit to the incredible crew that produced his show each night, and urged his viewers to watch as the credits rolled. So they showed skaters at Rockefeller Center while the credits rolled against the backdrop of this song. At the end he thanked everyone for watching and thanked the Ravonettes for the use of their song. A very classy act on his part and a great song to add for the season.
This song is one of the greatest song s about Christmas ,, even if some people Think s the movie sucks on IMDB , which i am against because the movie rocks its one of the Best Christmas movies in the history, Christmas with the Kranks , its even Fun after serious many times watching i cant get enough of the movie , Jamie Lee Curtis youre the Best in hat movie ... even here in Denmark where i am from this movie just takes me floating away to Santa s caravan
The Raveonettes are heavily influenced by music from the 50s and 60s especially The Everly Brothers mixing it with noise pop, garage rock. Also heavily influenced by a great band called The Jesus and Mary Chain
Greatest Christmas Song written in our generation. Takes me back to and reminds of listening to The Ventures Christmas albums growing up. Never understood why Surf Guitar pairs so well with christmas music. But its awesome!
This song is too good to be limited to Christmas only. EDIT: Makes perfect listening for Labor Day 2020. Anybody else making their 2020 Christmas list yet?
This song is an age finder. Could not be one teenagers today who wouldn't vomit. But WE KNOW BEST! Well, some of us are "open" to listening to the "Music of the Ancients" from times when life was pretty dumb and simple.
Sure makes me think about all those that we've lost, that I bet would wish to still be here this season. Maybe, if we do things right, next lap around the sun, there won't be so many that had to depart before they wanted to. Play safe out there this season. Maybe there won't be so many candles needlessly blown out. Love each other. Take care for those in positions where they cannot. Sincerely, and in good tidings, Reverend Duey Ramone.
One of the most underrated songs of all time.

So far, this is the coolest song about Christmas.
why say like this
xg1027 I completely agree. !
theres way better songs than that, even in the movie with the kranks
Yassss! 🎄🎆🎄
That's not hard. When's a song about Christmas ever been cool, apart from 1 0r 2 usually ignored/forgotten types?
This song is a masterpiece, the lyrics, the music, it makes me feel so good!
Ana Tapia same! Oh, same! I love it
This song has such a 50-60s throwback song. It is the best thing about the movie The Kranks. It almost makes me cry.
It samples a classic 60s song
This song has such a nice vibe.
This is not just a Christmas song - it's a work of art!!!!!!!
As alternative Christmas songs go..... this is the BEST!!!
Well, the only way a song about Christmas can actually be good as opposed to sloppy, sappy, cloying and icky is to be alternative, that's the whole point I'd say, Name me an actual good Christmas song beyond 2 obvious ones.
I discovered this song watching Christmas With the Kranks. I can't get it out of my head. Thank you!!! 🎄🎄

Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas to all those who are here & to the ones who couldn’t be here with us another year :(
This song is gorgeous.
The joy of Christmas comes whenever I listen to it.

Nice story. Good old days. Nice memories

"I wish that I could stay" every Christmas for me!!

One of my favourite Christmas songs :)
Love this. Sounds very reminiscent of Everly Brothers 1960-61. My favourite Xmas song.
only bad thing in this song is...
it's too short

In my top 5 Christmas songs. I listen to this all year round.
This song just brings me joy and happiness, this is genuinely the best Christmas tune out there!
Best Christmas song in a very, very, very long time
RoAnn Rask yes, yes!
This shit really gets me in the Christmas spirit.
great song!!!! awesome guitar hooks! very well done , like old school 60's garage punk new wave rock .
you'd love shoegaze
Christmas With the Kranks brought me here xD but the song itself is amazing
Me too...funny that!
Laniehollandstudios that is the best Christmas soundtrack from the worst Christmas movie.

Play it at 0.5x speed and it will go for 4:39 minutes.
I adore this song. Rip Lenny xxxxxxx
My English teacher introduced me to this band last Christmas and I am infinitely grateful.
Used to hear this shit every day working at Bobs Furniture Store in Bridgeport, CT as a temp during the holiday season back as a freshman in college. Hated it then but it’s magical now lol
The best Christmas song ❤
2023, xmas time with Raveonettes. ❤
They should play this on Malls instead of All I want for Christmas over and over and over again.
Christmas with the Kranks, anyone?

Cheech Marin, Dan Aykroyd and the great Tom Poston.

First heard this in a Christmas advert for Dobbies Garden Centre back in the late 2000s.💜🎶
you are looking for a haunting christmas song, here you are. it is still a perfect tune
This is one of the few Christmas songs that I can listen to all year long. Perfect!
I took a chance on watching Christmas with the Kranks and was utterly disappointed only to discover the first 3 minutes of the movie played this awesome song.
Love modern music that sound like oldies!
Merry christmas Sune.. whereever you are..? 😘🎄🌎
My fav Christmas song!
That guitar tho....... why does this song have to be soo short? :/
couse everything good is short and timless
Jordan Bartholme ikr!!
Try their "Love in a trashcan". Being longer is not it's only feature ;)
킵온러닝
@@reuireuiop0 I see why you recommended that one, thanks!
You might enjoy "Boy" by Ra Ra Riot too =]
Mr. MR brought me here, because he knows music too well😉
Great song! Not just on Christmas.
Seeing that lighter "gun" must have freaked out all the lefties. Love the song which I, too, discovered watching Christmas With the Kranks. Beautiful.
I work at Banana Republic and I hear this song about 10 times a day. It's the only one that keeps me sane. That's what brought me here.
BEST.XMAS
SONG.EVER

Thank you Raveonettes for showing that Xmas is not just a crappy commercial holiday :) Some faith in Xmas has been restored...

This song is an age finder. Could not be one teenagers today who wouldn't vomit. But WE KNOW BEST! Well, some of us are "open" to listening to the "Music of the Ancients" from times when life was pretty dumb and simple.
The best Christmas song ever !!!!!!
Sure makes me think about all those that we've lost, that I bet would wish to still be here this season.
Maybe, if we do things right, next lap around the sun, there won't be so many that had to depart before they wanted to.
Play safe out there this season.
Maybe there won't be so many candles needlessly blown out.
Love each other.
Take care for those in positions where they cannot.
