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.
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.
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.
@@j.alexander4948 'Fairytale Of New York'-Kirsty MacColl and Pogues is one, 'Winter Song' as covered by Kim Wilde. There's 3 actually as I forgot Wham's 'Last Christmas'. Otherwise all the others are listenable but hokey, average or just awful.
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
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!
this song is so good i listen to it the whole year not just christmas. + found this song on at an h&m and still the best song i ever discovered through shazam 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.
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.
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?
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 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.
One of the most underrated songs of all time.

@@kyachdistent1301 the best Christmas records you can play at any time of the year they are that good.
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 feels like home.
To all the lost souls who finds comfort listening to this song; "Merry Christmas!"
*love and hugs.
❤
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
Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas to all those who are here & to the ones who couldn’t be here with us another year :(

Nice story. Good old days. Nice memories
that's awesome

This song is a masterpiece, the lyrics, the music, it makes me feel so good!
Ana Tapia same! Oh, same! I love it

This is not just a Christmas song - it's a work of art!!!!!!!
One may find me listening to this by the late autumn and early winter. Every year.
This song has such a nice vibe.
This song is gorgeous.
The joy of Christmas comes whenever I listen to it.
Probably the best Christmas song ever
for two days, this song is stuck inside my head,, and i cant stop myself hitting the replay button.. such a cool song
..I wish this song would never end.. so let's loop it 🎄🎄
"all the lights are coming on now...how I wish that it would snow now"
finally one christmas song which I like...
As alternative Christmas songs go..... this is the BEST!!!

One of my favourite Christmas songs :)
In my top 5 Christmas songs. I listen to this all year round.
My English teacher introduced me to this band last Christmas and I am infinitely grateful.
"I wish that I could stay" every Christmas for me!!
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
Holidays, 2024! Im watching Christmas with the Kranks! Love that goofy $h!t

This song just brings me joy and happiness, this is genuinely the best Christmas tune out there!
First heard this in a Christmas advert for Dobbies Garden Centre back in the late 2000s.💜🎶
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.
This is one of the few Christmas songs that I can listen to all year long. Perfect!
great song!!!! awesome guitar hooks! very well done , like old school 60's garage punk new wave rock .
you'd love shoegaze
Merry christmas Sune.. whereever you are..? 😘🎄🌎
The best Christmas song ❤
Best Christmas song in a very, very, very long time
RoAnn Rask yes, yes!

Hear, hear! I watched that episode and the musician in me made me find out what that song was. Kudos to whomever chose it. Good call.
Me too.
you are looking for a haunting christmas song, here you are. it is still a perfect tune
They should play this on Malls instead of All I want for Christmas over and over and over again.
Love this. Sounds very reminiscent of Everly Brothers 1960-61. My favourite Xmas song.
Christmas With the Kranks ❤😊
I love it... and I see raveonettes live in Athens they are amazing ... and i have 2 fender pick from Sune
winter is my favourite season and this song makes me nosthalgic about how much i love christmas and wish it would snow this year.
One of the best, if not the best, song about Christmas. When you listen, it makes you reflect. Nice melody...nice beat
Thank you Raveonettes for showing that Xmas is not just a crappy commercial holiday :) Some faith in Xmas has been restored...
BEST.XMAS
SONG.EVER
Mr. MR brought me here, because he knows music too well😉
Great song! Not just on Christmas.
Absolutely Love this Movie so does my Daughter every year
My fav Christmas song!
Sure makes me think about all those that we've lost, that I bet would wish to still be here this season.

Love that movie Christmas with the kranks
This song is great!
Absolutely the best Christmas song ever 😍
This shit really gets me in the Christmas spirit.
Nothing better than a Fender Jazzmaster through a Fender spring reverb.
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.
my favorite band. just ordered the b-sides vinyl. merry xmas to me!

It's perfect !!I love it so much!!!
I'm not sure what it is about it, but I like how it makes me sad and happy all at once. :) Makes me remember, makes me think.
Most underrated band.
