Redbone does a superior version of "Christmas Island", hands-down.

How'd ya like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?

How'd ya like to spend the holiday away across the sea?

How'd ya like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?

How'd ya like to hang a stocking on a great big coconut tree?

How'd ya like to stay up late, like the islanders do?

Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe.

If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island

You will never stray for everyday

Your Christmas dreams come true.

On Christmas Island your dreams come true.

I agree with bwynder (1 year ago) - can totally picture this playing at the end of a horror movie after everyone is dead......along with a montage of their unopened gifts, deserted tree etc....

How'd you like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island? Does the Pope poop in the woods, is a bear Catholic? Hell yes! For once, not in this frozen wasteland of NE Ohio. Someone, anyone adopt this frozen child!!Christmas Island - Leon Redbone

This is a much peppier version than the one on the Elf soundtrack. Nice.

*Holiday Song of the Day #2*I recently bought the soundtrack to the movie "Elf" (one of the funniest films ever made) so I will be posting a lot from that album. This song sounds like something from Spongebob Squarepants if you ask me! I think Leon Redbone plays the snowman in Elf but otherwise I know nothing. This song is certainly delightfully goofy and rather summery for a Christmas song.

The original might have been by Ernest Tubb in the 40s.
