Santa has a change of attire when visiting Australia

Originally I twittered the question of whether there were any Aussie Christmas carols anyone knew of (two replies about Rolf Harris and his song “6 White Boomers” – itunes link), and after starting to do a little bit of research it was clear it would need a blog post. Hence I present to you, a comprehensive list of songs available in iTunes that’s truly representative of an Aussie Christmas! Even if some of them are slightly bogan’ish.

1. 6 White Boomers – Rolf Harris
2. Aussie Jingle Bells – Bucko & Champs (there’s actually tons of versions of this song on iTunes)
3. 12 Days of Aussie Christmas – Bucko & Champs
4. Album called Aussie Christmas with Bucko & Champs by Bucko & Champs
5. A Very Merry Aussie Christmas – Ticklish Allsorts
6. Australians let us Barbecue – Bucko & Champs (had to mention this one – to the tune of the anthem)
7. Album called True Blue Aussie Christmas by Dimmer Twins

And that’s enough for me tonight! I must say, I was quite surprised…I actually didn’t think there would be that much but I was pleasantly surprised. Not that it converted into purchases or anything. I just can’t work out whether it means that there’s more “novelty” albums out there that I expected, or I’m just not up to par on the Christmas albums!
