On the Wicked Words podcast, I talk with the writers who dig deep into the cases that changed history, including Marsha Clark, who went from prosecuting one of the most famous murder cases to writing crime fiction. It doesn't matter that you didn't take part in the murder. If you were at the scene at all, you're guilty of murder. Every week, the real story is revealed. Join us every Monday for new episodes of Wicked Words. Listen to Wicked Words on the IHeart Radio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, Discos, need a little more disgrace land in your life? Just a touch to get you through? Yeah, me too. This is the podcast that comes after the podcast. Welcome to Disgraceland, the After Party. Welcome to the disgrace land bonus episode. A little thing we like to call the after party.

This is the show after the show, The Party After the Party, the Bridge to get you from one full episode of Disgraceland to the other, the backyard to dig into the dirt. Our mission to uncover the truth, to confront the myth, to reclaim the story on this bonus episode, we are discussing your favorite non-traditional Christmas songs, and we're making a great Christmas mix

along with our conversation. In the exclusive portion, we're going to get into band in obscene Christmas tunes. What's up below fly? We get into your emails, comments, DMs, and as always, a whole lot of rosy. This is the podcast for the musically obsessed. The outsiders, the independent thinkers, you know that the best history is the history that gets buried. Disgraceland is where I tell the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else.

All right, Discos, let's get into it. Man, you guys love non-traditional Christmas songs. That was our question of the week last week here in the after party. And that was our question on social media. And we were flooded with responses from you guys, both over the phone and the comments on Patreon. So we're going to do something a little different this week. We're going to dedicate most, if not, all of this episode to your responses and try to build a kick-ass non-traditional Christmas mix. So let's get right into it, all right?

Some of the non-traditional Christmas songs I suggested were Christmas must be tonight by the band, which I talked about last week in the after party. and it was kind of the impetus for this whole conversation. I also mentioned on social, I mentioned Winterman by Clarence Reed. This song, I can't recommend this song highly enough. It's incredible. All right, but anyways, let's get into some of your recommendations.

And the goal here is to sort of informally throw a bunch of wrecks into the mix, a bunch of songs, and then call them down into a side one and a side two track listing for you guys. and we can put a little mix together. We can share on Spotify and wherever else. All right.

So let's get right into it. Gooseberg on Instagram recommended Christmas was better in the 80s by the Futureheads. Futureheads are a great modern-ish-Uk band, who we've talked about before. This song does not disappoint. It's fantastic. Check it out. Christmas was better in the 80s by the Futureheads. Eli Ordez on Patreon suggested, God rest you merry gentlemen by Black

Sabbath, Marani James Dio, and Tony Iommi, which I had no idea existed. This is deliciously weird and totally worthy of your time. And this is going on the mix. 2,000 miles by Pretenders was recommended by a couple of you. I really love this song. And it seems like I forget about it every year. So thank you guys for calling it out. Jackie over in the Patreon chat brought up another tune that I never, ever think,

to listen to during the holidays. but it's a tremendous non-traditional Christmas song. And that's Christmas card to a hooker in Minneapolis by Tom Waits. Man, the electric piano sound in this song, I just, I love it. I love it. It just makes me feel like the 1970s are swallowing me up. Charlie, I'm pregnant, living on 9th Street above a dirty bookstore on Euclid Avenue, and I stopped taking dope and quit taking whiskey.

My old man plays a trombone and works out at the track. He says that he loves it. me even though it's not his baby. He says that he'll raise him up like he would his own son. And he gave me a ring that was worn by his mother. And he takes me out dancing every Saturday night. God, what lyrics, huh? This isn't a song, guys. This is a movie, all right? And it's a movie that I want to see on Christmas. Christmas card to a hooker in Minneapolis by Tom Waits. And while we're talking about Tom Waits, the Tom Waits and Shane McGowan in Elvis Costello's story that's in our mini episode this week is an incredible slice of weird music history.

You've got to be an all-access member to check that out. So go to disgracelandpod.com to sign out for exclusive content like the mini episodes that were released pretty much every week.

that you guys can gift to others. You can give the gift of Disgraceland in an all-access membership. So check that out at disgracelandpod.com. Back to our mix, fairy tale of New York by this week's full episode subject, The Pogues, goes without saying that this is on our playlist. M. Vaughan, 2013 to 2015 on Instagram, recommends Sufion Stevens put the lights on the tree. This song is fantastic. And I just got to say, I hope I'm pronouncing Sufion Stevens correctly.

I don't think I am, but I don't care to go to Google and look it up. I just, you know, Sufion, if you're listening, know that I'm pimping out your five-disk Christmas album, man, okay? Five dis. And it's damn good, fantastic. And M. Vaughn, 2013, 2015 is not the only one who thinks so. Received a bunch of recommendations for songs from Sufion Stevens' five-disc Christmas album and put the lights on the tree is the one that I'm going with. Okay.

Heather the Yinzer on Patreon recommends Careless Santa by the great Lincoln Sudbury High School band. They Might Be Giants. This song gets special consideration, not only because these dudes are from Massachusetts, but because it's got a heavy crime element to it as well. And I didn't know about this tune, not at all. But I did know about Horatio Sands in Julian Casablanca. I don't care what your mama says. Christmas time is here.

And I'm throwing that one into the mix. And now we've got 10 songs for our side one, all right? We just ripped through 10 there pretty quickly. And we haven't yet mentioned, not even one, banned Christmas song or potentially banned Christmas or sense. Christmas song. This is a weird list. People get uptight about Christmas songs, man, whether it's seemingly innocuous tune, like it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, or I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, or perhaps something a little more explicit from the likes

of EZE or Blowfly even. We're going to be talking about some of our more innocuous Christmas songs that were banned or censored for music history. And we're going to give you a list of those tunes. You know, we'll add some others too that I don't want to say are worthy of being censored, but there's a list of absolutely filthy Christmas songs that are not only risque, but they're kind of hilarious. And we're going to get into these as well. And also going to talk about the new viral deep fake Ella Fitzgerald's so-called band Christmas song that's going to show up in your feed today, don't doubt, as you're scrolling the gram and TikTok. All that's coming in the exclusive section of today's afterparty. Go to disgraceandpod.com to sign up and become a disgrace and all

access member to get in on this conversation. All right. Speaking of Christmas songs that should be banned, we've got Miss All I Want for Christmas, Mariah Carey coming up in the rewind slot tomorrow, and then next week when Christmas finally gets here on Tuesday, not that Christmas is on Tuesday, but on Tuesday in the disgrace land feed, we're going to be celebrating by playing Russian roulette with Johnny Ace and none other than Elvis Presley, the king himself. So don't miss those episodes. Next, after this break, we're going to get into your voicemails. in your texts, in your emails, and we're going to figure outside two

of our non-traditional Christmas list. Don't go anywhere. Back after this. There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends,

Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed.

I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This season on Dear Chelsea with me, Chelsea Handler, we have some fantastic guests like Amelia Clark. When like young people come up to me and they want to be an actor or whatever. My first thing is always, can you think of anything else that you can do?

Rather be disappointed in. Do that. Dennis Leary. I wake up and I'm hitting him in the head with a water bomb. And Bruce Jenner is on the aisle in a karate stance like he's about to attack me. They're like, making karate noises. And his entire the Kardashian family over there, everybody's going, and the air marshal is trying to grab my arms and screaming.

And I immediately know that I've been asleep walking. David O'Yellowo. I love this podcast, whether it's therapy or relationships or religion or sex or addiction or you just go straight for the guts. Guy Branham. So anyway, Nicole Kidman broke up with Keith Thurban. Being half of a country couple was always a hat she was going to wear, not like a life she was going to lead. Oh, interesting.

I like that. Did you practice that on your way over? Gaten Matarazzo from Stranger Things. Tena Monsu. Camilla Morone, Carrie Kenny Silver, and more. Listen to these episodes of Dear Chelsea on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, guys, we are back. Last segment, I mentioned our L.

Elvis Presley, Johnny Ace episode. And I wanted to mention that a couple days ago, I went on to the excellent podcast, ridiculous history and talk to my guys, Noel and Ben, about the Johnny Ace story. That episode is available wherever you get your podcast. So check that out. Pledge of My Love, the Johnny Ace song deserves to go on our list for sure.

It is unintentionally Christmas. And that's what happens when you accidentally shoot yourself in the head on Christmas at the same exact time you release your new single. That single becomes an unintentional Christmas. song, all right? So Pledge of My Love, the song by Johnny Ace and the Elvis Presley cover, the subject of next week's disgrace land episode. Both versions have made our Christmas mix. And just for the record, I found a great copy of Johnny Ace's memorial album, the record featuring Pledging My Love that was released after his death. I was up in Boston last weekend,

visited Stereo Jacks in Somerville. And damn, man, anyone from Boston, Somerville, Cambridge, you want to know what a great record store is. Go to Stereo Jacks in Somerville. And I don't mean, I'm not going by a vibe, though the vibe is great. I'm going by just the collection, the volume, what's available. My goodness, it's tremendous. I spent an obscene amount of money. Now, granted, I bought a ton of records for Christmas gifts. So that's, I only bought, I bought, like, I bought the Johnny Ace record for myself, bought myself an old Boston, Boston Rock Christmas compilation with SSD

and the Del Fuego's on it, which I didn't know existed. And I got this fantastic Dave Bruebeck Christmas album from 1996 that I had no idea existed. Matt Bowden, you've got to check this out. You probably already have it. If you guys are into jazz and you want to hear like, really unique, unique takes on, on traditional Christmas songs.

This Brubeck double album of Christmas jams from 1996, I think it's just called the Dave Brubach Christmas, is great. I got that at Stereo Jacks as well. And then I just bought a bunch of blues records for my stepdad and a bunch of soul and R&B records for my mom, got my godson something, got my godmother something, got a bunch of stuff. But just stereo jacks.

If you haven't been in a while, if you just remember the sign from Mass Ave and Cambridge between Harvard and Porter Square, and you're like, yeah, I know that place. That sounds familiar. And you think you know what it is. You don't know. Like, go, go.

It has so much. It's incredible. Check it out. All right. Let's check out your, let's get to some voicemails and calls here. 617-90666-36-38. The call was put out last week on,

we were talking about the band. Must be Christmas tonight. Christmas must be tonight. We're talking on non-traditional Christmas songs. And you guys got back to me, full-throated. Let's hear from the 206. Jake, hey, what's going on? It's Tony from the 206.

I'm going to go ahead and get right to answer your question. What my favorite Christmas song is. I actually have two that are fighting for the number one spot. And not just of my favorite Christmas song, but arguably the most obscure Christmas song, meaning you've got to dive deep to find. these. A casual Christmas music listener, nine times

by ten, hasn't heard these. But the first one is, thank God it's Christmas by Queen, which is a phenomenal song. The second one was actually a B-side by the artist himself. Prince is called Another Lonely Christmas, which in my opinion is kind of

his version of Blue Christmas if you listen to it. So I'm going to issue a challenge, my brother. I want you to listen to both those songs, and hopefully give me your thoughts. on them when you do your bonus episode this week. I'd love to hear your thoughts on both those songs if you have or if you haven't heard them. And then also one more thing I wanted to say, if Mariah Carey is the queen of Christmas,

I think it's only right we give George Michael the title of King. Every year we hear last Christmas. So I think it's only right. All right, brother, well, listen, Merry Christmas. Happy holidays to you and yours. Stay safe out there and stay warm. Rock and roll. Tony, two great recommendations here.

Of the two, I'd heard the queen one, never heard the Prince one, went and checked it. I love the Prince thing here. It's fantastic. It's just weird enough for Prince and just weird enough, I think, to not be a hit. But it's great, and I love it, and it's going on the mix. We'll put both of them on the mix. 412 text in. Let's read this one here.

I want to read the whole thing here, not just the recommendation. 412 writes in, hey, probably the best monologue yet. made the most amazing Christmas song of decades. My favorite cover of the McGowan fairy tale of New York is in a very Murray Christmas, the late Great Buster, David. He's talking about David Johansson and the annoyingly lovable Paul. Good job, bro. Okay, so yeah, very Murray Christmas is fantastic, and the David Johansson stuff is especially great in that movie. So hold on. Someone else recommended Does David Johansson? Yeah, David Johansson cover I saw the light in that, the Rudgren tune.

I believe someone else recommended that to us. That's kind of an unintentional Christmas song, but I like it. I like it. So both are going on the mix. All right, let's check out the text here I wrote down from the 309. Jake, it's Ryan from the 309, and I don't have a topic, but in lieu of Christmas season, there's a Christmas song, I'm not sure you're going to know of it, but it's by Blink 182, and it's off their take off your pants and jacket album.

The song is called Happy Holidays, you bastard. Give it a listen. Happy holidays, Jake and the rest of the double Elvis family. I am familiar with the song, and I love it. We can put that on the mix as well, a little blink 182. Shout out Tom DeLong. Shout out to all the aliens out there, all the extraterrestrials, all the ultra-terrestrials.

Happy holidays, guys. I know you're watching and listening. 971, Texan. Hey, Jake, Jeff here from Oregon. and this may be late, but a great, very unknown Christmas album that I love is Chet Baker's masterpiece, Silent Nights. All that I know is that it was released in 1986. It isn't available on Spotify due to some licensing nonsense. And it sounds like a cry for help or drug money. That sounds like Chet Baker, crying for help and drug money. Some songs feel rushed and scattered,

and others are coated in that sugary, thick, bourbon-esque Chet Baker feel. In other words, it's fantastic. Good luck for you. finding a copy though. Merry Christmas, Jake. Well, you know, maybe I can find it at, uh, at stereo jacks. Feels like the type of record they'd have there. 971. Thanks for the recommendation. Appreciate it. 907 text in, hey, Jake, here's another Christmas song that is not on most people's radar. Emmanuel, you're one of us by Ren Collective featuring Ellie Holcomb. It came out in 2020 as part of a compilation album called a Jolly Irish Christmas Volume 2. It stopped me in my tracks when I heard it. I thought of it when you told us about Christmas must be tonight during the last

after party episode. This is Lisa from the 907. Lisa from the 907, thanks very much. Great recommendation. I'm going to throw that one on the list here. 775 writes in and reminds us of the Squirrel Nut Zipper song Johnny Ace Christmas. We know what that's in reference to you guys. All right. So it looks like we need two more to give us a total of 10 more songs for Side B. Let's go to the old email machine. This one from Squableness. Scott Ward, who writes in Jake, you magnificent bastard. My choice is one you mentioned in the recent Merle Haggard episode. If we make it through December, yes, it appeared on Hags Christmas album,

but the single was released in October and country radio played it year round back during Hags' heyday. That's my choice. Thanks for what you do. I'm asking for a subscription as a gift this season. Love that, Scott Ward. We will see you in the exclusive section of the after party and in the Patreon chat. And yeah, of course, Hags.

if we make it through December is going on the list. Craig Cannon emails us. Craig says, hey, good day, mate. Thank you from Australia for such a great podcast. I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but we'd like to add again an Aussie's favorite, Paul Kelly's How to Make Gravy. It's very Australian and well worth the mention

from across the other side of the world. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Or should I say Merry Sifflis and a happy gonorrhea. Craig. Well, well put there at the end, Craig. Yeah, I love this Paul Kelly tune. It was brought to my attention a couple years ago by our Australian listeners. Might have just been last year.

Fairly recently. Great song. And absolutely going on the mix. Paul Kelly's How to Make Gravy. 617-906-66-6638 voicemail and text at disgracelampod.com. Hit me on the social. It's disgracelampot. com to email me.

What I'd like for you guys to think about this week is, you know, this is great. I love the non-traditional Christmas music, but we got one more week of content here before Christmas. And we're going to get into the after party next week, which I think falls on Christmas Day. Is that right? Or is it the day after Christmas. Let's see here.

Thursday is, no, Christmas Day. Christmas Day after party. So what I want to talk about is unintentional Christmas song. Somebody last week mentioned God only knows by the Beach Boys as an unintentional Christmas song. and I can get with that. I can also get with the Johnny Ace Pledge of My Love. And there's probably about 10 others we can get to or 20.

There's a ton. Just as diehard is an unintentional Christmas movie. Just as Goodfellas is an unintentional Christmas movie. What are some unintentional Christmas or holiday songs? 617-906-66-3638 voicemail and text at Disgraceampod on socials. Disgraceampot at gmail.com. email to hit me up with your answers. Now, I will be back right after this with the track listing for this new mix of non-traditional

Christmas songs, this playlist that we're making here. And I'll have information on where you can find this playlist and where you can listen to it. Back after this. There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And Rule 2, never mess with her friends either. We always say that, trust your girlfriends.

I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends... Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no.

I vowed I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. This season on Dear Chelsea, with me, Chelsea Handler, we have some fantastic guests like Amelia Clark. When, like, young people come up to me and they want to be an actor or whatever. My first thing is always, can you think of anything else that you can do?

Rather be disappointed in. Do that. Dennis Leary. I wake up and I'm hitting him in the head with a water bomb. And Bruce Jenner is on the aisle in a karate stance like he's about to attack me. Like making karate noises. And his entire the Kardashian family over there, everybody's going. And the air marshal is trying to grab my arms and screaming.

I immediately know that I've been asleep walking. David O'Yellowo. I love this podcast, whether it's therapy or relationships or religious. or sex or addiction or you just go straight for the guts. Guy Branham. So anyway, Nicole Kimman broke up with Keith Thurban. Being half of a country couple was always a hat she was going to wear, not like a life she was going to lead.

Oh, interesting. I like that. Did you practice that on your way over? Gaten Matarazzo from Stranger Things. Tena, Monjou, Camilla Morone, Carrie Kenny Silver, and more. Listen to these episodes of Dear Child I'll see on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right.

Thanks to everybody who submitted songs. We've got 20 songs now, and here's how I'm sequencing them for our new mix, entitled A Non-Tradish Christmas in Disgraced Land, Side One. We're going to kick it off with Fairy Tale of New York by the Pogs. Then we're going to lean into another lonely Christmas by Prince, straight into 2,000 miles by the Pretenders. From there, we head down under to How to Make Gravy with Paul Kelly. Christmas was better in the 80s by the future heads.

Put the lights on the tree by Sufion Stevens. A Christmas treat by Julian Casablancus. Johnny Yase Christmas by Squirrel Nut Zippers. And then we end Side 1 with Pledging My Love by Johnny Yase. All right, that's a hell of a side one of non-traditional Christmas songs. Side 2. Leading off in the number one spot. taking us all the way home, the band with Christmas Must Be tonight. Next up, Winterman by Clarence

Reid, straight into Christmas card to a hooker in Minneapolis by Tom Waits, careless Santa by they might be giants. I saw the light, Todd Rungren, thank God it's Christmas by Queen, God resty, merry gentleman, Dio, Ronnie James Dio, that is, in Tony Iommi. Into Emmanuel, you're one of us, Renn Collective and Ellie Hocom, if we make it through December by Merle Haggard, and we end our mix with the king himself, his cover of Johnny Aces, pledging my love. All right, this mix is done. It's up. I'll post a link to the playlist on our Patreon, or you can just follow Disgraceland Pod on Spotify, and you can cop it there. I'll probably get it up on Instagram as well. But again, Patreon, if you really want to dive in.

dead clapton was nothing in 1990 yeah i mean the lamest you know like my friend's dads like Derek clapped. You know what I mean? It was that whole, we joke about this, but it's that whole divorce rock era. It really is. What's that?

Oh shit. What was that record he had out? It was super slick. No, that's not the one. It's promises. He is a song, promises.

I love that shit now. That's the thing. No, I do too. Hold on, but he had a, he had this incredible divorce rock record out at that time. Journeyman came out in 1989. Journeyman had

pretending, running on faith, bad love, no alibis. this was like the super slick AOR Eric Clapton, which sort of made him super lame. Yeah, I think the I shot the sheriff stuff is like 1980, 1981, that's okay, and then it's bad. And then he has a Scorsese rise again with color of money. Which is also lame. I was like, this is like a fucking Miller-like commercial. I hate this.

Well, I know, but that's what makes that movie so great. It's like the Phil Collins saw on that movie as well. Like it makes that it's of that time, you know? Yeah. Yeah, color of money is, it's. It's essential. It's amazing. Essential?

Really? Yeah, it's essential. It's essential. It's essential. It's essential. Scorsesee. Yes. Yeah.

It's, you know, Tom Cruise could have done nothing after that. And we would have been like, Tom Cruise is fucking the man. He's amazing in that. He's incredible. All that's real. The whole thing. We're getting on track with Vince. And just the fact that he's playing, we don't have to go in the weeds about this,

but he's playing, Paul Newman. thinks he's playing Tom Cruise and Tom Cruise has been playing Paul New in the whole movie. It's just awesome. It is so good. It's so damn good. All right. That is this film should be played loud.

You could understand if somebody wanted to ban.

I'm never for banning or censoring anything. But anyhow, we're going to get into all this. Some of it's maddening and frustrating and some of it is hysterical. And as always, I have some fun with my man, Zeth here. That's coming up right now. All right, welcome back. We're about to land this plane. Before we do, I should mention that we talked about Ronnie James Dio and we talked about Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath. And there is a Black Sabbath episode in the archive for you to check out right now. Also, we talked about Tom Waits. We don't have a Tom Waits episode. We mentioned Tom Waits because we're talking about Christmas car from Hooker, Minneapolis. But there's this great Tom Waits story involves Elvis Costello and Shane McGowan that's part of our mini episode from this week. And you're going to want to hear that. I got to get out of here.
