This index lists the essential songs (not all the songs) contained on the albums reviewed in Hip Christmas, plus singles, album tracks, or one-hit wonders not otherwise included on those albums. Whenever
possible, the artist's name is linked to my review of the best Christmas album (not necessarily
the only or original album) on which to find the song.
Barring that, the names will be linked to a place where you may buy the song
(usually Amazon).
If there's no link, it means that, to my knowledge, the song is not available
on CD or MP3. Of course, the list will expand as I write more reviews. And, nothing's
perfect - especially me and my crazy list. Please send additions, corrections,
criticisms, and suggestions via email

Throw Down (Blondie, 1982) [close]
This funky rarity features Freddie - as in Fab Five Freddie, the rapper
name-checked by Debbie Harry on Blondie's 1981 #1 hit single, "Rapture." Initially,
Deb is dubious, deeming Fred as "too skinny" to be Santa Claus, but
she soon relents, joining him in a spirited rap anchored by the slinky "Rapture" backbeat. Amusing, though it lacks "Raptures pinpoint focus. Now hilariously scarce, "Yuletide
Throw Down" was originally released on a bright red, green, and blue flexidiscs included with the January,
1982 issue of Flexipop! Magazine, a short-lived British new wave rag. The song
was also compiled on the promo-only LP, , but it has never been issued on any commercially-available
album. A lifetime or two later, Blondie cut another Christmas single, "We Three Kings" (2009), as a free download - also hard-to-find.
