"No Xmas For John Quays," The Fall (Cherry Red)

From 1978, the height of the British punk scene, this thrashy little number is about a junkie on the holiday (the title is probably a pun, according to some historians). But it's got a nice jumpy tempo, and if you like throwing the occasional turd in the holiday punchbowl, this song is a great way to do it. The Fall, as punk obsessives know, is the band that brought the late Mark E. Smith to prominence.
