A collection of Christmas classics covered by queer folks

As we all prepare to turn on our collective Out Of Office, (the sheer festive joy) we have a gift for you in the form of Christmas songs covered by a delicious selection box of wonderful queer folk.

Featuring everyone from honourary lez/bi icon Robyn, to Canadian lez royalty KD Lang, right up to a brand new track from up-and-coming artist, SOAK, we invite you to fill your musical stockings

Robyn – Last Christmas 

One from Robyn – ever-treasured creator of the unofficial Lesbian National Anthem – it seems only right to kick off with uber gay Last Christmas (Playing #whammageddon? Sorry).

SOAK – Driving Home For Christmas

A brand-spankin’ track from 2018 favourite, SOAK, this one’s going straight on the Driving Home For Queermas playlist.

Tracy Chapman – O Holy Night

A bloody lovely cover of O Holy Night by the queen herself, Tracy Chapman.

KD Lang and Glee – You’re A Mean One, Mr Grinch

This one’s fun, eh? The cast of shiny US show Glee buddy up with KD Lang for this gleeful cover of You’re A Mean One, Mr Grinch.

Rae Morris & Lucy Rose – Merry Christmas Everyone

We interviewed the lovely Rae Morris earlier this year, so couldn’t possibly forget to include her and fellow singer-songwriter Lucy Rose’s cover of the Shakin’ Stevens classic. Pure joy.

The xx – Last Christmas

There’s no mistaking who this cover is by…  this version of Last Christmas is just so very The xx. Enjoy all of those breathy “once bitten and twice shy-ah-ays”.

Wham – Last Christmas

You just lost #whammageddon, OOPS. Still, we couldn’t finish off with the original, gayest-of-them-all Christmas classic. Now, pour yourself a large glass of Babycham and enjoy all of that perfectly fluffed 80s hair and frolicking in the snow with our George.

Merry Christmas
