What are your favorite musical antidotes to overplayed Christmas glurge?

I hadn't been thinking of it as that, specifically, but I recently dusted off Siouxsie & The Banshees' "Hyena" and have been listening to it a lot, and finding it stuck in my head more often than the more tedious holiday selections out and about lately, so let's go with that.

The least Christmassy winter song I know of:

"Winter Games". (I have fond memories of this from the opening of the 1988 Winter Olympics, which was a video me and my brother watched many times ... we had strange taste as kids.)
