In 1996, the "internet legend" of christmas shoes was forwarded to a memeber of the christian rock band NewSong. A song was written, and eventually, a music video followed — featuring Rob Lowe in a turtleneck!

In the early 90s, Kathie Lee's delusions of grandeur led her to film a hip hop Christmas special styled after Pee Wee's playhouse. A clip of Kathie Lee's Rock 'n Tots Cafe: A Christmas Giff after the jump.

Seems as though bands will do anything to make an extra buck these days. Enter Wayne Coyne, the LSD-addled singer of The Flaming Lips, with an offer we're more than happy to refuse: The Silver Trembling Fetus Christmas Ornament. Really.

Before the days of SexyBack, Lance Bass coming out, and Joey Fatone flooding airwaves hosting awful gameshows, there was a time when Boy Bands reigned supreme. Each had a christmas single — but not all of them co-starred Gary Coleman!

There's adorable, and there's talented. Then there's the adorably talented. Only a handful of children in the world can be crowned with the title of "Adorablented." This kid is one of the few.

CORRECTION: This post originally referenced the INXS Need You Tonight video, which was partly animatd. Clearly, A-Ha's "Take On Me" is the closer analogy. Gawker regrets the miscalibrated pop culture reference.

For real, Rastas believe all types of weird shit. Bob Marley thought the Emperor of Ethiopia was basically Jesus. That's crazy! Great music though. What have we learned? People who hold psycho political beliefs can make jammin-ass music. Surprise!

Day two of our celebration of cheese-tastic holiday songs is this little diddy made for the Scrooged soundtrack. If these two have so much love in their hearts, why isn't there a single shot of them together in this video?

Thumping beats and spiritual exultation: two great tastes that go great together. In this mash-up, excitedly dancing worshipers make a joyful noise unto the lord of the rave.

In honor of our holiday spirit, we're turning our daily Retro Jam into a celebration of the cheesiest Holiday videos ever made. First up is Hall & Oates' edition of Jingle Bell Rock. Believe it.

We are by no means experts, but in this battle it seems like this real-life fella who beat boxes while playing the flute definitely beats Anchorman's "yazz flute" performance by a longshot.

Music videos don't get much more 80's this. Watch the Egyptian Lover sing about his vices in this video featuring mummies, tombs, and hot egyptian babes.

Tiger Woods knows how to treat a lady right. Here's a sexy song to prove it.

Watch out, boy, she'll chew you up! Are these mustachio'ed men awesome or awesomely bad? We're leaning toward the latter.

Since Glee and High School Musical have made singing in groups socially acceptable once again. Here, we have a co-ed a cappella group performing The Lonely Island's SNL hit. We miss T-Pain.

These two birds channel Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell as they dance to the song ubiquitous with A Night at the Roxbury, "What is Love?"

She started the year with the now infamous giant ribboned hat and finished it off by performing "Joy to the World" in a giant fur headwrap. What could she bring to the world in 2010?

Seems like everyone is talking about the amazing new OK Go music video that was shot all in one take. No, not the one treadmill one. The other one. This is a really cool behind-the-scenes for this visual acid trip.

In 1987 pop singer Tiffany covered Tommy James & the Shondells' hit song, "I Think We're Alone Now." Malls across America rejoiced- proof of which can be seen in the following video.
