Z's Music Corner - Christmas Edition

Marble Machine by Wintergatan
Swedish band Wintergatan became internet famous for this absurdly impressive and very groovy construction. I can't even imagine the work that goes into just coming up with the ideas for how it should work, much less building it.
This is probably not actually a Christmas song... But their name means Winter Street, and the glockenspiel reminds me of snow and Christmas.
I may be struggling a bit finding 25 Christmas songs which I can stand myself.

I read that he basically had one shot at this video and that the machine was falling apart while filming.

It's a pretty kicking tune.
 
I saw the title and thought of The Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera, but Burger.

Roasting, searing
Sweet intoxication
Juicy, spicy
Flavorful sensation
Let the dream begin
Let your darker side give in
To the power of this nocturnal delight
Now help me make the Burger of the Night
 
Jul på Vesterbro by Anden
Another more adult oriented (no not like that) Danish Christmas TV show. 'Christmas in Vesterbro' takes place almost exclusively in an apartment in Vesterbro, a sometimes rough neighborhood in the Danish capital. Every role is played by the Danish comedian Anders Matthesen who is known as Anden ('The Duck').

Every episode starts with a strange introduction from a scientist walking around a massive crater, finding the debris of things relevant to the episode. Once the show cuts to the apartment, it mostly starts with Uncle Stewart (white beard and sailor hat) wishing himself merry Christmas while opening his morning beer. During the show, Stewart's son Danny gets out of prison and has a fake pregnancy scare with his girlfriend Randi, social worker Arne has an affair with Stewart's unseen wife, and landlady Greta is always on the verge of throwing them out due to missing rent.

The final episode ends by Stewart accidentally blowing up the entirety of Copenhagen with a bomb built by a (now reformed) terrorist and his Russian arms dealer in Stewart's broken hotdog truck. He was just looking for some more sauerkraut.
