Some non-traditional Christmas tunes

[lumineaux]

Metal version of "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" by a local NJ band, the Whirling Dervishes:

And another NJ band, Spiraling, doing "Do You Hear What I Hear" to the tune of "Baba O'Reilly"

The Brian Setzer Orchestra does its own unique take on the Nutcracker Suite (the video is lousy, just listen to the music):

The Bob Rivers parody, "I am Santa Claus"

And Bob Rivers' equally immortal "Jingle Hells Bells" (this one audio only)

One last Bob Rivers bit, "O Little Town of Bethelehem" done to the tune of "House of the Rising Sun" (audio only)

Re: "O Little Town of Bethlehem" + "House of the Rising Sun" -

I think I like that combination better than either of the two songs that comprise it!

I've misplaced my Bob River's Twisted Christmas CD. Or, possibly, the lovely wife has hidden it on me. :-)

Nice icon. :)

I believe the entire CD is now downloadable. ;-)

For. The. WIN.

I heart that Do You Hear Baba o'Reilly, truly.

Good Lord, I can't believe how much time has passed since you posted this. Anyway, just *had* to come back and offer eternal thanks for the "I Am Santa Claus" link!
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Good Night!
