'Santa Claws Is Coming To Town'

As we round the corner toward Christmas, I thought I'd spend the next few days posting some of my favorite metal and glam holiday tunes. Here's one by Alice Cooper "Santa Claws Is Coming To Town" from the album We Wish You a Metal Xmas and a Headbanging New Year.

We Wish You A Metal XMas...And A Headbanging New Year!

No Dead By X-Mas Hanoi rocks?!?

"Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" by Dokken (a part of Metalboy!'s glorious list) is my personal favorite. Where else do you get Santa slammed into Freddy, musically speaking?

Most oddly captivating and cringe-inducing? Yngwie's blessedly short acoustic rendition of "Jingle Bells." It sounds like he went down to the bayou and got nogged up and decided NOT to unleash the fury. And his goofy grin is so out of character.

Have a great Christmas Eve everyone!

Damn, Carson!

I’ve got that on Vinyl!

Putting on the playlist now!

Thanks and may you ...

Have a Rockin’ Christmas & A Very Metal New Year!
