This will be my last post before Christmas so I thought I would resurrect a stupid idea from many years ago when I started to supply alternative lyrics to famous Christmas songs, ruining them completely.
The one I have chosen to vandalise this year is the old “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree”.
Why? Because I spotted it and immediately thought of proper rock music – or more accurately heavy metal.
I apologise to anybody who loves the song, or anyone who loves Brenda Lee.
Moshin’ around the Christmas tree
With a heavy metal song
Air guitar playing noisily
Grandma tells me this is wrong
Moshin’ around the Christmas tree
Turn the volume really loud
Later we’ll have a huge mince pie
And we’ll share it with the crowd
You will get a heavy metal feeling when you hear
Guitar, bass with drums and keyboard
Drink some beer, you’ll never feel bored
Moshing around the Christmas tree
Have a happy Christmas Day
Let’s start head banging merrily
In a new and noisy way

To be honest, I’m not the first to imagine traditional Christmas songs and add a touch of heavy metal to spice things up. Here are Megadeth having some fun:
And Motörhead:
And of course the Darkness:
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas.
