I know, I said that was Bruce. And, it was Bruce, until last year......
Last year I was watching Leno at holiday time. Twisted Sister was his musical guest. Right there, my mind was a little stretched since one doesn't usually see Twisted Sister on Leno. I wasn't particularly interested since I'm not really a Twisted Sister kinda chick, right?
They came out, they came out to sing "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" (!).... they played....and.....after I *picked up the pieces* of my *blown mind*, I watched the clip over and over. Made the husband watch it. Made the kids watch it. Their minds too were blown.
It's frickin' awesome.
Just bought it on iTunes to add it to our holiday mix we're blasting while cleaning, cooking and decorating. I've got them mixed in with Nat King Cole, Jimmy Durante, Burl Ives, Josh Groban, Bruce Springsteen, John Lennon, Paul McCartney.....
"Oh Come All Ye Faithful", Twisted Sister video. Honestly, and swear to god, I really think this IS the best Christmas song of all time.
Buy it. Download it. Turn it way up. The louder it is, the better it is. (FWIW, I don't think this video does full justice to the song. The visual is cute, but distracting. The power is in the music and the beat.)

My own fave is the Waitress's Christmas Rapping.
I'd forgotten about this one, though - good find, E.
Okie. I must go find that now.
Thanks!
That song made me smile for the first time in months.
Thank you!
Woot! I love Twisted Sister! Thanks for this find...sigh
Quite a lot late now, but have you heard the rest of the album?
A friend of mine played it for me, and it was awesome. I've been trying to track it down.
Hey Greaser -
No, you aren't the one who's late. Christmas is still on my freakin' first page 'cause of that four month break in posting I took!
Have not heard the album. Would love to. Next Christmas. (Which would be any day now, wouldn't it, as fast as life is going.)
hugs, E
