Christmas Music… with a twist

Happy Christmas or anything else you are celebrating. Here are a couple of tunes with a twist to get you into the holiday spirit.

The Hives joined up with Cyndi Lauper a few years back to release what is the ultimate anti-Christmas anthem. It works a treat although Miss Lauper‘s transition from just a girl who just wants to have fun to “going down on your mother” is pretty extreme. I blame The Hives.

Before Braille are an Arizona band that unleashed a string of amazing releases in the middle of the 00’s. Remaining largely under the radar “Merry Christmas, I’m Cheating” showcases frontman David Jensen‘s knack for a melody and sharp lyrical wit.
