As opposed to uncannily weird, like waxworks Crosby and Bowie singing the same song.

I’m going to wait on this. I’m having a great year with the Little Drummer Boy Challenge.

Frankly, I’d have loved to see the eventual unboxing of Grace Jones in Bush’s Oval Office.

The entire premise of that song has always been kind of weird to begin with.

Grace Jones is a delightful Gesamtkunstwerk.

Love that warrior aesthetic Grace Jones was famous for in her Conan days. Hearing her sing Little Drummer Boy made me snicker as I remembered Kim Wayans in this In Living Color skit:

Harvey: UH, Grace, what do you like to do with your spare time?

Grace: I like to chew glass. I like to ride sharks, and bite the heads off of gummy bears!

Thats cool.

But no-one gets across that ‘Fuck you, it’s Christmas’ message better than Joan Jett…

Oh bother, no Billy Idol version. He’s got covers of most of the other standards though.
