A Twisted Christmas, Twisted Sister (Razor and Tie)

Oh, dear God. I suppose I should have seen this coming, what with We Wish You a Hairy Christmas coming out a couple of seasons ago. Give 'em credit, though, if you had to imagine Twisted Sister doing Christmas music, then you'd have imagined exactly this -- they haven't missed a beat from their heyday to this day. The opening gambit has the band members playing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" on acoustic guitars, only to have one of the guys do a takeoff on the old Tina Turner spoken bit from "Proud Mary": "We do everything nice ... and TWISTED!" Lita Ford stops in to duet with the band on "I'll Be Home For Christmas," and along the way they also beat "O Come All Ye Faithful," "Silver Bells," "Let It Snow," "Deck the Halls" and "The Christmas Song" into submission. Closest thing to an original idea on here is "Heavy Metal Christmas," done to the tune of "12 Days of Christmas." At the end, they wish us a Twisted Christmas, too, Bob Rivers notwithstanding. From 2006.
