"It's Gonna Be a Punk Rock Christmas," The Dead Boys (Cleopatra)

A serviceable cover of the punk-era Christmas classic from a serviceable imitation of original Akron punks the Dead Boys in 2025. Cheetah Chrome is the last remaining original member and original lead vocalist Stiv Bators passed away after a road accident in Paris some 35 years ago. Good for nostalgia but the original version is out there somewhere if you need this in your playlists. (Stereogum claims there was a move afoot to do some Dead Boys tunes with an AI version of Stiv Bators, but this isn't that; current vocalist Mark Thorn does the honors here.)
