Lozz196 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 If punk, do A Merry Jingle by The Greedies, which were a mixup of The Sex Pistols & Thin Lizzy.

seashell Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 We are attempting to do Run Run Rudolph by Chuck Berry and Merry Christmas I Dont Want to Fight by the Ramones. That is if Vox and Guitar can actually learn them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Alternatively, there are songs such as "hang the pope'/nuclear assault, or 'no presents for Xmas' /king diamond. Snowman by the anti nowhere league Might have to get that twisted sister Xmas DVD from the loft , now that I've read this thread . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
