what do you cover for christmas?

[steve-bbb]

Sooooo

what do you lovely basschatterers cover for christmas?

last year we did fairytale of new york but frankly who doesnt?

this year we will also do the Mary J Blige arrangement of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

[casapete]

Last few years we've done 'Please come home for Christmas' (Charles Brown/Eagles/BonJovi).
I've done 'Run Rudolph run' (Chuck/Keef) too, little known but fits our band/audience well.

[PaulWarning]

fairytale in new york, don't you need a male and female singer for that?, to do it justice anyway.
We're doing Slade this year, although I quite like doing Gary Glitter's another rock and roll christmas, at least you don't hear it a lot on the radio lol

[Urban Bassman]

Done Slade in the past - nice bass line

[PaulWarning]

oh yeah, we also do Anti Nowhere League's I Hate People, but change People for Christmas, bah humbug

Slade, Wizzard, Mud & Shaky!

[Dave_the_bass]

We did a, verging on death, metal arrangement of Frosty th Snowman. It went down really well. We were also working on a similar style arrangement of walking in the air.

Link fixed.

[Oopsdabassist]

Wizzard, and that's all! I love Slade but I ain't doin that song!!

[Bassmonkey]

Wizard. Goes down a storm.

[gary mac]

At last nights gig we stuck the Slade one in during the encores. I enjoy that bass line.

A couple of weeks back we rehearsed a mash up of Wizard and Slade, so that will be getting an outing over the next few weeks.

I love this song. My 'entry level' band did it last Xmas, at my suggestion. I' ll draw a veil over how well we succeeded. Lets just say it was not a triumph :-(

But they still sing songs about it...


Shelley the red faced bassist
Had some very dodgy notes
And if you ever heard them
You would even say 'oh no'
