From 2016, please enjoy power pop wiseacres The Dollyrots and their fabulously punked out update of "All I Want for Christmas is You."
I am chastened to admit that I had never heard the Mariah Carey original of this -- which dates from 1994, and which has a delightfully Phil Spector Christmas Album vibe to it -- until two weeks ago. Hey, I slept through the 90s, what can I tell you.
In any case, this cover version impinged on my consciousness a few days ago when I heard it on a certain intertube radio station which also plays The Floor Models.
In the meantime, you can find out more about these delightful kids and their music over HERE.
Nice one, Steve!
ReplyDeleteI always recommend Sparks' Thank God It's Not Christmas... which, in addition to much of Sparks' early-70s sound, Queen ripped off, sans the smarts and humor.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
