SPYKE DEGGNOGG CHRISTMAS IN YOUR FACE – Vol. 4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Spyke
Spyke Deggnogg CD – Christmas In Your Face Vol 4<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In December 2000, my evil twin, Loren Hill, presented me with an idea of covering \u201cLittle Drummer Boy\u201d that would break into a riff from Slayer. Make some copies and give them to friends and family as Christmas presents. I thought that he was mad, but it was a good idea. Since then we\u2019ve recorded a few songs each year for EP\u2019s. This year we decided to remaster all of the previous years and release a full length. So in this package is the culmination of 4 years of effort with 27 very talented people. A collection of 15 Christmas songs that ranges from beautiful to insane. Mostly covers, some original. Here\u2019s the play by play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Do You Hear What I Hear<\/strong>
\nTraditional. We call this the \u201cGodspell\u201d or \u201cABC After School Special\u201d arrangement<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Father Christmas<\/strong>
\nOriginally recorded by The Kinks. A slightly more punky version than the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Snow Miser<\/strong>
\nFrom \u201cThe Year Without Santa Clause\u201d animated Christmas special. Snow Miser was one of the two sons of Mother Nature. Performed ala Nathan Lane at a Disco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Heat Miser<\/strong>
\nAlso from \u201cThe Year Without Santa Clause\u201d Heat Miser was the feuding brother of Snow Miser. Performed by Haggis Rising!!!!!! Scotland\u2019s most obstinate rock band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. All That Christmas Means<\/strong>
\nAn absolutely stunning original Christmas song by David Newman. Simply beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Merry Christmas I Don\u2019t Want to Fight Anymore<\/strong>
\nOriginally recorded by the Ramones. Here in honor of the recent passing of Joey and Johnny Ramone. New B-52 adaptation unauthorized by the Ramones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Little Drummer Boi<\/strong>
\nTraditional. Here\u2019s where it all began. A swamp bayou version of the classic that works into a drum solo. Out of the solo we land into an acoustic version of Slayer\u2019s \u201cReign in Blood\u201d bridge riff to finish the song out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Silent Night<\/strong>
\nTraditional. Gorgeous ballad duet version of the tune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Happy Christmas (War is Over)<\/strong>
\nOriginally recorded by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Fortunately, our version is in tune!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Yoko Oh No<\/strong>
\nSelf explanatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Welcome Christmas (aka Abu Dorre)<\/strong>
\nFrom \u201cthe Grinch Who Stole Christmas\u201d animated Christmas special. This is the song that the Whos in Whoville sang. Ours is a vocal jazz arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. We\u2019re Gonna Have a Merry Christmas<\/strong>
\nAnother David Newman original. Upbeat and fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. Mikey\u2019s Christmas Carol<\/strong>
\nA Mike Healy Original. Everything was sung and played by Mike. A bit of a Beach Boys feel with a wry sense of humor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. I\u2019m A Christmas Tree<\/strong>
\nRecorded by Dr. Demento. This is a faithful rendition of the original. Best sung at top volume in front of your tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. Christmas With The Devil<\/strong>
\nRecorded by Spinal Tap. This Mangum Opus of Metal is Tap at its sarcastic best! First part is in its original form, the second part is in a dirgy \u201cType O Negative\u201d feel and the third part has a pop punk flair sung in Spanish!!!!! Epic! The keen ear will also catch the guitar riffs from \u201cSweet Emotion\u201d and \u201cWalk this Way\u201d by Aerosmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16. HIDDEN TRACK Merry Christmas I Don\u2019t Want To Fight Anymore (Mumble Mix)<\/strong>
\nSame as track six except that the vocal is Mark Moots interpretation the original Joey Ramone version, kinda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy! Merry Everything to Everyone and don\u2019t pass up the Spyke Deggnogg!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
