While there's always room for another go round of 'Chestnuts Roasting on the Open Fire,' Nat King Cole-style, we're happy to hear some new and interesting takes on Christmas classics.
So in the Spirit of a South Park Christmas (aka Jesus vs. Frosty), welcome to the non-inaugural Christmas Cage match between Floridian rock goddesses CASSADEE POPE of Hey Monday and SIERRA KUSTERBECK of VersaEmerge.
In this corner from West Palm Beach, FL, Ms Pope weighs in with a scintillating version of "Oh, Holy Night":
"Oh, Holy Night" will be on a 4-song HEY MONDAY CHRISTMAS EP releasing December 6, which will also contain an original Holiday song called "Without You," another called "Mixtape for Christmas" and a b-side from Beneath It All entitled "Shafted".
And in this corner, from St. Petersburg, FL (which, by the way, once soaked up a Guinness-certified 768 straight days of sunshine), Ms Kusterbeck seduces St Nick with a sinisterly sultry SANTA BABY:
SANTA BABY will be released as a digital single on December 20th.
Hopefully, VE will soon release an official version of their gnarly version of "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch":
Tough call on the Christmas cage match but looks as if the highly impartial judges have declared a technical sunshine state knockout on behalf of both versions rendering a split decision.
Guess a coin coated in bronzer will get flipped to decide the winner whom will go on to battle the victor of the fight night undercard of Jesus versus St. Nicholas:
Here's some bite-sized bark to nibble on while immersing oneself in the glory of Christmas forevermore:
Saint Nicholas, also called Nikolaos of Myra, was a historic 4th-century saint and Greek Bishop of Myra. Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known as Nikolaos the Wonderworker.
He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, such as putting coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him, and thus became the model for Santa Claus, whose modern name comes from the Dutch Sinterklaas.
Mmmm..."Sierra Sinterklaas" evokes a sumptuous syncopation of versa. Imagining it emanating from the thorax of the Lorax, its supple symbiotic syntax makes the mind's eye relax.
Ms Sinterklaas shares her resolutions and deranged DREAMZ for 2012...
