As promised, this set of 3 are Classic Rock Christmas tunes. I tried to choose songs that you have probably never heard of. Trust me... they are well worth listening to!

This first one is the most bizarre duet I can imagine. The artists are Bing Crosby and David Bowie (yes, you heard me rite) doing 'Little Drummer Boy'. It was done for Bings annual TV Christmas show (the last one before he died). Bowie was just getting started... his first TV appearance. As strange as the combo sounds like it would be, it's very classy! The dialog at the start speaks about the age difference (quite funny). You can see the video on YouTube and well worth the effort to see. There's a part where they do 2 different tunes in the round.

Hope You enjoy it as much as I do!

Here again is a strange one... it's 'Oh Come all Ye Faithull' by of all bands Twisted Sister! Who came up with this idea? Metal Christmas song?

OK... here we go!
