It’s a Nice Day for a White Christmas

Having been a teenager in the 1980s and in a Billy Idol cover band back in high school, I have had more than a passing interest in the punk-turned-pop rocker’s work — at least until that album with the dreadful cover of the Doors’ L.A. Woman. For reasons that I myself do not completely understand, I’m pleased that he’s got a new album coming out: a Christmas album!

Here’s a track listing for the album:

  • Frosty the Snowman
  • Silver Bells
  • Happy Holidays
  • Merry Christmas Baby
  • White Christmas
  • Here Comes Santa Claus
  • God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
  • Santa Claus Is Back In Town
  • Let It Snow
  • Winter Wonderland
  • Run Rudolph Run
  • Blue Christmas
  • Jingle Bell Rock
  • Christmas Love
  • Oh Christmas Tree
  • Silent Night
  • Auld Lang Syne

If you want to sample some of his Christmas tunes, go to Billy’s MySpace page. There, you’ll find gems such as the video for his rendition of White Christmas, pictured below:

You’ll aslo find the video of Jingle Bell Rock, pictured below.

I believe that the track Christmas Love is an original of Billy’s. It’s nothing special, but it’s still miles better than AC/DC’s Mistress for Christmas.

Damn it, I think I’m actually going to order it on Amazon right now.

  • I seem to remember back when he was big, there was a Saturday Night Live parody of Billy Idol where the guy playing him sang a song called "Forties' Voice, Eighties' Face" to the tune of "Eyes Without a Face", about he was basically just a crooner dressed like a punk rocker. Guess they were right!

  • Jesus this might just kick Boney M's Christmas album out of my CD player over the holidays this year! Thanks for the tip! I never would have expected it.
