25 Days or Less of Christmas Songs - #13: Merry Xmas Everybody

If you were to hear Slade's "Merry Xmas Everybody" on its own (though I highly recommend watching the video, buddy's sideburns are epic), you might think, "oh wow, I didn't know Quiet Riot put out a Christmas song." And if you were to have that thought, you'd be wrong, but not that wrong. Quiet Riot got big in the '80s covering Slade's "Cum On Feel the Noize" and it would seem that they aped a lot of Slade's style in general. There's a pretty good chance though that you haven't heard this song, you haven't had that thought, and probably only ever think about Quiet Riot when you're flipping through the channels and you notice that VH1 is having one of those all '80s hair metal marathons.
