Back in 1980 a product was created to combat your holiday blues. Remove from cellophane and commence your road to recovery.
This is easily one of the best punk Christmas albums you could ever purchase, a lively combination of punk rock attitude and profane humor. The Yobs are a Christmas side band of the London punks The Boys. A great mix of twisted versions of Christmas favorites and their own twisted Yuletide originals. A wonderful flaming bag of poop for a stocking stuffer.
I did not realize how incomplete my life was until I purchased this album. Sing along to the wonderful sentiments of XMAS Guantanamera. Sitting in front of a warm fire listening to Tommy The Christmas Tree. Baking Christmas cookies to the Stonesy parody Who Had All The Christmas Cake? (note: Can't always get what you want intro is missing from video below) Screaming out C.H.R.I.S.T.M.A.S/Gloria as you carol around the neighborhood with your mutant friends. Holidays don't get better than this, do they?
In addition, you have Oy Santa, a song that taught me the true meaning of Christmas--make sure you stay on your feet while opening Christmas presents in a moshpit. What is Christmas without the Worm Song, or Rub A Dub Dum? The punked out German version of Stille Nacht and their totally crude rendition of the 12 Days of Christmas? The album concludes with a soccer chant version of Auld Lang Syne. This album is all you need to celebrate a traditional sacrilegious holiday season. Very funny stuff indeed.
