Mr. Cheese totally trumps Mr. Michael in this version. In the album literature, he even lists the original artist of “Last Xmas” as Bonus Track. Ouch. But not to worry; Mr. Christmas picks up the slack in providing us with a really fun lounge version. Mr. Cheese’s holiday spank and Mr. Christmas’ pronunciation of “special” earn them the Magical Snowflake Award for Day 5.

You can find the rest of Richard Cheese’s “Silent Nightclub” at amazon.com, and Lars Christmas on itunes in the oddly non-holiday “Tributes” CD.

I guess it just goes to show the unifying power of “Last Christmas.” Sarge try to rock it, in a Sarge-y way. Big ups for trying something new with the time signature. Also, for keeping the line “a man undercover.” Often, a female singer means the line changes to “a girl undercover.”

This comes off their post-break up release, Distant (still available on amazon.com).




I suppose technically this next one is just James Dean Bradfield, but at any rate this is from a performance on TFI Friday (Thank Flapjacks It’s Friday?) found on their “Lipstick Traces” B-sides and covers album also at amazon.com. Hey look! The video for it is below.
