MERRY HEAVY METAL NIGHTMARE BEFORE DIX-MAS! TWISTED SISTER 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS SPOOF SONG LYRICS, HOHNER MELODICA PIPER.
Merry Dix-mas! Happy Nightmare Before XXXmas! The Adventure Team made an impromptu pit stop at one of my favorite music stores in the world: Amoeba Records on Sunset Boulevard in LA. The indie music mecca has a vast used selection, $1 vinyls and cassettes, and a hilarious “Death Metal” section in the back left (those bands have some of the most ai-yah names on the planet!). Ementhy picked up a certain gem known as Twisted Sister’s Twisted Christmas, which is exactly what you’d expect. An R-rated headbanger’s twist on your favorite Yuletide carols. The best track is Heavy Metal Christmas — come scream along with us!
On my heavy metal Christmas my true love gave to me,
Twelve silver crosses
Eleven black mascaras
Ten pairs of platforms
Nine tattered t-shirts
Eight pentagrams
Seven leather jackets
Six cans of hairspray
Five skull earrings
Four quarts of Jack
Three studded belts
Two pairs of spandex pants
And a tattoo of Ozzy!
And a bonus gift for you: three Lemons piping on a Hohner melodica! Preferrably wrapped up all snug in my bed, while visions of… ermmm… dance in our heads.
Another bonus: Basil Farrow, his grandma (Mia Farrow) and mommy (La Carmina) are featured in Mediabistro’s publishing industry blog Galleycat.
MERRY HEAVY METAL NIGHTMARE BEFORE DIX-MAS, DARKLINGS!!
Song of the Day #269: Twisted Sister – Heavy Metal Christmas (The Twelve Days of Christmas) (We were blasting this as we drove to Hyaena Gallery — and Bill is a fan of the album too!)

Basil Farrow is not a cat; he is a stuffed doll. My Scottish Fold loves to be squished him all day long. He’s never scratched or bitten anyone!
Are you on vacation at the moment? I’ve been working hard for CNNGo…
† Customized luggage: how to stand out in the baggage carousel. (I talk about my Jack Skellington suitcase; you know, the one Basil Farrow loves to sit on.)
† 7 affordable last minute getaways: where and how to escape from Asia’s main cities. (I interviewed Yukiro Dravarious for the article! He climbed Mount Takao in style, as you can see in the above photo. The article made it onto CNN Travel’s main page, woo!)
† Sorry Santa, December isn’t all about you. (A photo article: religious and folk festivals in Asia, such as running through flames and scaring kids with masks.)
All of my CNNGo articles to date can be found here. Still need a last-minute Xmas gift? Hmm there are my J-pop books, Tokyo Theme Restaurants + Cute Yummy Time… hey, gotta pay for Basil Farrow’s caviar!
How are you celebrating the Nightmare Before Xmas? I’m thrilled that the Sherlock Holmes movie is getting thumbs ups reviews — I’ll be first in line at the theater tomorrow.
Song of the Day #268: Japan – Swing (An 80s band that should be better known.)
