Songs For Christmas XI

There's obviously more Christmas stuff out this year than I had realised, though the UK singles chart is full of old product. Anyway, Japanese-New York band Asobi Seksu have just issued a cover of the Ramones' Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight), so I thought I would post that, along with the Ramones' original, and aanother version done by Joey Ramone later on.

Ramones -'Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight).' mp3

Joey Ramone -'Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight).' mp3

Asobi Seksu -'Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight).' mp3

Enjoy folks. And don't forget to drop by tomorrow for more...
