Old Music Tuesdays Christmas: From First to Last “X12 Days of XXXmasX”

Can you believe Christmas is only ten days away? It’s inspired my choice for this week’s addition to the Christmas playlist. It’s a cover of the 12 Days of Christmas, but with original (punk rock) lyrics.

From First to Last is a post-hardcore/screamo band from Arizona. You might know them as the band that gave Skrillex his start. I’m not a huge fan of the band, but I do like a couple songs, including their punk metal cover of the 12 Days of Christmas, re-titled X12 Days of XXXMASX, because of course it is. Instead of swans a-swimming and geese a-laying, the band is given Hot Topic gift cards and vinyl. If you are currently or were ever a “scene kid,” you should get a kick out of this song.

The second Christmas song I’m sharing is an original called Christmassacre. This one doesn’t even sound like a Christmas song, but I’m sharing it because it’s brutal and I was inspired by the new horror comedy Krampus. Christmas is now about peace and joy, but it has some dark origins. Read some history if you don’t believe me!

I hope you enjoy the heavier side of Christmas, and I’ll be back next week with my last Christmas post for the year.

Lyrics

ALL I GOT THIS YEAR,
WAS THIS LOUSY HEAD TO TEAR
PRESENTS WRAPPED WITH GREED
TURN YOUR BACK AND WALK AWAY

MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMAS
Give it away!
MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMAS
Give it away!
MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMAS
Give it away!
MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMAS

Don’t forget your Christmas cheer
‘Cause Santa’s going to die this year
SANTA’S GOING TO DIE!
SANTA’S GOING TO DIE!
Pete Wentz plays in Fall Out Boy
Here’s his number, girls and boys:
847-40-0-48, 1 and 4.

You better call him, Pete from Fall Out Boy, you better call him.

ALL I WANT THIS YEAR
IS A MODEL AND A BEER
MY QUEEN WILL RULE YOU ALL.
FUCK THIS WORLD AND DECK THE HALLS.

Don’t forget your Christmas cheer
‘Cause Santa’s going to die this year
SANTA’S GOING TO DIE!
SANTA’S GOING TO DIE!
Pete Wentz plays in Fall Out Boy
Here’s his number, girls and boys:
847-40-0-48, 1 and 4.
