We somehow managed to leave Billy Idol’s upcoming Happy Holidays off of our Xmas Album Buyer’s Guide. Sorry, Generation X fans! But we’ll make it up to you by sharing this clip of Idol’s take on an Irving Berlin chestnut. It’s fun to see how Billy’s creepy Rebel sneer is even creepier when he’s doing his best Bing Crosby.

More WTF at IdolSpace. (via BWE)

  1. This is horrid. I think Bill Idol is struggling to do his best Billy Idol. Poor man is stuck in self-parody.

    This is great!

    Bill Idol is doing his best!

    It’s totally not parody!

  5. Don’t you think he looks a bit like Schwarzenegger?

    Is that what living too long in LA does to you?

    Not as monumentally, hilariously awful as Twisted Sister’s Christmas stuff.

    I am disappointed in you, Billy Idol. Where’s the Cyberpunk of Christmas albums?
