Di dischi natalizi qui se ne sono visti un po’ di tutti i colori, ma nessuno può eguagliare la perfezione di “Another Rock And Roll Christmas”.Gary Glitter negli anni ’70 è stato un fottuto genio pop con una serie di singoli killer da mettere in riga chiunque: “Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)”, “Hello Hello I’m Back Again”, “Rock And Roll (Part 1 & 2)” e la mia preferita “I’m The Leader Of The Gang (I Am)”.
Negli anni ’80 la sua stella non era più così brillante come nella decade precedente, ma ecco che il nostro in meno di 4 minuti, non solo riesce a risollevare la sua carriera, ma soprattutto ci regala un nuovo classico da cantare e ballare.
“Another Rock And Roll Christmas” è un gioiellino pop praticamente perfetto: ritmo r’n’r incalzante, liriche spensierate e positive, arrangiamenti giustamente a tema, ma mai troppo invadenti e soprattutto un ritornello perfetto che si tatua nel cervello al primo ascolto, riuscendo abilmente ad utilizzare la parola “Christmas” in maniera semplice, creativa ed originale.
Se il prano di Natale è di una noia mortale mettete questo disco nelle stereo, alzate il volume al massimo ed in nanosecondo vi ritroverete la famiglia a ballare sul tavolo come animali impazziti.
Christmas
Christmas
Christmas
Light the lights, ring the chimes
come on in its party time
raise a glass for old lang syne
come on and rock it up for all mankind
good to see friends i know
kissin’ under the mistletoe
i love to hear the children sing
it looks like santa’s gonna’ bring…
(Another rock and roll christmas)
another christmas rock and roll
presents hangin’ from the tree
you’ll never guess what you’ve got from me
(another rock and roll christmas)
another christmas rock and roll
you better be off home, shut up tight
you never know it might snow tonight.
Guys and gals stay up late
they’re so excited they can’t wait
let there be peace on earth
come on and rock and roll for all your worth
were gonna’ laugh were gonna’ sing
were gonna’ make the rafters ring
pull my cracker
let me be the silver star upon your tree.
(Another rock and roll christmas)
Another christmas rock and roll
all dressed up so here we go
do i hear sleigh bells in the snow?
(another rock and roll christmas)
another christmas rock and roll
tonight old santa never ever stops
he rocks around the chimney tops.
And you’ll be rockin’ in your stockin’
when you see your big suprise
cause you’ll be rockin’ in your stockin
you won’t believe your big blue eyes.
Come on in join the fun
it’s christmas time for everyone
may your days be merry and bright
this aint gonna’ be no silent night
see the stars glittering
soon they’re gonna’ see the new year in
Everyone’s huggin kiss me quick
I’m gonna rock and roll for old Saint Nick.
