The Beatmas! Xmas carols to Beatles tunes!

[Triple J]

Anyone who loves the Beatles and Christmas carols simply MUST hear this album! It's by a Beatles tribute band from Denmark called "The Rubber Band" and they released an album of old Christmas standards, performed to the tune of Beatles songs! There are two versions of the album, an American and a Japanese release. I believe the Japanese one has better versions of the songs, because my Mom received a bootleg tape from someone, and then found a copy of the American CD, but the tracks were different. Here's the track list:

1 Jinglebell Rock (Please Please Me)
2 Santa Claus Is Coming To Town (Eight Days A Week)
3 Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree (I Saw Her Standing There)
4 Last Christmas (Please Mr. Postman)
5 Feliz Navidad (No Reply) - THIS IS AWESOME!
6 I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus (All My Loving)
7 Jinglebells (Love Me Do)
8 Rudolph The Rednosed Reindeer (Taxman)
9 Mary's Boy Child (Nowhere Man)
10 White Christmas (Ticket To Ride/Happy Xmas (War Is Over))
11 Silent Night (Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds)
12 Bairn Is Born In Beatlehome (A Day In The Life/All You Need Is Love)
