Video: GWAR and Mutoid Man Perform Elton John Parody “Stab Into Christmas”
The 35th — and presumably last, at least for 2020 — entry in the “Bedroom Covers” series curated by Two Minutes to Late Night host Gwarsenio Hall (né Jordan Olds) sees members of GWAR and Mutoid Man performing “Stab Into Christmas,” a parody of Elton John’s 1974 song, “Step Into Christmas.” And in case you’re wondering, yes, they’ve made more changes to the lyrics than just changing “step” to “stab” (unless Sir Elton’s original included lyrics about eating babies and I just don’t remember that).
You can watch the video below. Participants include:
- Blöthar the Berserker (GWAR)
- Balsac (The Jaws of Death) (GWAR)
- Pustulus Maximus (GWAR)
- Stephen Brodsky (Mutoid Man, Cave In, Old Man Gloom, New Idea Society)
- Ben Koller (Mutoid Man, Converge, All Pigs Must Die, Killer Be Killed)
- Kyle Kinane as “Subpoenis Maximus”
- PUP!
