In ihrem Slade Cover `Merry Xmas Everybody` nähern sich BLIND GUARDIAN nicht nur musikalisch den Glamrockern von SLADE, sondern auch optisch. Das Ergebnis zeigt die Band dann im typischen 70er, frühe 80er Glamrocklook wie sie den Weihnachtsevergreen von 1973 neu interpretieren.
BLIND GUARDIAN schreiben:
“There’s no December without the catchy tune par excellence! We have put together a new music video for “Merry Xmas Everybody” featuring previously unseen behind-the-scenes footage! Prepare yourself for a dose of glam rock metal!“
Na dann mal, viel Spaß!

Lyrics:
Are you hanging up your stocking on your wall?
It’s the time when every Santa has a ball
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer?
Does a ton-up on his sleigh?
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?
So here it is, merry Christmas
Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now
It’s only just begun
Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?
Does your granny always tell ya
That the old songs are the best?
Then she’s up and rock ’n‘ rollin‘ with the rest
So here it is, merry Christmas
Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now
It’s only just begun
What will your daddy do
When he sees your mama
Kissing Santa Claus?
A-ha
Are you hanging up your stocking on your wall?
Are you hoping that the snow will to start to fall?
Do you ride on down the hillside
In a buggy you have made?
When you land upon your head
Then you’ve been slayed
So here it is, merry Christmas
Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now
It’s only just begun
So here it is, merry Christmas
Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now
It’s only just begun
So here it is, merry Christmas
Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now
It’s only just begun
So here it is, merry Christmas
Everybody’s having fun (it’s Christmas)
Look to the future now
It’s only just begun
