Jingle Bell Rock

I love the Muppets, especially the older ones from the original TV show and the first movie. Children's Tv these days has nothing that compares to the Muppet Show. A good thing then that it can be bought on DVD (Must get those!). While Swedish Chef has always been my overall favourite Muppet, I am very fond of Dr. Teeth and his crazy band The Electric Mayhem (comprising Floyd and Janice on guitars, Zoot on saxophone and especially the insane drummer Animal). This rendition of Jingle Bell Rock is from the Muppet Christmas Special in which the gang head to Fozzie's mum's farmhouse for the holiday. Here they are joined by both the Sesame Street cast and the Fraggles too! The song starts off with Kermit and his nephew Robin, singing a cutesy version of Jingle Bells, until they get interrupted by the loud guitars, drums and saxophone of the band's far better version!

Jingle Bell Rock by Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem

(Kermit and Robin)

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Ohh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

(The Electric Mayhem)

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell
Jingle bell rock (Yeah!)
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time (Ohh)
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square (Square!)
In the frosty air

What a bright time
It's the right time
To rock the night away (Away!)
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse
Pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell rock

Go Zoot!

So giddy-up jingle horse
Pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling beat
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell rock

(Animal)

Dat the jingle bell rock!
Ahhh... Thank You.
