The Hives partially make up for their shitness with a good Xmas duet with Cyndi Lauper, which occasionally sounds like a Ham Sandwich track

"I bought no tree this year And I slept with your brother I wrecked your Daddy's car And went down on your Mother. I set your record collection on fire And said I never knew Felt kind of bad about that And I know you did too" MP3s on Hype Machine

Anti-Christmas songs

Dec 2, 2008, 4:02pm am/fm

By eh Well, they're not so much anti-Christmas as delightfully antithetical to the Christmas spirit. In "A Christmas Duel" Cyndi Lauper and The Hives trade aggressive confessions of infidelity and drunkenness. In Low's "Santa's Coming Over," it's not quite evident that the arrival of that titular big fat man with the long white beard will be met with joy or fear. The expressions on the kids faces are a wonderful mixture of awe and terror. [...]

“The Hives and Cyndi Lauper in a Christmas Duel”

Nov 27, 2008, 1:07pm Knox Road

We all know that as soon as all that Thanksgiving tryptophan wears off it's time to get ready for the next big holiday season. So why not kick it off with a track from The Hives and Cyndi Lauper (huh??)! WARNING: Parents, get your kids out of the room before listening, it's not what I like to call "appropriate." But who doesn't love lyrics like "I slept with your brother, I wrecked your daddies car and went down on your mother." Mmmm.. really gets me in the Christmas spirit! You can download the track free from The Hives' website [...]

Nov 25, 2008, 2:11pm soundsblog

Manca ancora un mese esatto ma già si inizia a respirare l'aria Natalizia...e non è solo per il freddo e la neve che sta colpendo mezza Italia.

Ad anticipare il giorno che tutti i bambini (e non solo) aspettano ci pensano i The Hives e Cyndi Lauper in un pezzo chiamato "A Christmas Duel" che sarà scaricabile gratuitamente dal 28 al 30 Novembre sul sito della band svedese.

The Hives und Cindy Lauper eröffnen musikalische Weihnachten

Nov 25, 2008, 6:32am »78s

Das Rennen um den besten Weihnachtssong des Jahres hat begonnen. The Hives und Cindy Lauper eröffnen die musikalische Weihnachtszeit. Cindy Lauper und die Ex-Garage-Rocker The Hives lancieren mit dem Song "A Christmas Duel" den Wettlauf um die jährlich wiederkehrende Frage nach dem besten Weihnachtssong. Die erste "Songzeile" deutet auf einen Klassiker hin: "I bought no gift this year and I slept with your sister", singt Pelle Carlberg Cindy ins Gesicht. Cindy lässt sich darauf aber auch nicht lumpen. Aber hört selber... Das andere Ritual zu dieser Jahreszeit, neben der Weihnachtssong-Hysterie" nennt [...]

The Hives vs Cyndi Lauper

Nov 24, 2008, 6:35pm Polaroids Of Androids

What do you want for Christmas this year? A new BMX (with back breaks)? A limited edition Ghostface Killah action figure? An autographed photo of Patience from The Grates? A ticket to the Big Day Out and/or a Neil Young sideshow? Sure, they are all mildly awesome things BUT how about a Christmas 'battle' duet between The Hives and Cyndi Lauper? I am pretty sure Lauper claims to have gone down on someone's mother at some stage during that song. XXXmas lesbo action!?! You will be able download the track [...]

Duets

Certo un duetto tra Hives e nientepopodimenoche Cindy Lauper mi sembrava bisssarroo. E invece eccolo servito, caruccio, stropiccioso e natalizio. Dicono i ragazzacci dal loro maispace: So... the five royal Princes of Hives Nation have teamed up with the Queen of Queens from Queens, Cyndi Lauper, to record the best holiday song this side of White Christmas (ok… maybe Silver and Gold as well). The Hives and Cyndi Lauper In A Christmas Duel will be released via The Orchard on December 1st in the UK and one day later on [...]

New Hives & Cyndi Lauper - "A Christmas Duel"

Nov 24, 2008, 10:14am Stereogum

When we joked about the Hives having one fan left , we were proven wrong: They have at least a dozen. (Just kidding, Hives fan.) Cyndi Lauper is apparently fond of the Swedish garage crew -- she's teams up with them for a " Fairytale Of New York "-style "A Christmas Duel." The Hives explain : It may sound weird and come as a surprise to some, but we had to. It came to us. It landed in our lap and was way too good to shake or toss. We knew we had to record it. [...]
