Back Door Santa

Sat, Dec 12, 2009 at 9:14 PM

So, It's getting near Christmastime and after listening to Jet's cover of 'Back Door Santa', it got me thinking. What is everyone doing for Christmas? Going out of country? Going to a concert? Just chilling at home? (ok. the song 'Back Door Santa' isn't really about Christmas, I mean really, listen to it..thanks to original writer Clarence Carter) And speaking of covers of songs, what are the best covers of songs? by Jet and other people? Tell me your opinions on that too! Thanks everyone! and Merry Christmas, Hannukah, New Years, Holidays, whatever!

    Whenever the Beatles covered a song they always made it better. Their cover of 'You've Really Got a Hold on Me' is just so awesome. I also love Dio and Malmsteen's cover of the Aerosmith song 'Dream On'

    Jet always do awesome covers. They did a great job of Rose Tattoo's 'We Can't Be Beaten' but I would really love to see them cover the Beatles 'Don't Let Me Down' because not many people can pull off a Beatles song but if anyone could do it, it would be Jet.

    Merry Christmas to you too.

    Kasabian's cover of Runaway is pretty awesome. :D
    JET's best cover is probably Reason is Treason.
    Merry Christmas everybody!

    I really love Green Day's cover of "Working Class Hero"!
    And I'm very subjective about JET so I like every cover made by them.

    Merry Christmas!

    I just heard Jet's version played on DC 101 on Friday. :) First time I've heard it played locally...and it's been out for what? 4 years?

    Thanks so much for sharing!

    They must just LOVE fans like me.... and then hate them later when they actually show up to their shows…

    Wow that was nice! Although I kept waiting for him to the 'Oooo ooo oo oooo oooo ooooooohhhhh'. Was that one of Barnesy's daughters doing backup?
