Cyndi Lauper Went Down On The Hives' Mother

Got your attention with that title, didn't I? I'm such a Katy Perry! Anyway, The Hives & Cyndi Lauper have a great new Christmas track available for free download through The Hives website this holiday weekend, then available for paid download next week.

The song is "A Christmas Duel" and it's funny, filthy and very classically Christmas. The horns, the beat and the faint jingle bells say Phil Spektor Christmas, but the lyrics say indie rock. It seems Hives lead singer Howlin' Pelle Almqvist cheated on Cyndi with her sister, but she's OK with it cause she banged his brother and went down on his mother. Some records were burned and hit men hired, too; but "the snow keeps on falling even though we were bad... we should both just be glad and spend, spend, spend this Christ, Christmas together." I concur.

Is this new because Cyndi sounds great! She sounds better than she did on her own album from this year! Totally adding it!

It is brand new. Yes, Cyndi sounds fabulous! Bring Ya To The Brink was a good dance record, but this sounds more like Cyndi to me.
