I think Meat would make a terrifying Santa! I can just imagine some poor child sitting on Meat Loaf's lap asking Meat Loaf for the newest Transformer toy and, in return, getting that bug-eyed stream-of-consciousness nonsensical narrative that we've all come to know and love from from Meat's interviews.

Having said that, I think "When Children Rule the World," might make a nice addition to the track list. I'd also add the single from Striking 13, which I remember was very good on the stage and had potential. With these novelty Christmas albums, I tend to think that arranging the Christmas songs in the signature style or sound of the artist might actually be more important than the song selection. Imagine Jingle Bells ala I Would do Anything fo Love... (j/k). I think Meat should also avoid The Little Drummer Boy and all the other songs that have been killed by pop artists many times before. The vocals are also awfully important on these projects, as well.

Just my 2 cents.
