Band Members’ Take on the Song
In their own words, the band humorously describes their holiday endeavor:
“Well… Along with the persistent pestering by Torch and Ripper, Cobra Commander now has a new scheme to ensnare the masses with a … ugh … Christmas song.” – Zartan
“All’s I wanted for Xmas was to see the USS Flagg sink like a stone into the briny deep—well, that and maybe a new piledriver, but instead, the boss wanted us to sing a Christmas song, of all things! Then I thought, who am I to refuse our legions of screaming fans a little ‘oliday brainwa- er ‘eadbanging!” – Ripper
“It’s a bloomin’ treat to once again show the yobbos why we’re the best heavy metal band in the world!! Bludgers thought we was washed up, but we put out the best album of 2025! Didn’t think we could nail a Chrissie song, and we turn in a bloody ripper! And wait till you read the lyrics!! Least, I’ve heard they’re good. Reading ain’t me strong suit.” – Torch
“Ehh, he’s not really a Joe guy like us. Maybe just something like ‘I likes me choo choo train… And me chainsaw too!’ Ross, is that what you have him playing at the beginning of the video?” – Buzzer
