Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want to Fight Tonight) – Ramones

For the rebellious ones, tired of the well-known Christmas radio hits that are all over around this time of the year, here is a little treat. The signature Joey Ramone vocals and Dee Dee’s bass will set you right in the Christmas mood. 

Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want to Fight Tonight) was first released in Ramones’ 1989 record Brain Drain and since then creates an instant smile on the faces of even the most angry punk rockers. Just as you heard, no fighting on Christmas!
