Still featuring the California band's high-energy, somewhat retro-sounding punk-pop sound, The Gift of Rock primarily features a few classic and some lesser-known holiday cover songs. Included are cuts by such artists as the Kinks, Louis Armstrong, the Sonics, and others. These are fun, somewhat novelty-oriented songs that fit well next to Smash Mouth's own material. In fact, cuts like Smash Mouth's reworking of the Ramones' \"Merry Christmas, I Don't Want to Fight Tonight\" and especially the group's exuberant take on the Royal Guardsmen's 1967 cult classic \"Snoopy's Christmas\" are gleeful, garage rock-style holiday anthems that should appeal to both longtime Smash Mouth fans and anyone who loves left-of-center Christmas songs. ~ Matt Collar","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45461349040415,"sku":"795041791627","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/65e4e0e3202ec421d8a25efe3d0f2996.jpg?v=1777851197","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/gift-of-rock","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
