Day 17 of the Underplayed Christmas Advent Calendar celebrating Jim Heath better known as the Rev Horton Heat. The song is “Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy,” a Buck Owens & the Buckaroos cover—a country rewrite of “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa” but supercharged by the Rev’s psychobilly shredding. You might remember his “Psychobilly Freakout” from Guitar Hero II. The image has a cartoon depiction of Heat with Rudolph and a classic car in the left corner, and a stylish 50s sophisticat opening her book so Rev Heat and his band (bassist J-I-M-B-O) pop out like Jack in the Box toys for Christmas. Jim in a Santa hat in his Xmas stage setup centers the image, his name projected on a red curtain behind, flanked by silver tinsely fake Christmas trees that also evoke 50s vintage. I included a Vandals song that paired well that has less to do with the last day of the 3rd quarter theme, but relates nicely to the main selection.
