A Christmas single from Philadelphia's finest frat rock band has become a proper tradition, so why should 2025 be any different? The Bacarrudas are back with a perfect 1-2 punch of new holiday standards. "Ring-A-Ding-Ding!" is all about joy and nostalgia. Think jingle bells, sugary treats, bright lights, and kids anticipating the toys they'll find under the tree. This is a straight-up rocker to get everyone up and dancing at the Christmas party. If you snuck this song onto any of those all-Christmas radio formats, people would just assume that it was some lost classic. On the virtual flipside, "Christmas Struttin'" is more of an anti-Christmas song. This one goes out to everyone who is down on their luck at this time of the year or simply not feeling the Christmas spirit. The Bacarrudas are such a great party band, but here they show their ability to move into more poignantly soulful territory. Adam's vocal is quite redolent of Peter Wolf, and that's not a bad thing at all. Whatever your mood might be this holiday season, this single has got something for you. If you're going to bother to write new Christmas songs in 2025, you ought to do it this well!
