millerx Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 There is a Christmas song I want to download but I don't know who it's from. I figured with all the metalheads and rockers on this site, you guys might be able to help me out. It's : "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch!" Not the original song from the movie or cartoon. This one is a rock version I heard on the radio a couple years ago. Not full-on metal but definitely was a rock version with good guitar. It was played on a rock station in Atlanta, and I don't know if it was a local band or not (so maybe it is just played regionally ) but any help tracking it down would be appreciated. After all it is the Christmas Season. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylive5 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Or you could be looking at: Offspring (a punk cover) version Whirling Dervishes version The first one sounds more like what you are talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's do the grinch tune." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked out the Whirling Dervishes and that's not it and it doesn't have the Offspring sound....so I'm still looking, but thanks for the effort! seriously.

I hate it when I fail. *sigh* I am out of choices I think. Unless you consider Burl Ives a rocker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
