Merry Christmas, I Don't Want To Fight Tonight

Frankie and the Pool Boys featuring Kayla Fowler
"Merry Christmas, I Don't Want To Fight Tonight"

"Merry Christmas, I Don't Want To Fight Tonight" was written by Joey Ramone for a solo record, though it was later recorded by The Ramones. We tried to do a Phil Spector "Wall of Sound" arrangement like you might find on the legendary Christmas album. The video alludes to the rift between Johnny and Joey Ramone, and we wish for peace between all brothers and sisters.
On lead vocals, the amazing Kayla Fowler, with Jonathan Rodriguez on drums and percussion, and a brilliant baritone sax by Berkeley music legend, Marc Baum. Other instruments and Production by Ferenc Dobronyi. Enjoy!
This song is on the "Seasonal Favorites, Volume 5" from Double Crown Records, due out in December 2019.
