Little Drummer Boy has been covered by dozens of artists over the years. In 1977, quite bizarrely, David Bowie and Bing Crosby teamed up for their unusual version. In 1989 New Kids On The Block recorded their cover for the album Merry, Merry Christmas.
More recently, Justin Bieber (did I really just mention him on this website? Aaargh!) recorded a version with Busta Rhymes for the album Under The Mistletoe. Believe it or not, even Grace Jones sang the song on a kids TV show called Pee-Wee's Playhouse in 1988 - I'd love to have seen that!Copyright © 2009-2023 Simplyeighties.com
