about
Tommy Sjostrom describes the inspiration for the song: "The song came from a crazy dream I had after watching a program about reindeers in Lappland, north Sweden where they live. In my dream they could talk and dance, so I added the twist, and Santa and Christmas seemed pretty natural here too."
lyrics
Santa´s dancing with his favorite elf
Billy Idol is dancing with himself
They dance all night to the Reindeer Twist
Now you can find it on every wishing list
(Erniz:) Bring on the egg nog!
(Janne & Keith:) Where´s Santa and Rudie?
(All:) Let´s have a Christmas party!!!!
Twist, twist, Christmas Twist
You´ve got to twist, twist, Christmas Twist
With a reindeer, with a reindeer
Twist, twist, Christmas Twist
You´ve got to twist, twist, Christmas Twist
With a reindeer, with a reindeer
(Erniz:) And how about a little bottom to move a reindeer´s ass,yeah! Come on! Twist!
(Keith:) I´m gonna add some rhythm to help Ernie move his feet!
(Janne:) I´m gonna add some lead guitar to make sound real sweet!
(Keith:) Well, Erniz got a message he wants to share with you out there!
(Erniz:) All you Christmas reindeers get down and do your dance!
Twist, twist, Christmas Twist
We´re gonna twist, twist, Christmas Twist
With a reindeer, with a reindeer
Twist, twist, Christmas Twist
We´re gonna twist, twist, Christmas Twist
With a reindeer, with a reindeer
With a reindeer....
Is it a plane? Is it a bird? No it´s a reindeer!
Hoo-hoo-hoo, Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
