On the first day of Christmas Doctor G Shock sent to me, a copy of the Hoffs new CD.
That's right my first venture into the realm of music reviews and what do I get as my first mission? Davis Hasselhoff – The Night Before Christmas. First off, let me say I don't hate the guy, in fact he goes out of his way to take the piss out of himself which I like in someone. But honestly the last thing we need in these troubled times is another Christmas CD brought out by a guy, who's only chance of getting back onto TV is to sit on one he bought himself, or at least move to Germany.
This is gonna cop a lot of flack from others on Buttonhole, but truthfully this CD seems to be another excuse for the Hoff to keep his name out there all the while doing nothing. I honestly hadn't heard him sing before and now that I have I don't know what the big deal is. He's not off key just dull. So dull in fact, that he could audition for a spot to sing for Blink 182. The CD itself is full of Xmas songs, I know I was surprised myself but when you think about it, it makes sense. He does all the classics like Bing Crosby's White Christmas, O' Holy Night, Jingle Bells, Hark The Herald Angels and two versions of Silent Night- one in English and one in German. Nothing says Xmas like a carol with a German edge. He should've gotten Rammstein to back him up in that one which would've been interesting.

He did however get his daughters to sing with him on one track, which was so cheesy that I had rat problems for a week after I played it. Initially I thought it might be a spoken word album ala William Shatner because the first track is the poem "Twas The Night Before Christmas". He should do radio, he's got the voice for radio, unlike Madonna who has a head for radio. Hang on, I think I can hear those rats coming back after that one!
All in all, it's not so bad, it just isn't my cup of tea. Well, I don't drink tea so let's say it's not my glass of bourbon. If you can wait a little while, I guarantee it will pop up in a bargain bin for bugger all after Christmas. But if you can't wait I will burn you a copy for $5.00. Only joking, it's $10 and a blank CD, my time is precious.
