We talk to Chris Jericho, the current All Elite Wrestling World champion, about his charity cover of the Kinks classic 'Father Christmas.' IAmJericho
Chris Jericho isn’t just the first AEW World champion, and one of the greatest pro wrestlers of all time—he’s a legit renaissance man. He’s been an actor, a TV show host, acompetitor, a SiriusXM DJ, and has been belting out heavy metal and hard rock songs with his band Fozzy for 20 years. Fozzy’s 2017 album,, provided Jericho with his AEW theme song, as well as the name of Jericho’s new finisher, the devastating back elbow known as the Judas Effect.
Well you always have to do that. The original song, he sings a very dirty, 1977, English punk style, which sounds great, and I just knew fit the way I sing. And also as well, make it more of a rock ‘n’ roll version, I could nail that. So it turned out that my instincts were correct and it really was kind of a perfect song. It’s fun to sing, too. And also not the easiest song to sing.
Paste: When you do covers, what do you like more, trying to recreate that original feel, or putting your own stamp on a song that you love?It’s a little bit of both. I’ve never been the type of guy to completely change an arrangement just to be cheeky. When you do a cover, the idea is to pick a song that people haven’t overheard, that hasn’t been covered a hundred times, and that wasn’t a huge hit.
Paste: I see it’s credited to Chris Jericho and the Christmas Helves and not Fozzy. Is that just a little joke for the holiday or is this a different lineup?A whole different lineup of guys and girls. It’s something I brought to the Fozzy table and we’re recording and writing a new record right now, and I think the distraction to do a cover, even though it wouldn’t take a long time, it wasn’t high on the list of priorities for the other guys.
Paste: One of the tricks to making money off Spotify is finding a popular song that isn’t actually on there yet, and then doing your own cover of it that will pop up on Spotify when people search for it. Like Slade’s “Merry Xmas Everybody” didn’t use to be on there, and there were a ton of covers of it on Spotify.Paste: Yeah, have you thought about making this an annual thing?Yeah, I liked how it turned out, and it was a lot of fun to do. It’s just a matter of finding songs that you can do.
