<p>This week on SlapperCast: we kill some songs (some of them being Christmas song), resurrect a few in return, and decide which of the killed songs we’d prefer to cover if we had to. Discussed: Rory Gallagher, Adrian Belew, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne, George Harrison, Elvis Presley, and Mariah Carey.</p>
