3. Christopher Lee - Jingle Hell
Actor Christopher Lee has made a career about of playing intense and intriguing roles, and even at 91 years of age, the actor is no stranger to the metal scene, having worked with bands such as Rhapsody of Fire to produce a multi-lingual metal album. Earlier this year the actor released his second solo metal album 'Charlemagne: The Omens of Death' and received a number of well deserved plaudits on the back of it. This year Lee takes his concepts one step further with a Christmas slant inspired by metal. "Jingle Hell" is a very special song that combines the nonagenarian's talent for operatic vocalisation with shredding guitar riffs and the jingles of some Christmas bobble. He's trying to make Christmas No 1 in the UK - and everywhere else - for 2013 and there's no reason why he shouldn't get the award on merit alone. If that hasn't convinced you the B Side is his own version of Sinatra's "My Way."
