Cyndi Lauper + The Hives = Christmas Song?

Say what?
We guess that 80’s icon Cyndi Lauper just wants to have fun!
She’s working on an Xmas song with Swedish garage rock band The Hives.
Their collaboration, A Christmas Duel, will be available as a free download on November 28th.
In a statement, The Hives said, “It may sound weird and come as a surprise to some, but we had to. It came to us. It landed in our lap and was way too good to shake or toss. We knew we had to record it. A sign if you will.”
Cyndi commented, “This goes to show even rat sideswipers can have a good Xmas too.”
Interesting.
Can’t wait to hear this one.
