Alice Cooper and Judas Priest’s Rob Halford have released a Christmas song for children – listen to the track and watch the video here.‘My Christmas List’ is a collaboration with the charity Rock For Children, and is set to benefit Cooper’s Solid Rock Teen Centers organisation, a non-profit that provides teenagers with after-school training in sound engineering, staging, lighting and video production.Singer-songwriter Brandon Jenner, son of Caitlyn and half-brother of Kendall and Kylie, is also featured on the track.‘My Christmas List’ involves the singers telling Santa Claus of the things on their Christmas list, including a “rock balloon that can fly to the moon” and a “12-string can I can play in a band,” while they also let Santa know to enjoy his trademark milk and cookies.In a spoken word section, Cooper suggests other things a child could ask for, telling them: “Seriously kid, always remember to never stop dreaming of the impossible, and believe in the magic of your imagination.”A boy replies: “Thanks, Mr.

Cooper! If I don’t end up with those things from my list, then what I want for Christmas is this,” as he holds up a scroll with the words “kindness and love” written on it.The track first appeared on the Rock For Children compilation ‘Solid Rock Revival’, released on August 30.Cooper appears on seven of the album’s tracks, with Halford on two.

Among the other names involved on the album are Slash – on a motorcycle-themed song, ‘Freewheelin’’ – Darryl McDaniels of Run-DMC, Steve Azar, and the Mexican duo Radio Nube, comprising sisters aged eight and 10.

The album has received a Grammy nomination in the Best Children’s Music Album category, too.Earlier this month, meanwhile, Judas Priest announced two new UK.
