Twisted Sister's Dee Snider Scored A Hit With Celine Dion
. Snider tell Chris Jericho's Talk Is Jericho podcast: "One of the engineers, a few years later, becomes a Grammy Award-winning producer named Rick Wake. He called me one day and he goes, 'Are you sitting down? Celine Dion wants to record God Bless Us Everyone.'" "The first thing I said was, 'Does she know who wrote it?' He said, 'I didn't tell her yet.' And I said, 'Do not tell her Satan wrote a Christmas song!' He said, 'Seriously?' I said, 'Seriously, dude. Just put it on the frigging album.'" Wake explained that Dion had a request of her own. He tells Snider: "One other thing: She wants to change the name to The Magic Of Christmas Day (God Bless Us Everyone)." The singer responded: "I don't care if she calls it This Song Is A Pile Of Dog Sh*t. Just put it on her album!" The track appeared on Dion's 1998 Christmas release, These Are Special Times. Snider says the publishing income from the cover paid off in a very big way. "Eight million copies later, then it was on Rosie O'Donnell's Christmas album and sold another two million. We call our house The House That St. Celine Built!" Read Dee's full recounting here. Classic Rock Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
