Dweezil and
Ahmet Zappa did a version of this on
Dweezil's album "
Automatic".
Ahmet does an
uncanny impersonation of
Thurl Ravenscroft, almost
identical to the
original. Dweezil plays a purely
guitar-based arrangement of the
theme (pointing out in the
liner notes that there are no
keyboards or
samples anywhere on the
track), and sings a
bridge of his own
composition:
I know
the Grinch, he stole Christmas, 'cause his
heart was
three sizes too small
Dweezil commented in an
interview that the recording was intended to be a part of a larger "
Zappa Family Christmas" project. One
shudders to think.
