Alanis Morissette fans may remember her 2019 performance of “Little Drummer Boy” during a “disguised” busking session on The Tonight Show. Now, she’s gotten back into the spirit with a recorded version of the holiday classic.
Accompanied by twinkling bells, tambourines, and warm synths, Morissette begins her cover of “Little Drummer Boy” with restrained vocals, but brings more intensity once she starts singing about Mary in the third verse. Stream Alanis Morissette’s version of “Little Drummer Boy” below.
Morissette isn’t the only artist to cover “Little Drummer Boy” this holiday season. Titus Andronicus recently put their own twist on the song by mixing it with Billy Joel’s “Piano Man.”
