While naming your holiday album \”Barenaked for the Holidays\” is a pretty catchy way to get some attention, for the quirky pop band that calls itself the Barenaked Ladies, it made sense — about as much sense as getting naked on \”The Sharon Osbourne Show\” last year, anyway. Apparently, stripping down\’s just part of the offbeat Canadians\’ sense of fun. So it follows that anyone expecting the Ladies\’ holiday album to be anything less than silly would be, well, silly.

The new CD offers up revamped Christmas, Chanukah and New Year\’s classics, as well as a few original tunes, including one called \”Hanukkah Blessings,\” written by Jewish band member Steven Page. The reinterpreted songs include a version of \”Jingle Bells\” that has \”the extra lines you remember from being a kid,\” Page recently told rollingstone.com.
