Iggy Pop wants to celebrate Christmas with his own holiday tunes.

The “Lust For Life” singer has been wanting to add a festive hit to his catalogue and considers recording a Bing Crosby classic every year. “I am a real threat to cover ‘White Christmas’. I’m ready, cocked and loaded,” he said.

The 62-year-old rocker also revealed he that he’s a big fan of Frank Sinatra and has plans to fulfil a long-held ambition to record his own versions of some of the crooner’s hits.

“I’ve always wanted to beat up ‘Willow Weep for Me’ and there’s ‘Only the Lonely’ - that’s the title track of my favorite Frank Sinatra album,” Iggy added.
