 One of the few covers of "It's Cold Outside" was released by Stiv Bators in 1979, the same year that the song was reissued on the "Pebbles, Volume 2" LP.Although it had been a long-time favorite of Bators, the punk band the Dead Boys – which he had fronted earlier in the decade – had wanted to record their own version but were unable to figure out how to play it.Due to the band's shifting line-up over the years, their remaining songs are varied in style and (according to some) somewhat uneven in quality.
