“Rock and Roll” is the title of several distinct songs:
The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle (1980) is a fictional “documentary” (a “mockumentary”) film directed by Julien Temple about the seminal British punk rock band Sex Pistols. It starred the band: singer Johnny Rotten as “The Collaborator”, guitarist Steve Jones as “The Crook”, bassist Sid Vicious as “The Gimmick”, drummer Paul Cook as “The Tea-Maker”, and the band’s infamous manager, Malcolm McLaren, as “The Embezzler”. It also features original bassist Glen Matlock, who appears briefly in some live scenes.

The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle was also the name of the Sex Pistols’ second album (and a song from that album). Though billed as a Sex Pistols album, it is actually the soundtrack of the film, and also includes performances by several other artists.

“Another Rock N’ Roll Christmas” is a popular 1984 Christmas song by Gary Glitter.
The song is about the fun of Christmas and refers to Rock and Roll music throughout, examples being the lyrics “You’ll be rocking in your stocking” and “Come on, Rock and Roll for old St. Nick“. The song sold very well, hitting the Top 10 in the UK Singles Chart, becoming Glitter’s most successful song since 1975. Though he was still touring regularly when the song came out, Glitter has often credited “Another Rock N’ Roll Christmas” as a song that gave him a huge resurgence in popularity.
The song was included on the album Boys Will Be Boys, issued in 1985 and was reissued many times, both as a single (including a collectors picture disc) and on other albums.
The track was one of the most played Christmas songs in the UK for many years and is still played today, though not as heavily, following Glitter’s conviction for possessing child pornography.
