Music and structure

"Jingle Balls" is a death metal rendition of the famous Christmas song "Jingle Bells", featured on a bonus EP included with Issues. It has been widely circulated as the "Jingle Bells death metal version" on the Internet. A slightly different and shorter version with bagpipes was played live on Los Angeles, California KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas concert in December 11, 1998.[3]

Guitarist Brian Head Welch did all the vocals for this song. This is the second time in Korn's entire discography that Head has done lead vocals for a song. The first time was a cover of the War song "Low Rider" from the album Life is Peachy.
