Arctic Monkeys on the front cover of the special Xmas 2007 issue of NME

We bet you don't look good on the dancefloor - dressed like this...

It's the festive season and those Arctic Monkeys are getting into the spirit of things with this wacky fancy-dress Crimbo photo shoot.

The lads' elves sported cuts and bruises as if it had all got a bit tasty at the pub next to Santa's Grotto. But the Monkeys' moody faces were all natural.

They had to hang around for five hours waiting for Snow White - one Miss Amy Winehouse - before getting a call saying the jazz babe was "ill".

A source said: "They were dressed as elves for a bit longer than they would have liked."

But their spokesman told us: "They were a bit disappointed Amy didn't show but still had fun."

Don't worry, lads, we reckon you all look great dressed as Santa's little helpers. Although Amy would have made a great Dopey.

For the full feature see this week's special Christmas issue of NME, on sale now.
