It's some grammar stuff... I mean if this is a typical "subjective + verb" sentence, then why it's neither "Jingle Bells Rock" nor "Jingle Bell Rocks"? Or is it some other grammatical phenomenon? I'm from China by the way, trying to learn your language better, so if there is anything in this question itself that is weird to you, please let me know. Thanks! :)

Jingle Bell Rock was written in 1957 for the 100th anniversary of Jingle Bells. Of course that was the height of the rock 'n' roll era.

Why did they call it "Jingle Bell Rock" as opposed to "Jingle Bells Rock"? Probably because the former was easier to sing. Grammatically, because "Jingle Bell" is an adjective and "Rock" is a noun.
