Dr. Demento Presents: Greatest Christmas Novelty CD

Amazon.com
The title might be immodest, but it's accurate. Just about every holiday song parody and comedy sketch you can imagine is jimmied onto this hilarious, sprawling collection. While you'll find a smattering of well-known Christmas wackiness (including "Grandma Got Run over by a Reindeer" and the Singing Dogs' "Jingle Bells"), the Doctor's specialty is unearthing the obscure, such as Wild Man Fischer's weirder-than-weird "I Am a Christmas Tree." You'll never listen to "The 12 Days of Christmas" quite the same way after hearing the spins put on the tale by both Allan Sherman and Bob and Doug McKenzie, and you're likely to check your Christmas cookie for "special ingredients" after hearing Cheech & Chong's "Santa Claus and His Old Lady." --David Sprague

Customer Reviews:

A family favorite.......2007-04-01

This CD is a family favorite. My kids love to sing along to it, particulary the Hippopotamus song (which is very difficult to find). Although I originally bought this CD for that one song, we have found the entire disk highly enjoyable.

hippopotamus song.......2007-03-09

This is a great Novelty CD. I purchased it especially for the "I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas " song as my daughter loves it !!

Great Xmas Novelty collection.......2007-02-17

This CD has it all - the barking dogs, Grandma got run over by a reindoor and quite a few other cute songs. We really like it

ATYPICAL CHRISTMAS FARE.......2007-02-13

A definite change-of-pace from the typical Christmas CD. I bought this for my wife...the hippo song is her favorite.

Dr Demento Presents, CD.......2007-01-24

I was looking for the original version of the song, "I want a Hippopatamus for Christmas." This CD is wonderful! There were even a few surprises that we enjoyed!
