I hesitate to make this post. Christmas Day was just a few days ago- is now an appropriate time to be juvenile and irreverent? Is there ever a good time for that? Might this subject matter offend some readers? Maybe.
But here we go anyway. At least you’ve been warned.
As a big time Christmas lover, I also appreciate Christmas parody songs. At this point in the season, the big day is just past and you might be a little “Christmassed-out”. If so, you might be in the mood for some of this nonsense.
If you’re willing to dip your cup into this foul and off color bowl of musical egg nog, do so at your own risk, and enjoy!
Here are some of my favorite Christmas Parodies:
Dick In A Box by The Lonely Island featuring Andy Samberg & Justin Timberlake
Originally aired as a Saturday Night Live digital short in 2006, this track won a Prime Time Emmy for original music and also went viral, racking up millions of views and counting. The music is so good that I think it could be a big hit as a regular song with clean lyrics.
Mr. Hanky- Parker, Stone & Shiaman
I haven't seen many episodes of South Park, but thanks to a friend of mine who's nearly obsessed with Christmas parodies, I have heard a bunch of South Park's holiday hits. Mr. Hanky is at or near the top of the charts in that category, plus who among us can resist the allure of some good old-fashioned bathroom humor? Mr. Hanky first aired in episode 9 of South Park's first season, in 1997.
The Restroom Door Said Gentleman- Bob Rivers
To me, this parody of God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman in the grandfather of all Christmas parody songs. It was released in 1988, during my freshman year of college, and seemed like a special, yuletide version of another parody master, Wierd Al Yankovic. Bob Rivers crafted this gem. Bob was a well-known radio personality in the Seattle area who ended up making several Christmas parody albums.
Be Claus I Got High
It's Bob Rivers again! This time from his 2002 Christmas parody album called White Trash Christmas, spoofing Afroman's hit from 2000.
