It may only be
November, but it seems like people are already getting ready for
Christmas. The decorations are out in the stores, and some radio
stations have already started to play classic Christmas songs. As
good as 'Silent Night' and 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen' are,
sometimes you want to hear something a little more...shall I say,
spirited? For times like those, here are a few funny Christmas songs.
Even if you don't celebrate the holiday, you can still get a laugh.
For starters, I can't think of anyone
who doesn't get a kick out of
Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer!
For those errant kids,
here's a 'warning'-
I'm getting' nuttin'
for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy Are Mad
I'm getting' nuttin'
for Christmas
'Cause I ain't been
nuttin' but bad.
The kid singing goes on
to describe such dastardly deeds as making his little brother eat a
bug and tying a knot in his sister's hair. Here's a link to the
lyrics along with a quiet rendition of the song.
One
'environmentally-conscious' version of the song puts this spoken-word
verse at the end:
I'm getting' nuttin'
for Christmas because I contributed to
The Greenhouse Effect
which is melting polar ice caps.
We're melting the North
Pole where Santa Claus lives-
He's mad.
Of course, there's the
classic '12 Days of Christmas'. A lot of people don't remember the
original, but that could be because there are so many parody versions
out there. Consider this one from comedian Jeff Foxworthy:
The song is funny on
its own, but the video just adds to it.
Here's another one that
has been played on radio stations around the country. You can ignore
the video, but you have to hear the voices!
12 Pains of Christmas
I don't know if you're
a fan of country music, but this one from Ray Stevens can make anyone
laugh.
Santa Claus Is Watching
You:
And, well, here's a
snarky one that you might not want your kids to sing but that they've
probably already heard from their friends.
Deck the halls with
gasoline, Fa la la la la, la la la la
Light a match and watch
it gleam, fa la la la la, la la la la
Watch the school burn
down to ashes, fa la la, la la la, la la la
Aren't you glad you
played with matches, fa la la la la, la la la (blow)
I hope I've managed to
give you a laugh. What are some funny Christmas songs you've heard?
