Dr. Demento - Greatest Christmas Novelty CD (1989)

Dr. Demento - Greatest Christmas Novelty CD (1989)
Genre: Christmas Novelty | MP3 | 128 Kbps | 50.1 MB | 55:18

If you like your Christmas tidings with a dollop of good humor, then this batch of holiday tunes is right up your alley. The lineup ranges from cute and innocuous (the Chipmunks, the Singing Dogs, and Spike Jones) to satirical (Stan Freberg and Allan Sherman) and just plain weird (Elmo and Patsy's "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" and Tom Lehrer's "A Christmas Carol"). A fun seasonal alternative to Bing Crosby.

Collections like these are always interesting. Humor is subjective so odds are what appeals to some won't appeal to others. Contributions by clever performers like Tom Lehrer and Stan Freeberg are mixed with "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" and "I Yust Go Nuts at Christmas,"creating quite a mixed bag. From the Singing Dogs to Allen Sherman is quite a leap, but fans of the "fun" side of Christmas music should be satisfied.
