enjoy Christmas novelty tunes.>>

Here's some of the tunes that I've found(and enjoy!) and play on my station
closer to Christmastime...

1.  Bob Rivers...he has three Christmas albums out - Twisted Christmas which
includes "A Message From The King", "The chimeny song" and a heavy requested
tune each year.."The Twelve Pains Of Christmas".  - I Am Santa Claus includes
"There's Another Santa Claus" and "Didn't I Get This Last Year?"  -  and his
latest CD - More Twisted Chirstmas which includes"Parking Spaces", "Hey-You!
Get Off My House" and "It's The Most Fattening Time Of The Year".  All great
songs by the fabulous Bob Rivers!

2.  John Denver & the Muppets - A Christmas Together - includes "We Wish You A
Merry Christmas", "Christmas Is Coming" and "Twelve Days Of Christmas"

3.  Mel Blanc - "Yas Dis ist A Christmas Tree" 

4.  St. Nick - "Jingle Bells(Laughing All The Way)" [A man laughing to the
tune of Jingle Bells] (This one gets requested a quite bit too!)

5.  Eddie Lawrence - "What Do You Want For Christmas" - a spoke piece - very
funny!!

Just some of my favorites!
