My first listen this year to somafm.com's "Xmas in Frisko" stream -- Eric Cartman's "Swiss Colony Beef Log", as hilarious a combination Christmas song/Meat Loaf parody as you'll find.

it's been a swell afternoon of holiday weirdness with somafm. Well, except for N'Sync's pallid cover of "Last Christmas". As Ben Stiller famously said to them at a SuperBowl halftime show: "N'Sync, that N'SUCKED!"

another Bob Rivers "classic", sung to the tune of Deck the Halls: "Grab Your Balls (Like Michael Jackson)". Fa La La La La indeed.

WLNG makes us swoon for Xmas with Bobby Sherman, "Sing a Song of Christmas Cheer". Which is not on YouTube (tho' its B-side is -- go figure!)

You want odder?  How about the Village People recasting "YMCA" as "N-O-E-L"?

'LNG keeps hauling out some amazing stuff: a Sammy davis Jr/Carmen MacRae version of "Baby it's Cold Outside" that was NTM, as is Bobby Vinton's "Santa Must be Polish" (!)

Barry Scott's playing a languidly funked-and-queened-out "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" - "Let's face it, darling, YOU are a MESS!" - but didn't ID the artist.

I'm listening to the whole half-hour; loved the Partridges and this VP thing is hilarious (and apparently recent, based on the "big-screen TV" reference).

TANC: the John Denver orig of "Please Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas)", which I mentioned when posting the Alan Jackson cover.

many thanks, Gaz, for that Barry Scott link -- "lost in Xmas" indeed. I had not heard that Bobby Goldsboro Xmas song in 35 years, easily.
