“The 12 Days of Christmas” is, I’m sorry, horrible and boring. What’s not boring is (good) parodies of said song.
The first parody I remember loving was Bob Rivers Comedy Corp’s “12 Pains of Christmas” (the whole “Twisted Christmas” album rocks, to be honest, especially “The Chimney Song (There’s Something Stuck Up in the Chimney).”
Longtime followers know I’m also a huge Chris Mann fan. I mean, really, who couldn’t love a classically trained vocalist who’s hilarious? While the pandemic is no laughing matter, he somehow makes it more bearable. And now you know where to go if you need toilet paper or rubber gloves.
But no listing of parodies would be complete without the version from another one of my obsessions, Straight No Chaser.
Now I can rest. Except that that song is in my head … dear Lord, make it stop!

There is also “Grandma Got Run Over By A Trucker”; “Grandpa Got Run Over By A Beer Truck”; and the song where Grandma accidentally and unintentionally runs over a reindeer.

I’d call those more novelty than parody.

Did you know that Rivers and company recorded their own parody of “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer”/

What a great post! By the time I’d listened to the first two I was thinking “I can’t listen to that song a third time.” But I did and I’m so glad. It was hilarious.

Three different takes, but all funny. Straight No Chaser does serious stuff too, but when they’re funny, they’re on fire. Their “Christmas Can-Can” is great too.
