One of the best parody song writers out there is Bob Rivers, a DJ out of Seattle. Unlike Weird Al, the most well known parodist working, Bob Rivers does not do all of his own stuff but rather has others perform the materiel for him. One of his main collaborators also works with Cletus T. Judd, the one and only country parodist anyone outside of hardcore fans of parody has ever heard about.
Why do I bring up such an obscure subject? Because I am a huge fan of parody songs, and some of the best parody songs are Christmas song parodies. ONe of my favorites is a parody of God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen. (sidenote, the title is "God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen" as opposed to "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", and you will note the addition of an all important comma).
Enjoy.
The restroom door said gentlemen
So I just walked inside
I took two steps and realized
I'd been taken for a ride
I heard high voices turned and found
The place was occupied
By two nuns, three old ladies and a nurse
What could be worse
Than two nuns, three old ladies and a nurse?
The restroom door said gentlemen
It must have been a gag
As soon as I walked in there
I ran into some old hag
She sprayed me with a can of mace
And smacked me with her bag
I could tell this just wouldn't be my day
What can I say?
It just wasn't turning out to be my day.
The restroom door said gentlemen
And I would like to find
The crummy little creep who had the nerve
To switch the signs
'Cause I got two black eyes
And one high heel up my behind
Now I can't sit with comfort and joy
Boy oh boy
No I'll never sit with comfort and joy
To hear the actual song go here and scroll down.
