For those who have never heard of Bob Rivers, he's a radio personality who has produced 4 albums' worth of high-quality Christmas-themed parodies. While I'm not a fan of some of the songs ("Walkin' Round In Women's Underwear" for instance), I have come to love some of his others over the years, particularly these three. I thought folks here might enjoy them as well.
#1 - "I Am Santa Claus" (parody of "Iron Man"):
#2 - "Smells Like The Night Before Christmas" ("Smells Like Teen Spirit"):
And, in keeping with the true meaning of the season, "Going Up To Bethlehem" ("Going Up Around The Bend" by CCR):
Enjoy, and everyone have a great holiday!

He also does some that are very risque.

His clean ones are hilarious !
I like "Enter Snowman"... it's by a band calling themselves "SellOutica" (they do a pretty good job on the song!)

I took a listen to that parody… it's in a different tuning, and with stronger bass, that almost gives it a Bride/Stryper feeling.

His clean parodys are usually very good. He also gets some not so well known celebrities to to record some of the parody songs. He is a local DJ here in the Seattle, Washington area and his morning show is usually just as funny as his parody music. (oh yes he does more than just Christmas parody songs, he has probably recorded several 100 parody over the last few decades).
