Deck us all with Boston Charlie!  
Walla Walla, Wash. and Kalamazoo!

That’s the beginning of of Walt Kelly’s spoof of _Deck the Halls_, sung every Christmas in his comic strip _Pogo_.

I also remember a schoolyard parody of _We Three Kings_:

We three kings of Orient are  
Trying to smoke a rubber cigar  
It was loaded and it exploded  
Now we wonder where we are

Any others? I’m defining a Christmas spoof to be altered lyrics to an existing Christmas song, so forget about _Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer_ … if you can.

Since my favorite holiday song is Winter Wonderland, my favorite spoof song is [Walking Around In Women’s Underwear](http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bob+rivers/walking+around+in+womens+underwear_20644237.html).

The Mistletones do a number called _Toy Sack_ which is a Christmas-themed parody B-52’s _Love Shack_. But that’s the other way 'round from what you are asking for, which is more along the lines of the classic:

Jingle Bells, Batman smells,  
Robin laid an egg…

Our own Doper **brujaja** has written a number of carol parodies related to Cthulhu. There are more than what I list here, but these will give you an idea.

We Three Things Abhorrent Are
[![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/tQ-77NWnCP0/hqdefault.jpg "It Comes Upon A Midnight Drear") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ-77NWnCP0)

It Comes Upon a Midnight Drear

On the Night Cthulhu Comes(Jolly Old St. Nicholas)

Cthulhu the Monster(Frosty the Snowman) This one is one of my favorites

Tentacles Are Coming to Town

The music is good and the rhymes are clever.

JibJab has a funny version of “[Jingle Bells](http://www.jibjab.com/holidays/christmas/santa_claus).”

Poor Santa.

Well, you’re the one who brought up _Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer_, so I’ve gotta counter with _Grandpa Got Run Over By a Beer Truck_.

After putting on my thinking toque, I came up with Bob & Doug’s [12 Days of Christmas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DTwLqR071M).

I never miss a chance to post [this Jingle Bell Rock parody](http://youtu.be/hcEN5C-OMDo). For me, it really embodies the essence of the holiday season.

Capitol Steps has quite a few (some are dated, since they’re topical satirists).

I’ll be Broke for Christmas

  
A Gay Pride Christmas

  
A Sarah Palin Christmas

  
Have a Very Liberal Christmas

  
Muzzle Joe, Muzzle Joe, Muzzle Joe

Gotta go with,

“Where’s my fucking bike?” By some bloody Aussie I can never remember. Check it out.

It’s not a spoof as such, but “[The Christmas Boogie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZSq7TERVWA)” by [the Davis Sisters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Davis_Sisters_%28country_band%29) is a lighthearted and unorthodox rendering of Clement Moore’s “A Visit From Saint Nicholas,” done in a hip early 1950s space age style. Lots of fun.

A Christmasized parody of a non-Christmas song, hope it doesn’t get disqualified on a technicality.

My very favorite Xmas song, Dan Hicks with the Christmas Jug Band: \* Somebody Stole My Santa Claus Suit.\*

There’s _Leroy The Redneck Reindeer_, and Foxworthy’s _The 12 Redneck Days of Christmas_.

Frank Sinatra (with Nancy & Frank Jr.) did a parody of _Do You Hear What I Hear_ called _Didn’t I Get This Last Year_?

Maybe I’m a sick and twisted person, but I always liked the brief Christmas song from Scrubs: [scrubs christmas song - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQo1zD6nKRc)
