We listen every year now to “[Because I’m Santa](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2H6S6bXKAs)”, which is Kelly Ogden of The Dollyrots singing alternate lyrics to their signature song “[Because I’m Awesome](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr-E2MaeOWI)” (like in [that Kohl’s commercial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-07EX29r2L4)).

I left one out. “The Rummy Rocker Boy.” It’s a spoof of the Bing Crosby/David Bowie duet of “The Little Drummer Boy” with a Bing Crosby and Ozzy Osbourne soundalike.

I expect everyone’s seen this by now, but I still get a kick out of the Star Trek TNG version of [“Let It Snow.”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2Nz2LPnNq8)

Beat me to it, so I will go for another favorite: The 12 days of Christmas, Indian style. Performed by Boymongoose.

♬ _Once a Good King went to sea  
And his name was Wencil  
He ate oysters so that he  
Could put lead in his pencil  
Buggering the cabin boy, Wencil thought was dandy  
Wencil was a goodly King, but a trifle randy_ ♬

(Yeah, I made that one up myself.)

Wow. I’d never heard of _Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer_, but judging from the insane number of parodies on youtube, it’s clearly graduated to Christmas Classic.

I’m surprised no one, myself included, has rememered Allan Sherman’s [The Twelve Days of Christmas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qoClBsZSTM) yet.

A Japanese transistor radio.\*🎶🎶

The very first Carols for a Cure CD, issued in 1999, had [12 Days of Phantom](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvhdv7FiryE).

Still one of the best parody songs, and Carols for a Cure songs, ever.

He’s pretty obscure these days, but I’m surprised that apparently no other Doper has heard of Yogi Yorgesson.

I Yust go Nuts at Christmas

Yingle Bells

[Harry Stewart - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Stewart)

He’s got a lot of other fun songs, too.
