Another vote here for the incredible Christmas at Ground Zero by Weird Al Yankovic – perhaps his very best song.
The Bobs, Fifty Kilowatt Tree is easily my favorite from the a cappella group’s Too Many Santas! album from a few years ago.
And, in a slight hijack, I’ll mention that the Beatles’ seven annual fan club Christmas flexi-discs are a scream for anyone who worships all things Beatle and can get his hands on copies.

The following link is a connection to a website of humor about dogs, German Shepherds in particular. The first song is cute, but the second “Markin’ up my winter wonderland” is hilarious.
John Clarke is a NZ humourist now resident in Aus. He now specialises in glorious satire that you often don’t see coming till it bites you.
His version of “We Three kings” dates from the '70’s, when he used to play a NZ yokel called Fred Dagg. Click on this link, click on “one on a tractor”, and sing it, preferably in the broadest Aus or NZ accent you can muster, preferably slightly out of tune.
“The Chimney Song” (aka: There’s something stuck up in the chimney) from Bob Rivers Comedy Corp (as mentioned above)
“Walkin’ in an Essex Wonderland” (local song with lyrics like, "Joey’s home from the service/and his girlfriend’s gettin’ nervous/While he was at sea/she contracted VD/Walkin’ in an Essex Wonderland.
Crap! I just forgot the third one!
I’ll get back to you.
Yuleman vs. the Anti-Claus, by The Bobs.

riding really slow - so slow
She’s wearing fishnets and a pair of fur trimmed hot pants
I hope it doesn’t snow!”

“Homo Christmas” by Pansy Division
“F*ck Christmas” by Fear
“Nothing for Christmas” by The Reducers
“Twas the Night Before Xmas” by Mojo Nixon and the Toadliquors
from Black Vinyl Records’ Yuletunes release (a nifty collection). I’ve listened to it for the music so often that I forgot what fun the lyrics are.
[sup]She bakes him cookies/she calls him Chris/gets everything double/on her Christmas list/Footsteps on the rooftop, well, I should have known/Santa stole my baby under the mistletoe…[/sup]
I, too, love this song. But what’s the extra gory version? I’ve only ever heard the album version. Whats the difference? What lyrics get changed? It’s pretty gory as-is, actually…
Funny this thread should come up…my girlfriend just gave me the cutest tiny stuffed hippo. See, a few weeks ago I sang “I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas” to her, and she didn’t believe it was a real song, so I played it for her.
I’m still deciding what to name him. I just can’t bring myself to do an alliterative name like “Humphrey”.
