[QUOTE=What Exit?] I have always loved [Snoopy’s Christmas](http://www.oldies.com/product-view/27712.html). I heard it the other day and I still get a kick out of it. [Link to short sample from the link above.](http://www.oldies.com/samples/playtrack.cfm?eurl=5S5GTy6qnFbspxpXSoh%2FrAgBesrSINy8VigbvIO6geas44POjQelZhr3j3Kx%216%21X9Hw5dt%2FNOlm19x3fVQFteg%7C%7C) The album I linked to has many other novelty songs.

Shalom Santa You can see all the regret and pain I’m going through Cause on one hand what’s a _mitzah_ on the other is taboo So I got to say an _ave_ and an _oy vey_ And a _mea culpa_ too Cause my mother is a lapsed Catholic And my daddy is a cultural Jew. ---

Speaking of Alan Sherman, I’ve had pieces of **The Ballad of Sir Greenbaum** (What Sleeve Is This?) stumbling through my head all day. And who can forget **God Rest You, Jerry Mendelbaum**? ---

I hope someone can help me find a song that I only heard on XM Radios Special XMAS channel a few years ago. The only thing I remember about it is the line “Pray to the angel” over and over again, and the female singer was off key for most of the song. Does anyone know the name of the song and or the singer. Thanks. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/favorite-novelty-songs/385339.md?page=1)
