Here’s a fun version on YouTube. Not as good as the original, but it was live in the park.
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.
Thank you for that, it somehow made a campy song, campier!

Almost forgot Heywood Banks’ R&B version of “Frosty”:
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.
