Bob Rivers seems to have made a whole career out of demented Christmas songs and parodies of Christmas songs. [Here are 64 of them.](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO2NdvRavznYskK8ebpsTBF71MmobT9Lw) My favorite is [Sled Zeppelin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5bH5jGhN_I), an astonishingly accurate recreation of the sound and style of D’yer Maker. ---

The Dollyrots re-recorded their biggest song, [“Because I’m Awesome”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6Vze7ZlLH8), with holiday lyrics to become [“Because I’m Santa”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2H6S6bXKAs).

> [@Skywatcher](#): > > blokes who can actually carry a tune. I’m not one of those who think the O&A version is the best song ever, but musically I think it sounds fine. The Rovers version also sounds fine to me. But either the phrase you used was meant as a joke, or you have absolutely no idea what it means. ---
