Two of my favorites demented songs not mentioned yet (66 responses before we got to “Santa Lost a Ho”?) _I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus_ by Kip Addotta [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/7q4RAORvySw/hqdefault.jpg "Kip Addotta - I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus - Christmas 1985") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q4RAORvySw) _I Yust Go Nuts At Christmas_ by Yogi Yorgison.

Oh, and > [@Czarcasm](#): > > pelted with from now until New Years Eve. Damn! You’re lucky! My wife and daughter have been listening to the local “Lite” station that has been playing 24-7 Christmas music since November 2 (they started late this year); my wife also records every Halmark / Lifetime Christmas movie that she hasn’t seen yet. Talk about a sure fire way to _loose_ the Christmas spirit! ---

He does have musical talent, and he can carry a tune. The first meaning there is “Can’t sing well” which is much more general and is the result of people not caring about what “carry a tune” actually means. If you want to use unnecessarily vague language, I can’t stop you. ---

Hey, it wasn’t my idea. I checked the meaning with Google literally right before posting [this](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lets-have-a-demented-christmas/926691/70) and found that. ---

A good friend of mine, a fellow Dylan fan, sends me this.

[I Had Sex With Santa](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O81rw8XkkdU) - Barnes & Barnes [I Wish It Was Christmas Today](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbPa7qNLrQ8) - Turn it up to eleven! [Happy Xmas (War is Over)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzkg3kBIv88) - Wow! Miley Cyrus has an amazing set of lungs. If this is any indication, she’s wasting her talent on crap when she should be fronting a rock band. At the very, very end, well after the music has stopped, she gives her personal reflection on the performance. That, alone, is worth the price of admission. ---

See **Fiddler on the Roof** with actual Jewish actors. 🤣 This is some of the best parody lyrics, ever. Darlene Love adds an incredible authenticity. She is in the new Netflix **Christmas Chronicles** (2) film whooping it up with Kurt Russell.
