Bob Rivers’ little ditty with the girl singing “There’s something stuck up in the chimney” is my FAV x-mas carol. That and John Pryne’s “Christmas in Prison”.

No help in recognizing orig. tunes, I was reading through the list and lost focus. Too long for me. Sorry ☹

“The dog is barking up the chimney flue and we don’t know what we’re gonna do.” God, what lyrics!!
