Those Odd/Funny/Weird Christmas Songs

http://www.niehs.nih.gov/kids/lyrics/hippo.htm

I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas has been running through my head and I've been driving Mom crazy by singing bits and pieces of it.

What song would you like to list?

How about "Grandma got run over by a Reindeer" ...also one of the local stations always plays a song about Domenic the Italian Christmas Donkey.

I've had the Chipmunks Christmas song running through my head while doing laundry today... go figure...

i grew up listening to Dr. Demento, so I have collections of songs he's played on his radio program... including a Christmas CD... muaahaahaahaa!!!!

Christmas At Ground Zero, by Weird Al, Jingle Bells, by the Singing Dogs...

Also, the Bob Rivers Christmas CD's... my favorites being The Chimney Song and The Twelve Pains of Christmas... must haves for all the warped music lovers out there...

Just a few... heh heh heh.

The Christmas song from Charlie Brown's Christmas special is really spooky! It kinda scares me!

I think Adam Sandler sang a Christmas song, it was funny and crazy at the same time.

I was into that song last christmas, Jan. Nothing but a hippopotamus will dooooo!

Oh that is a great one!! I had to find a place that you could hear it sung cuz my BF has never heard it before!!!

Click here and you can download it or just listen to it as sung by Gayla Peevey.

Oh, yes, "Grandma Got Run Over by A Reindeer". A perennial fav of my niece and nephew. My sister has a musical reindeer that sings it and rocks (in a rocking chair).

Jeff Foxworthy's "Redneck Twelve Days of Christmas" is a fave of mine.

I just love "Grandma got run over by a reindeer", and I also like songs by the Jingle Cats.

The Chipmunk song
Christmas in Hollis by Run DMC
I'm Gettin Nuthin for Christmas
