THE TOP 10 FUNNIEST CHRISTMAS SONGS

Now, for the official FINAL Christmas song for the year, it's: THIS ONE! Now, there has to be something said about the difference between being silly and stupid for silly and stupid's sake and the simple fact that you just wrote a stupid SERIOUS song and didn't even know it. These songs were written and recorded with the intent for Yuletide hilarity, and that's exactly what you get. From the classics to the modern, you can't help but feel the Holiday cheer, or roll your eyes in contempt. Either way, enjoy!




10) ADAM SANDLER - THE HANUKKAH SONG

** When this song first came out on SNL a couple 10 years ago, it was hilarious. Now, since it's been played to the point of insanity and has spawned 2 lesser sequels, it's mostly just annoying. Just pretend it's 1998, okay? **








9) SEAN MOREY - DEAR SANTA

** Not exactly the funniest piece of Christmas Carol on the planet, but it's still pretty humorous. Sean Morey is a regular on The Bob and Tom Show and this was recorded there. Share with your friends! **








8) THE ELECTRIC AMISH - A VERY AMISH CHRISTMAS

** This sounds a bit like Da Yoopers, and I suppose it's entirely possible that it is but just under a different name. It is pretty funny, but not as much as Weird Al's Amish Paradise, as Amish themed songs go, that is. **








7) GAYLA PEEVEY - I WANT A HIPPOPOTAMUS FOR CHRISTMAS

** I'm sorry, but I love this song. From the sweet innocence of this then-7-year-old's voice, to the child-like desire for the impossible; it's such a great holiday song that never looses its sweet charm. That sugary enough for ya? **








6) BOB RIVERS - WALKIN' ROUND IN WOMEN'S UNDERWEAR

** This hysterical parody of the Christmas classic, Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland is done so dead-on serious that it's just that much more perfect. The video is lovely, as well. **







5) BOB RIVERS - THE TWELVE PAINS OF CHRISTMAS

** I remember hearing this song about fifteen years ago on this cassette that my grandmother had that she used to dig out on Christmas. I still think it's a riot because it reminds me so much of the holiday. **








4) THE IRISH ROVERS - GRAMMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER

** Classic. This funny Christmas song has been around since the dawn of time originally done by Elmo and Patsy. I like this version. That is all. **








3) THURL RAVENSCROFT - YOU'RE A MEAN ONE MR. GRINCH

** Screw you with a brick, Jim Carrey, this is the one and only version of this song. Period. I have spoken. Or, more to the point, Thurl has spoken. **








2) WEIRD AL YANKOVIC - THE NIGHT SANTA WENT CRAZY

** I have been a die-hard follower of Weird Al since back when you could become a 'Close Personal' friend of Al by mail. This Christmas parody is off the Bad Hair Day album featuring that Amish Paradise ditty I mentioned earlier. So go get it already! **








1) WEIRD AL YANKOVIC - CHRISTMAS AT GROUND ZERO

** Okay, so... um. Well, exactly the same as above except for the fact that this is off the Polka Party album and you'll likely never hear this or the former on radio... for obvious reasons. People are stupid. **
