5.0 out of 5 stars SHE'S A WITCH, I HATE HER!, August 28, 2001

This review is from: Holidays in Dementia (Audio CD)

The definitive Christmas CD is here. Wandering in dementia you will come upon some of the most hilarious holiday songs ever written. While Dr. Demento Presents: Greatest Xmas Novelty CD serves up a dinner table of fabulous "oldies" of this genre (and is also a "must have") Holiday in Dementia brings us a whole new collection of weirdness. Everyone's favorite man of the cloth Father Guido Sarducci moans "Santa's Lament", a tale of ungrateful children and robotic "yes" elves what will make you howl. "The Twelve Pains of Christmas" is a that same old tune with a whole new set of lyrics that take us through a sleigh ride of deterioration as folks battle the season and each other (my favorite line in the song sung by a woman who begins by caroling the joys of cooking a holiday dinner for her inlaws and finally screams out "She's a witch! I hate her!"). . "Rusty Chevrolet" is a sleigh of a different color which speeds through town, trying to pick up booze and layaways while losing parts in its wake. Divorced with spoiled kids? "Christmas Is Coming Twice This Year" is the tune for you. There are so many more. And you can end the year with "It's Christmas and I Wonder Where I Am" as you stagger from party to party, sleep it off and awake to "New Year's Resolutions." Yep, this one covers it all. You will be laughing into the next year.

4.0 out of 5 stars Merry Christmas, but I think I'll miss this one this year., December 14, 2005

This is the second Christmas CD compiled by Dr. Demento. Most of the best known Christmas novelty songs are on his first Christmas CD, so this one isn't quite as good as that one. But there are a lot of funny lesser know songs here. In addition to Christmas, there are two songs each about Hanukkah and New Year's. Fans of mad music and crazy comedy should enjoy this CD.

The songs are fun, especially if you are really tired of the traditional Xmas songs. Many of the pieces are not for elementary-age kids.
