A couple of years ago, the lyrics to "Walkin' 'Round in Women's Underwear" were passed around the 'net with no credit given. It was hilarious. The following year I found the CD and discovered Bob Rivers' gift for satire.
Audio production is hurting a bit; Most of the music tracks are synthesized with few live musicians. But clearly the money and effort saved was spent on good singers and vocal production. That and the brilliant satirical lyrics are what makes the album work. In questionable taste? Definitely. Politically incorrect ? Oh yeah. But I've been a Spike Jones and Stan Freberg fan for years, so this is my cup of eggnog. This is absolutely a must-have for anyone who collects comedy recordings.

4.0 out of 5 stars Laughing all the way, April 25, 2001

It started when the local DJ started playing "Walking Round In Women's Underwear" during the run up to Christmas. This was a big hit with the guys where I work, and I wanted to know more about this track. When I came across the CD, I thought "this should be interesting" and sent off for it. I'm glad I did, because it's a real hoot. Rivers sends up loads of my (and I dare say your) Xmas favourites (O Christmas tree played on a chainsaw, for example?) and the genres run from rock (I can't hear My Favourite Things from Mary Poppins without thinking of the version on this CD) to classical (the "What's It To Ya" chorus, my pick of the tracks) and while some are obviously there to pad out the space, I think you'll enjoy this one. I certainly did, and maybe I'll get one of Rivers' other CDs for next year.
