 Funny December 11, 2008
This cassette is 23 minutes and 32 seconds long. There a some laughs on this cassttes. When he does his version of the Twelve Pains of Christmas; and beleive me they are painful ones: stringing up the lights, meeting my in-laws and five months of bills. Ouch. Other good songs are: Wreck The Malls, O Come All Ye Greatful Dead Heads, and The Restroom Door Said, "Gentlemen." If you want some fun for Christmas, then buy this cassette.
 Antidote for Sugary Music January 2, 2008
When you have overdosed on mall music and sentimental sappy songs, this collection of Christmas parodies will revive your "ho ho ho!"
These songs are really fun music, sung well and with impeccable music renditions that recall the originals. You'll soon be singing the lyrics to such upbeat charmers as "The Restroom Door Said Gentlemen" (sung to the tune of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen") and "We Wish You Weren't Living With Us" (sung to the tune "We Wish You a Merry Christmas.") See the song list to get your imagination spinning.
Not sure? You can sample some of the songs at Bob Rivers' website; just Google "Bob Rivers Twisted Christmas." If you like the collections of parodies by Dr. Demento, you'll be impressed with Bob Rivers. Believe me, you'll want your own album so you can play these winners for your friends and family - anyone who needs a refresher shot of joy!
This is MY classic Christmas album December 13, 2007
I have loved this album since the first day I heard it. I bought it in a pawn shop in either June or July and laughed my butt off driving home listening to it. This is my all time favorite Christmas album. The other Bob Rivers Christmas albums are great too, but like your first love, you never get over your first Twisted Christmas.........
1. The Twelve Pains Of Christmas - This is the best version ever of this tired old song. I love the dude with his lights and the homosexual and his Christmas cards
2. The Chimney Song - This song is totally retarded. Sung by a lisp impaired kid who sounds like a cartoon duck.
3. We Wish You Weren't Living With Us - A take off of We wish you a Merry Christmas. This is a great parody worth of Weird Al.
4. Wreck The Malls - Why Deck the Halls when you can wreck the malls? Release the beagles, blast Twisted Sister, and go to K-mart on a Harley. The girl who sings part of this is so sexy and sassy. I wish I knew what she looked like.
5. A Visit From St. Nicholson - Twas the night before Christmas results in Jack Nichelson burning down your Christmas Tree
6. O Come All Ye Grateful Dead-Heads - This is OK. NOt being a DeadHead myself, this tune doesn't do much for me. But it's part of the album and belongs here in a weird way.
7. I'm Dressin' Up Like Santa (When I Get Out On Parole) - Here is the 'country western' song. It is original and pretty good.
8. The Restroom Door Said, 'Gentlemen' - The laughs come again and this is one of my favorites. Watch out for those nuns!
9. Foreigners - This song is way ahead of its time even though immigration has always been a problem. "Feed us slobs who live for free" indeed.
10. Joy To The World - Here is a great instrumental. Hendrix would be proud.
11. A Message From The King - This is a personal favorite of mine. My brother is a huge Elvis fan and I think of him every time I play this. "Helping...uh hand.... uh helping... can you pass me a helping of those mashed taters?"
Enjoy folks. This is classic.
Oh geez, look at this. November 5, 2007
Hard to believe that it's been 20 years since Bob Rivers' first Christmas album came out. Since that time "The Twelve Pains of Christmas" has become a Christmas perennial on radio stations across the country. That's the best known and arguably best song on the album, but the rest of the songs are funny, too. The cuts about the Grateful Dead and Jack Nicholson are dated, and the Elvis bit is pretty tasteless, but the rest of the songs are timeless. Fans of funny Christmas music should enjoy it.
Really funny Christmas songs September 24, 2007
