Bob Rivers' More Twisted Christmas is another collection of inane, juvenile novelty holiday songs, highlighted by "It's the Most Fattening Time of the Year," "Sled Zeppelin," "Holidaze (S'Cuze Me, I've Got Gifts to Buy)," "There's a Santa Who Looks a Lot Like Elvis," "HEY YOU! Get Off of My House," "Yellow Snow! Yellow Snow! Yellow Snow!," and the immortally titled "Buttcracker Suite." If you thought the titles were funny, you'll probably think the songs are funny too. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
