| | Wacky Christmas CD
Wacky Christmas gathers up most of the best-known Christmas novelty hits of the past few decades, including what may the biggest (and most annoying, if you're not in the mood) one of them all, Elmo & Patsy's "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer." Bob & Doug McKenzie's "Twelve Days of Christmas," Stan Freberg's "Nuttin' for Christmas," the Singing Dogs' "Jingle Bells" and the Jingle Cats' "Jingle Cat Medley" are all here too, along with contributions from such novelty veterans as Tiny Tim, Buster Poindexter, Allan Sherman, and Hampton the Hampster. Wacky Christmas definitely lives up to its name, but only children or other people with a high tolerance for quirkiness will be able to listen to it in one sitting. ~ Heather Phares Wacky Christmas Songs | 1. | Twelve Days of Christmas - Bob McKenzie/Doug McKenzie |

| | Elmo & Patsy Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer CD (1984) Remastered
Wacky Christmas
 $6.09  
For Elmo & Patsy fans -- or any admirer of tongue-in-cheek tunes with country flair -- the title track on this album alone is a good enough reason to purchase it for your Christmas collection. Elmo & Patsy are really characters portrayed by a man named Elmo Shropshire, a man who has lead a varied enough life to create many more characters, if he ever so chooses. He has spent stretches as a horse trainer, jockey, veterinarian, and even as a competitive runner. Somehow he found time to perform with a bluegrass band and work on some solo offerings. "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" was written and first performed in 1979. The video for the single debuted on MTV in 1983, and the full-length album that carries the same name was released a year later. The title track became an instant hit, moving above longtime favorites like "White Christmas" on the music charts. The album has sold more than seven million copies since it hit the store shelves. Other tracks on the recording include some fun Christmas classics like "Jingle Bells," "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer," and ...
| | Toby Keith Greatest Hits 2 CD (2004)
Wacky Christmas
$12.19
All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology.
Although Toby Keith was a regular resident of the Billboard country charts for nearly 10 years before the release of 2002's UNLEASHED, it was that album and its attendant pro-Iraq War anthem, "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)," that catapulted him to genuine superstar status. The Oklahoma-born singer is often criticized for his politically conservative beliefs, but one listen to GREATEST HITS 2 will make it hard for any listener to resist Keith's warm, commanding baritone, dance-floor-ready neo-traditionalist rhythms, and sharp songwriting.
Though it doesn't present anything from Keith's massively popular 2003 record SHOCK'N Y'ALL, the disc does collect many of the best moments from UNLEASHED, PULL MY CHAIN, and HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW. The compilation also adds several ...
| | John Waters Christmas CD (2004)
Wacky Christmas
$9.55
A John Waters Christmas is the type of kitschy Christmas compilation one would expect from the cult director, featuring such gems as Roger Christian's reading of "Little Mary Christmas," the ballad of an orphaned girl who is passed up for adoption year after year until Santa Claus finally brings her a new set of parents, and Tiny Tim's rendition of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," which is, in all earnestness, one of the most uplifting and beautifully sincere versions of the song ever recorded. Certainly the holiday season is the perfect time to exercise musical novelty, considering that any holiday CD will stay on the shelf for the majority of the year. Waters has picked the best and fuzziest numbers for this set, including (oddly) a modern composition by Chicago indie provocateurs ...

Despite the sometimes syrupy background vocals (courtesy of arranger Shorty Rogers), CHRISTMAS ALBUM is a fairly straightforward Herb Alpert outing, with plenty of uptempo numbers given the Brass's good ole Mexican cantina treatment. The rub here, naturally, is ...

| | Julie Miller Blue Pony CD (1997)
Wacky Christmas
$11.39
BLUE PONY, Miller's debut record on Hightone (her previous effort was on a small, Christian-oriented label) places her as a kind of quirky alternative-Americana artist. Think of a rootsy Victoria Williams, whose voice Miller often brings to mind. As if to purposely move past the "country" label, BLUE PONY starts off strong with a rocker, "A Kiss On the Lips," with its understated energy and Hammond B-3 backing. The next song "Take Me Back," is a high lonesome duet with Julie's husband and co-producer, Hightone recording artist Buddy Miller. It recalls the kind of Appalachian folk songs that lie at the roots of commercial country music.
While BLUE PONY does feature guest appearances by some big names (both Emmylou Harris and Steve Earle contribute their talents), the real star here is Miller's voice, a slightly helium-laced affair that you'll either find completely irresistible or somewhat annoying. What makes her singing remarkable, though, ...
