Amusing Chrismas CD,
By J. Pinkerton Snoopington (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A John Waters Christmas (Audio CD)
John Waters, the legendary 'prince of puke' director of "Pink Flamingos" and "Hairspray" has compiled a perfectly enjoyable collection of strange Christmas music. Among the tracks are Tiny Tim singing "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer," Alvin and the Chipmunks' "Sleigh Ride," the hilariously profane "Here Comes Fatty Claus," and a strange Kwanza Carol "Santa Claus is a Black Man." While repeated listening might get tiresome (there are only so many times I can stand to hear "I Wish You A Merry Christmas"), the CD is a funny and interesting collection of Chistmas music that is not too often played on the radio. Liner notes by Waters are also included.

You simply have no idea, I promise you.,
By Elizabeth - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A John Waters Christmas (Audio CD)
This album, while not meant for easy listening or general Christmas cheer, is a true gem amongst the zillions of schmaltzy holiday albums foisted upon us every year.It ranges from saracstic pop (I Wish You A Merry Christmas), to diabetes-inducing child showcases (Happy Birthday Jesus; Sleigh Bells, Reindeer And Snow), to bah-humbug sentiments (Here Comes Fatty Claus), to simply jaw-dropping urban black power sentiments (Santa Claus Is A Black Man), to spine-tingling theremin tunes (First Snowfall). But I promise you, you'll love every minute, and count your holiday blessings that John Waters took the time to put together this eclectic and genius compilation. Note: NOT work-safe, for sure. Happy Holidays! 25 of 27 people found the following review helpful

A John Waters thrill ride for Christmas!,
By Matthew G. Sherwin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A John Waters Christmas (Audio CD)
Yes, I know it: it's politically incorrect, rude and silly--but you know what? This CD is AWESOME! As a baby boomer I love the 60s beat of the first track, "Fat Daddy." Great parody of Santa! I had to laugh! GRIN Actually, a lot of this CD has a 60s feel to it. Also funny and very entertaining is the next song "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" sung here by Tiny Tim! And WHO could ever forget the ultimate rendition of "Sleigh Ride" as only Alvin and The Chipmunks could belt out?This CD is something like what would happen if MadTV or In Living Color from the 90s ever produced a Christmas album! It's funny, well written and it moves at just the right pace. As other reviewers have noted, I am pretty sure that some of these songs would be pretty hard to find elsewhere. That being said--go on out and get this CD for a Christmas time this year embellished with a John Waters twist! Even if it weren't Christmas time it would STILL be a fun CD to have in any collection.

Sick and Sublime,
By Robert Lett - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A John Waters Christmas (Audio CD)
This is one cool spin, it's like the anti-christmas cd really. I just love it, i've been playing it all week. Perfect antidote to the usual syrupy christmas releases. We should all be in John Waters debt for digging these up, let's all send him a turd or something!
