The Anti-Claus must die
Nov 30 2003
Format:Audio CD
This is a Christmas CD by my favorite a capella group. If you are familiar with the Bobs, you know what to expect. If not, let me describe the songs for you:
1. "Yuleman vs. the Anti-Claus" tells the epic tale of a battle between a Christmas themed superhero and his arch-enemy, the evil opposite of Santa Claus.
2. "Mambo, Santa, Mambo" is a remake of an obscure song recorded by the Enchanters back in 1956.
3. "Too Many Santas" is a comical song about seeing too many people dressed up like Santa Claus.
4. "Christmas in Jail" is a remake of an obscure song by the Youngsters about the dangers of drinking and driving.
5. "Santa's Got a Brand New Bag" features guest narration by Dr. Katz.
6. "Fifty Kilowatt Tree" is a hilarious song about a guy with an overdone Christmas display in his yard, and it's my personal favorite on the album.
7. "The Night Before the Night Before Christmas" is a country song about D-I-V-O-R-C-E.
8. "Do You Hear What I Hear, Man?" is an "instrumental" without instruments.
9. "Christmas in L.A." is a humorous song about...well, it's pretty obvious from the title.
10. "Mrs. Claus Wants Some Lovin'" is a gender changed version of an obsure Christmas song.
11. "Rasta Reindeer" is a reggae version of the Beach Boys best known Christmas song.
12. "All I Want For Christmas" is the only "serious" song on the album. It's a touching song about missing your loved ones at the holidays.
I give this CD my highest recommendation. Only Scrooge and the Grinch wouldn't like this album.
The Bobs are the superior A Capella Band!

The Bobs are amazing! This holiday CD has some of the most obscure songs... Don't get me wrong, this is not an insult. You will laugh so hard you will hurt! The lyrics are so intelligent and the stories told within are hilarious. If you don't own this you should and you should also listen/buy their other records: "coaster"; "i brow club"; "plugged"; "the bobs cover the songs of..."; "shut up and sing!"; "the bobs sing the songs of..."; "best of the bobs"; "songs for tomorrow morning"; "my, i'm large"; and "the bobs". i highly recommend their cover albums - it's amazing to hear the likes of the doors, the beatles and johnny cash Bobs style!
Perhaps the most plainly delightful holiday disk ever.

Everything the Bobs do is enormously entertaining. However, this is the only Christmas disk I've ever left in the CD changer all year long. The lyrics are hilarious, the delivery is impeccable, and the attitude is contagious. This is the one MUST BUY gift for all your friends around the holidays. P.S. If you ever get to see them in concert, do so.

If you're a fan of the Bobs, you already have this CD, so I'll direct myself to those who aren't already familiar with this a cappella treasure: the Bobs are an a cappella quartet... Read more

This is, perhaps, the finest, funniest Christmas disk ever.
If you are not familiar with The Bobs, this Christmas record will be something like your first roller-coaster ride. Read more
