This review is from: Twisted Christmas (Audio CD)

I can't stand Christmas music. Its so... cheerful and religous. most people don't see christmas as a religous holiday anymore. Its basically about giving gifts and Santa Claus. I love this cd because it makes fun of those annoying christmas carols. I have this cd and have shared it with my friends and they have all loved it.

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Twisted Christmas (Audio CD)

While it will never take the place of traditional seasonal favorites, TWISTED CHRISTMAS will at least give you a bit of relief when you feel hard-pressed by your excessively jolly bretheren. For at its best, this is one wickedly funny CD!

For the most part, the songs here are take-offs and parodies of traditional Christmas favorites, and when TWISTED CHRISTMAS scores, it hits a bulls eye. "The Twelve Pains of Christmas" walk us through such seasonal horrors as screaming children and those infernal Christmas lights ("one of 'em goes out, they ALL go out!"); "We Wish You Weren't Living With Us" chronicles the terrors of guests who NEVER seem to leave; and "The Restroom Door Said Gentleman" offers the tale of a shopper who becomes the victim of a really nasty practical joke. It's all very funny stuff.

The two best selections, however, are original ones. "The Chimney Song" is a truly hilarious little jingle sung by a lisping tyke who can't quite figure out what's been stuck up in the chimney for so long--and "I'm Dressing Up As Santa (When I Get Out On Parole)" is enough to take the wind out any reveler's sails the next time they see a guy in costume on their street. These alone are worth the price of the CD.

True, there are some mis-fires along the way. "A Visit from St. Nicholson" (as in Jack) is a clever idea, but it doesn't quite come up to the standard of the rest. "O Come All Ye Grateful Dead-Heads" is not only dated, it's ho-hum at best, and "A Message from the King" (Elvis, of course) isn't so much bad-taste-funny as just bad taste. But all in all, this is a fun little recording and certainly the best Christmas comedy CD I've come across--and I recommend it for every one who has had it up to here with holiday cheer!

By A Customer

This review is from: Twisted Christmas (Audio CD)

the songs are pretty corny and the music's pretty rough, but the lines are hysterical! I play it every year as a tradition now when we go around looking at xmas lights.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
I was disappointed with the album. A couple of funny songs, but most were annoying or plain dumb!
