Nothing gets me more in the spirit than holiday music. My go-to Pandora station in December is “Swingin’ Christmas” which features the likes of Bing Crosby, Dean Martin and Nat King Cole. This year, however, I unearthed an old album that was in heavy rotation during adolescent-Jenna’s holiday seasons: Twisted Christmas by Bob Rivers. My favorite song was the opening track, a parody of the Twelve Days of Christmas in which Bob bemoans the undesirable activities that go along with the most wonderful time of the year.
Since I too enjoy re-writing or “twisting” the lyrics of popular songs to create a humorous version, I thought: what better way to honor Bob than to parody his parody. While I won’t subject you all to my own horrific singing, I do encourage you to sing along with my UPDATED lyrics below. Why not gather ‘round the ol’ conference room phone and sing it to your boss!
Happy Holidays, everyone!
