Novelty Christmas Songs

Why aren’t there very many novelty songs on the radio this year? I did catch “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” (Elmo & Patsy), “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” (Jimmy Boyd) and the Nat King Cole version of “All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth,” but not much else.

Whatever happened to …

· “Jingle Bells” by the Singing Dogs

· “Christmas Don’t Be Late” by the Chipmunks

· “I Yust Go Nuts at Christmas” by Yogi Yorgesson

· “Nuttin’ for Christmas” by Stan Freberg

· “Twelve Gifts of Christmas” by Allan Sherman

I need a good laugh around now.
