Okay, I am a frickin' idiot. I was all set to note the confluence of The Incredible Awesome That is Bob Rivers with The Incredible Awesome That is Stan Freberg.
And then I remembered (after some searching, that jogged my memory) that the particular song I was looking for by the Incredible Awesome That is Stan Freberg wasn't. It was actually The Incredible Awesome That is Allan Sherman.
I am so ashamed. I blame it on the age. And the alcohol.
Anyway, here are two takes on a Christmas classic. Please do listen to both all the way through, the particulars tend to change a mite with each verse.
The Incredible Awesome That is Bob Rivers:
And The Incredible Awesome That is Allan Sherman:
For you youngsters not familiar with The Incredible Awesome That is Allan Sherman, please do search on him. He is teh funny.
And for no particular reason, here is a Bill Engval Christmas video ("No sir, that's ZZ Top doing a Farm Aid concert"):

No one ever did parody songs better than Allan Sherman.
And "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh" must hold the all-time record for the parody most often parodied by other parodists.

Gonna be hard for me to resist singing that if I have students coming in going, "Hey, I know I didn't hand in half the homework, but I need to pass your class. Do you give extra credit?" this week.
Oh yeah, "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah" is the all time classic.
