Also, I am currently compiling a Christmas CD. This is my second
year. Last year's was EXTREMELY popular, and I am still making copies.
The focus of the compilation is novelty/demented/strange.. a lot of
stuff that you may have heard on Dr. D. Some examples from last year:
Be-bop Santa Claus - Babs Gonzales
Donde Esta Santa Claus - Augie Rios
Must Be Santa - Lorne Greene (!)
Want to see Santa do the Mambo - Big John Greer
Mele Kalikimake - Bing Crosby
Santa's Comin' in a Whirlybird - Gene Autry
And lots of suprises in-between tracks.
It's professionally packaged with KILLER
cover art from a rare copy of the the Comic
book "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians."
The idea is to celebrate all that is WEIRD about this truly
bizarre Holiday. This started as a little home-project to make christmas
gifts for friends and clients, but I keep getting asked for extra
copies. It's getting out of hand.
I'd LOVE to hear from folks with suggestions of favorite Christmas
oddities. This is quickly becoming a Nationwide collaborative
effort, as many folks on the internet have replied with suggestions
and even some disks/tapes to loan. I obviously can't do this for
everyone, but I will send a disk to folks that REALLY go out of their
way to help.
Looking forward to hearing from YOU!
I've never heard of Fay McKay, but I still suggest requesting it from
Dr. D.
Hmmm...this may have gotten mentioned in the 12 days of Christmas
thread on this newsgroup. I'll check Deja News.
Does three hours combing Deja News count as really going out of my way?
The list below has *all* the 12 Days of Christmas satires I found going
through this newsgroup's archives. Unfortunately, Fay McKay wasn't mentioned
until your post. I'm going to go dig on music blvd. Maybe they've heard of
it.

I know there is a "Twelve Days of Atlanta Falcons Christmas" by them as well.
I'd be willing to bet there was one for each team in the NFL in 1980.
Dementedly yours,

All of which would be building upon the 1972 record, "The Game Plan to
Beat Miami" by The Monday Morning Quarterback -- a 12 Days of Christmas
parody about the Miami Dolphins with a Howard Cosell imitator.
