Free Music Notes for A John Waters Christmas
Free Music Review: A John Waters thrill ride for Christmas!
Hit: 5 Stars
Yes, I know it: it's politically incorrect, rude and silly--but you know what? This CD is AWESOME! As a baby boomer I love the 60s beat of the first track, "Fat Daddy." Great parody of Santa! I had to laugh! GRIN Actually, a lot of this CD has a 60s feel to it. Also funny and very entertaining is the next song "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" sung here by Tiny Tim! And WHO could ever forget the ultimate rendition of "Sleigh Ride" as only Alvin and The Chipmunks could belt out?
This CD is something like what would happen if MadTV or In Living Color from the 90s ever produced a Christmas album! It's funny, well written and it moves at just the right pace. As other reviewers have noted, I am pretty sure that some of these songs would be pretty hard to find elsewhere. That being said--go on out and get this CD for a Christmas time this year embellished with a John Waters twist! Even if it weren't Christmas time it would STILL be a fun CD to have in any collection.

This album, while not meant for easy listening or general Christmas cheer, is a true gem amongst the zillions of schmaltzy holiday albums foisted upon us every year.
It ranges from saracstic pop (I Wish You A Merry Christmas), to diabetes-inducing child showcases (Happy Birthday Jesus; Sleigh Bells, Reindeer And Snow), to bah-humbug sentiments (Here Comes Fatty Claus), to simply jaw-dropping urban black power sentiments (Santa Claus Is A Black Man), to spine-tingling theremin tunes (First Snowfall).
But I promise you, you'll love every minute, and count your holiday blessings that John Waters took the time to put together this eclectic and genius compilation.
Note: NOT work-safe, for sure. Happy Holidays!

This is the feel good CD of this year's holiday season. And I'm not just saying that because I'm a fellow eccentric from Baltimore! John Waters' musical selections will make you laugh, cry and cringe - sometimes all at once! Everyone in the office is already singing "Here Comes Fatty Claus", "Little Mary Christmas" is resplendent in its awfulness and "Fat Daddy" could only come from...well... Fat Daddy. Buy a copy for yourself. Then buy one for someone you like. Heck, buy it for someone you don't like. Just buy it, already. And Mr. Waters...have a merry, rotten, scary, sexy, biracial, ludicrous, happy little Christmas yourself! Will you be decorating the electric chair this year?????Free Music Review: Snarky yet in good fun!

This is a marvelous collection of vintage kitch and holiday schmalz that pokes fun at the excesses of only just slightly different times--familiar sounding but often never before heard songs of such bad taste that they are delicious. The orphan talk-speak song is so over the top you can't imagine it wasn't done with tongue in cheek but i don't think it was. The other Tiny Tim is perfect for a holiday spin. Nobody sings better Xmas anthems than the Jews. And if a singing saw isn't the perfect instrument for a holiday song, well you can just call me your gay. But call me.Free Music Review: A John Waters Christmas

I bought this cd because I was wanting one song on it. The song is Fatty Claus. If you are the faint at heart or the one that gets offended easily don't buy this cd. Fatty Claus has some cussing in it. If you don't mind a little cussing and want to listen to a cute Christmas song, then this is the one for you. The cd has some other great old songs on it to listen to also. I enjoy listening to this cd. The price is a bargain for all of these old songs to be on one cd. If I didn't already have this cd, I would buy it. Sandy
