Regarding holiday music, I'm a big fan of satire. But, of course, I hold high esteem for traditional hymns. And I'll be the first to belt out one of Darlene Love's or Mariah Carey's pop Christmas classics! Still, nothing tickles my funny bone like campy tunes such as Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer, The Chimney Song (Something's Stuck Up In The Chimney), and the uproarious The Twelve Pains Of Christmas.
Speaking of The Twelve Pains Of Christmas, I decided to write my own Christmas Parody Carol. This is a little diddy I call The Twelve Pains Of Gamer Christmas, featuring all the bugs and glitches that make gaming extra frustrating during the holidays. So gather 'round the Rock Band controllers and sing along with me!
