Bob Rivers has great Christmas songs and titles: Teddy The Red Nosed Kennedy, Grab Your Balls like Michael Jackson (Deck the Halls...), Walkin' 'Round In Women's Underwear (Sleighbells Ring), Buttcracker Suite, I'll Be Stoned for Christmas, Police Stopped My Car (FN), Chipmunks Roasting On An Open Fire, plus his non-holiday cheer: The Girl With Emphysema, and What If God Smoked Cannibis.
During the disco era, Frank Zappa had a great album titled Sheik Yerbouti. Not only did he dress as a Sheik, we all learned that it was actually pronounced "Shake", as in Your Boooty.
Interestingly, The song Dinah Moe Hum had three stand in female singers who sang the chorus, "I got a spot that gets me hot... but you ain't been to it..." They were paid under $200 each for their work on this fantastic album, Overnight Sensation. Each of the Ikettes and Tina made the same money. Their contribution was hidden for years, because Tina Turner and the Ikettes's were contracted with Ike Willis, and presumably the record company. Copies of their pay checks emerged decades later. "Wanna do it on the Flora? How about you Fauna, ya wanna?"
Bob Rivers: Teddy The Red Nosed Kennedy. The Girl With Emphysema. The others by him that were deleted due to censorship... apparently. I don't know it it was the Michael Jackson song, or the parody of I'll be home for Christmas, but I can avoid this if I ever find out.
