Most of you reading this probably know that I have a (bizarre) sense of humor. So in addition to the serious Christmas songs in my collection, there are also a number of humorous Christmas Songs I Love. After all, I have the Chipmunks, Sesame Street, and the Muppets in my collection, and enjoy them all. And, oddly enough, all of them have a humorous version of “The Twelve Days of Christmas.”

IMO, the best way to perform that song is as a send-up of some sort. Eddie Izzard has a fun bit in Dressed to Kill where he discusses the “5 Gold Rings” bit in the song. (Must admit, that’s my favorite bit, too.) But of all the send-ups, my favorite version is by Straight No Chaser, an a capella men’s group.

If you enjoyed this, too, I highly recommend their “Christmas Can Can” as well.
