I Am Santa Claus

Product Description:

Looking for irreverence in your holiday nut mix? Bob Rivers does such a great job of social, political, and seasonal satire under the guise of many a familiar holiday tune that he's lucky he hasn't been run over by a reindeer. Rivers apes all the department-store Santas (sung to the tune of "Here Comes Santa Claus") with "There's Another Santa Claus," lambastes "Teddy Kennedy the Red-Nosed Senator," and sends up Marlon Brando's Godfather in the inspired "A Letter to Santa," which warns of Santa's movement into mob territory. There are a few clunkers among the moving and snoozing targets, but Rivers nearly always elicits a chuckle. The biggest yuks, though, come on the title track as he reaches back to Black Sabbath's "I Am Ironman" classic to turn dear old Santa into a heavy-metal monster. Call it "Headnog"--and get it for the unholy rollers on your list. --Martin Keller

I AM SANTA CLAUS2009-01-06
Very funny if you know someone that is hard to buy for & has a sense of humor.
Disappointed2008-12-12
Of all the Bob Rivers Christmas Cd's this was the worse of them. It has a one song "Walking around in Women's underwear" that made us laugh. The rest duds.
Hilarious2008-11-16
This is a must have if:

you get depressed around the holidays
you are "bah, humbug" about the holidays
you have older kids (some songs are a little risque)
you are a black Sabbath fan - the I am Santa Claus song (to the tune of Iron Man) alone is worth the purchase
you just want a laugh
Its ok... I guess2008-10-28
It was a good CD, it had some funny songs, but it wasn't as good as some of his other holiday cds
Great for the synic at Christmas2008-01-14
This is an excellent CD. The songs are catchy and the quality of the music is first class. Bob Rivers may have an irreverant take on christmas but a healthy dose of synicism is always welcome. I would thouroughly recommend this ablum to anyone who wants to really laugh
